    Everyone talks about true love. But the Apostle John tells us how we are supposed to love.

    In just two days, we celebrate a holiday centered around the concept of love. We’ve seen traces of it for weeks.

Within the body of Christ will arise issues that are deemed doctrinal by some and opinion by others. 1. Both sides believe they have the truth on the divisive subject. 2. Such was ...read more
