I’ve had a difficult time over the last few days – so, I’ll keep my comments short until I catch up.
The best bit, I thought, from today’s study is: ‘Expand your personality through perfect love so that love empowers the will, drives the emotions and clears the mind. This expansion drives out all fear. It [...]
What compels us – to act in certain ways? This is a very good question because I think it’s a type of acid test – we, can say we believe in Jesus and maybe even recite John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes [...]
