Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 26, 2025

I'm Confident Of That (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 1, 2020

People Who Says I'm In Love. Are You Having These Traits In You ?

Contributed by Vini Charles on Jun 3, 2021

Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes ...read more
