"For God so loved the world, that He gave his one and only son that whosoever shall believe in him should not
perish but have eternal life" John 3:16




"YOU are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a
bowl.  Instead they put it on a stand, and gives light to EVERYONE in the house.  In the same way, let YOUR light
shine before men, that they may see YOUR good deeds and praise YOUR father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16















"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to be willing to lay down
and live our lives for others."  1 John 3:16





"The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'  If you keep on  biting and
devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."
Galatians 5:14-15
