We Are the Body of Christ
This reflection builds upon our previous article, “we are God’s family.” You may need to review it in case you missed it. As we go through Lent this year, let’s remember that God’s only intention, by sending His only begotten Son, still is to draw us back to Himself. What we talk about in this […]

Jesus Christ, The Source Of Life
