    Today is Palm Sunday and we’re all under the order of our Governor to stay home and keep our distance from one another.

    Two weeks ago we established the principle that love is not a feeling, but rather an action. Last week, we attempted to apply that principle to the problem of dealing with enemies. This morning, we wrap up our look at love with what I think is a very crucial question; does love ever set limits? ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,201 views

    Persecution shows us that we are doing what we are supposed to do: be different and make a difference.
