Reckless: His Love... His Sacrifice

April 02, 2024 06:00 - 33 minutes - 37.9 MB

That could certainly be called reckless love and is probably the most positive example of recklessness. God’s love, on the other hand, is incredibly intentional and fully omniscient, and that’s what makes it so beautiful. ...
