A Further Journey

Today in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other nations around the globe, 40% of the adult population is now or soon will be 50+ in age.

What do you say?

The early followers of Jesus were not “holy [...]

WORDS

  WE RECENTLY completed Advent, celebrated by Christians as a season of ‘preparation,’ Jesus has come. Jesus is here now in our hearts. Jesus is coming again. In truth, not just Advent, but each year ‘prepares’ us for the year that is to follow. We keep building or rebuilding on past experiences, preparing for whatever [...]
