    based on 1 rating
     | 4,338 views

    The Biblical word "peace" [Greek ~ Irene] signifies far more than merely the absence of war. It carries the idea of completeness and wholeness. It conveys a sense of inner-satisfaction and fulfillment. It communicates the idea of contentment and serenity.

Today, we are going to look at love. I told you last week, that one verse has been driving me as a ...read more
