― Mark Twain

“Battle for believing the truth”

It is important to attend a church that actively reads the Bible, and invites you to do so.
How do we define or understand love?
Pastor Justin points us to 1 John 3:16-20 and 1 John 4:19-20.
Be clear on what a Biblical Love is. Its purpose is not permissiveness, but must be rooted in the Word. Be guided by what the Bible says
