God Is Jealous
Today we’ll talk about an aspect of God that I suspect most people don’t consider when they think about God. This is strange because the Bible clearly points out this trait over 20 times in the pages of scripture.

It’s a time for chocolate and card companies to reap huge rewards as we focus on the significant others in our lives.
