The only way God can be true love, not self love, is if somehow He is a complex unity. Do you like hearing stories about the early days of your parents, or even earlier ancestors? If you do, this is it! Of your very first parents, the Bible says, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make […]
“But why, Mommy?” is the most fundamental question, and no scientist can answer it. When Christians talk about the creation of our wonderful world, they often talk about how and when it occurred.
