Psalm 25:1-10
1 Peter 3:18-22
Mark 1:9-15
Sacrificial love: the anti-thesis of human culture is what God has given to us. The hallmark of our great religion is the renunciation of self for the sake of others. Jesus died for our sins that we committed so that He could bring us to God.
At the end of this [...]

There is a time [frame]
