this is a really short one, but a very important message for Jesus followers to hear - the significance of the fact that the message Jesus brought to the world was something that He referred to as "good news" and the question each one of us should be asking about the message we are speaking and living out... to move on to the authority of lived out Love, click here
continuing the easy access of the psalms - here are the next group of psalms i have walked or am walking through - the idea was always to grab a thought or two from each psalm and comment and hope that others would jump in and do the same so please feel free to add your comments on any of the psalms i have looked at so far - be great to get your thoughts, [...]
