May 22: “Love Your Church!” (Revelation 19:6-8)

Jesus Christ loves his bride, the church. Jesus loved and gave himself up for his people. Do we love the church that Jesus loves? Some people say that they like Jesus but don’t like the church. But the truth is that if we don’t love Christ’s bride, we don’t love Christ. We should stop church […]
