Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 11, 2010 at 5:22 AM This is very nice information, John. With the proper focus, Defnition #3 if understood by the masses, could give a whole new meaning to "Dinner on the grounds...the church grounds." This should be passed along so it can reach all Christian churches. I think it would increase spirituality. Agape! Dane Ann

Audrey Haick March 5, 2010 at 7:02 AM Love is the core, or should be of our Christian beliefs..without it, as Jesus said we are just "brass cymbals"!!...like himself, perfect words he spoke!
