I Kings 11:2: “Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel; You shall not go in to them neither shall they come in unto you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their god. Solomon clave unto those in love.” The last phrase really caught my
Hebrews 13:15: “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.” “The driving force for us to bring a sacrifice or offering to God is to bring us closer to God.” Rabbi Solomon Hirsch We all

Genesis 29:30: “So Jacob went into Rachel and he loved Rachel more than Leah and served Laban for another seven years.” Love is a very ambiguous word in English. When we say “Luv ya” we could be talking about a parental love, a friendship love, a love between siblings, a love within a
Proverbs 8:21: “That I may cause those who love me to inherit substances and I will fill their treasures.” “To give and not expect in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.” Oscar Wilde There is no way around it. To inherit substance means material wealth. Every modern translation will
