Perhaps one of the most dramatic love stories is not to be found among Shakespeare's narrations rather we have it in the Bible.

What questions did thou have; what ran … Continue reading What were you looking for Zacchaeus?
If you love God, do love people
***** Is it possible to love God only? Be in love with Him and not love people?

This I told my heart

Here comes, the bridegroom of the church
