1 JOHN 4:8 GWN 8 The person who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love. Wouldn’t it be nice to live where every one loved and was loved with a perfect love? A place where there was no selfishness, where everyone put the interests of others before their own interests. The good news

PSALM 96:1 NIV 1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. No doubt God, who makes every snowflake different, enjoys new things. Five times Scripture tells us to sing to the Lord a new song. You, with God’s help, can sing a song to the Lord that’s never
