Subject: Does God love everything? |
Bible Note: Greetings Hank! One illustrative example is that of a human father's love for a wayward child. I know that I HATE what my daughter has become and what she does, but I love her still. I can imagine how God must feel about His wayward children. I think that how we view God's love reveals much about ourselves. p.s. - Keep me in prayer. I believe that God has been leading me to do some evangelistic small groups in my daughter's neighborhood. This would be hard core evangelism among drug dealers, prostitutes, strippers, ect.... I really have been feeling what I believe to be God's leading about this. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
