A Different Kind of Love

by

O Lord, we have just sung these words, “Though I may speak with bravest fire and have the gift to all inspire, and have not love, my words are vain, as sounding brass and hopeless gain.” Surely that is true. It’s true for the preacher, it’s true for the listener. We want to love as […]

A Vision Worth Pursuing
