Beauty is a subject of much concern to most individuals. In the name of beauty people are willing to undergo unqualified torture. The world has set for us standards of beauty: a thin figure, fair skin, etc. But is beauty all about looks? In my opinion, looks should take about 5%, whilst inner values and principles make up the remaining 95%.
As God’s creation, let us ignore the standards the world imposes on us and see ourselves as the beautiful creatures God made us to be . “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.” Prov. 31:30

This book has always been a hot commodity.
People have been jailed for reading it and men have been burned for translating it. In countries scared of its influence, it has been burned and banned.

The Bible has been ridiculed and denounced as no other book has. The critics have attacked its factual accuracy, and the activities of the characters and nations recorded in it have been laughed off as ‘mythical’. But under the fierce glare of scientific enquiry and archeological research, its assertion has been authenticated as facts, not fallacies. Its critics have withdrawn in embarrassment to regroup. The book was and is RIGHT. The critics are WRONG.

Agape love means feeling and expressing pure unlimited and unconditional love for every human being with no exceptions.
This does not mean you need to admire each person or to weaken legal penalties for crimes. It does mean that if your mother were murdered, you should try to eliminate the poisons of hatred and revenge. While a murderer is being properly punished and prevented from a criminal life, agape love allows you to pray for his conversion and his soul.
For our single word “love”, the ancient Greeks used several words in an effort to clarify love’s various shades of meaning. They distinguished, for example, between the romantic love shared by husband and wife, and the “brotherly love” that exists among friends.
            But the highest kind of love gained expression for the ancient Greeks in the term agape. Agape love is not directed toward a single person or small group of friends, but towards all humanity, even all of creation. Agape love is not based on how we are treated by others. Rather, it is unconditional and unlimited in its expression. It is the kind of love in which the religions of the world may find a basis of unity.
