Inspirational Messages
Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
This first verse expresses the goal, the hope, the prayer of all Christians. What a great thing it would be if all the people could live together harmoniously! What things we could accomplish! What great pleasure we would have! How attractive that would be.
Matthew 24:12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Even though we might fancy ourselves as expert judges, at times it can be tricky to determine by observation whether the agape love is truly cooling. This is because the word “love” can be a subjective term, and even the phrase “sacrificial love” is wide open to interpretation.
We’d LOVE to hear from YOU!
