AT THAT TIME FEWER THAN 2 MILLION AMERICANS HAD ALZHEIMER'S BUT AS OF THIS MONTH IT HAS SOARED TO OVER 5.4 MILLION. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DECIDED TO USE THIS MESSAGE TO BRING...
John 18:23 "Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?"
God's kind of love is not self-serving or self-seeking. Agape love will cause a person to lay down his life for another (Jn. 15:13), because he has literally forgotten himself. Many times when heros are...
