Getting together with other Christians in Jesus’ name is one of the best things I get to do. Tonight we hosted our “New Christians” dinner and handed out Bibles with their names and date of “spiritual” birth. They come from all walks of life. Pam is a daughter of one of our members. She was [...]

I sometimes wonder what the 99 sheep did while the Shepherd went out to find the one that was lost. Did they even notice the Shepherds absence? Did they care?
