We are called to be a kingdom of people living in a foreign land, representing the King himself in a world that thought it best to crucify him.

Text: VariousIn your marriage and in your Christian life, it’s not law but love that matters: The law says, “You must.” Love says, “I want to.” Before you come to Christ, you are on a continual performance standard, trying to do more in order to win God’s approval.
