I want to begin this morning by asking you a question. I want to get a mic and have a few of you give me your feed back. Raise you hand. What Is Love in Action?

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
