    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

    It is sad that many godly men and women in the bible failed to fulfil their destiny: they lost it to the master dodger; the devil.

    It is tragic to be a victim of robbery. I was once been a victim of this crime myself.
