“I take you to be mine to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.” There is nothing more special than seeing a radiant bride walk down the aisle while the groom… Continue reading Hos 2:19-20 – The wedding vow
Are you up to trying the “Do Good” challenge? We live in an age where doing good is encouraged and celebrated. There are more charities and other organisations doing good today than ever before. This is amazing. However, joining one of these is not the challenge. Jesus issued the challenge two thousand years ago, “But… Continue reading Mat 5:44 – The Do Good Challenge
