The world of evil repeatedly uses the word ‘love’ without any definition, or understanding of the depth of the word. They declare, ‘Love, love, love, love,’ when in their hearts it is, ‘Hate, hate, hate, hate’. There is only one love, and that is the love of God. Without this love, one cannot understand love. It was the deepest love that took Christ to the cross. It was the greatest love that God the Father endured the death of His Son. It was the ultimate love when the God-Man laid down His life for His friends. – Michael Haigh

Rolls (1856 – unknown)

One of the devil’s favorite ploys is to argue about the Hebrew, the Aramaic, and the Greek languages and distract attention away from the words of God to how man compiled the manuscripts of the past leaving out entirely the true issue of the power of God to preserve, and maintain His word. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29) – Michael Haigh
