Celebrate the Good News!
Don’t you love those words, “Good News”? I remember my early years as a Christian and how difficult it was for me to share God’s “Good News” to those around me. Sure, I did my best to be a reflection of Christ’s likeness in my words and deeds in everyday life, but I wasn’t what…
It’s Time for GOOD NEWS!
All it takes is watching a news network and we’ll hear about another devastating killing, a robbery, a disastrous storm, accidents involving the loss of life, and so much more.
