Faith, Hope and Love
Now I’m not going to be talking theologically about the topics of faith, hope and love… although I could mention: Everything not done in Faith is sin… …and everything that does not come from faith is sin. Romans 14:23b (New International Version) Everything not done in Love is useless… If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but [...]
