    But For The Love Of God

    But For The Love Of God Scriptures: John 3:16; Matthew 4:8-10; 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The last time that I spoke to you I delivered a message about knowing THE Name. The name everyone will bow to and confess is THE Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In that message I stressed the importance and ...read more

    How do you describe God's greatest attribute? LOVE!!! As the Bible has made many attempts on defining LOVE it is beyond comprehension. But it is Indescribable. incomprehensible, intimate, eternal, perfect, pure, unconditional, intimate, forgiving, and sacrificial.
