As a Christian, you have been bought by the blood of Jesus.  You are to glorify God in your body and your spirit.  1 Corinthians 6:20 “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”  The Apostle Paul pleads with us to present our […]

As a Christian, you should be characterized by love, just as God is characterized by love.  1 John 4:8 “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”  In fact, the two greatest commandments are to love.  Mark 12:30-31 “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, […]
