The Prince of Peace
The Prince of Peace By Billy Graham • December 17, 2016 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. —Proverbs 10:12 To hate, to discriminate against those who look different, who talk different, who have different national backgrounds, or who act differently from the dominant group, is a universal trait of human nature.
