Hospitality: It’s More than Just Good Food
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

The One True Valentine
The Love Chapter. 1 Corinthians 13. If I began by simply stating, “Love is patient. Love is kind,” you would possibly know most of the rest. Because it is used at various weddings. The words are plastered throughout the year for a number of reasons. At times, it is even used as a Valentine’s message…

Love God, Love People…But Yourself?
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.

As He Has Loved You
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. John 15:12 There are ten commandments provided by God. Spoken through Moses. Then there is the commandment given by Jesus, not canceling the first ten; but making them all possible to do. Through love. In John 15, Jesus is speaking…

The Original “Ride or Die”
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 Ride or die. It’s a term actually originated in the 1950’s by bikers referring to the fact that if they couldn’t ride, they would rather die. It is now being used to refer to relationships-those that are romantic in…

That One Verse
It very well could be one of the first verses you memorized. Perhaps it is the verse you have heard recited the most often in church services. It is certainly probably one of the most widely quoted, even written in paint under the eyes of football players. You are likely saying it to yourself at…

On a Journey to Real Love
When we finally begin to see God the way He truly sees us-with nothing but love; we begin to focus on old dreams and visions we let die with the opinions of the world around us. I documented the year long journey God took me to seek and find His true love for me (here…
