An old song says, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of." The question is how to get it. In the book of Romans chapter 5 verse 5, Paul says, "And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God [...]
The Main Thing
In every circumstance and every situation, there is one determining factor that has the power to alter, change, restore, and make brand new.
