Dan and I at the Isle of Palms a few years ago. Peace like a river requires love like an ocean. Being a peacemaker automatically calls us to love God and to love others.

I have heard many sermons on Calvary. We have numerous songs on Calvary in our playlist on Faith Music Radio. To be honest, I am
