    During the crucifixion a man who was a certified sinner asked Jesus for forgiveness. Forgiveness was freely given and he died with no good works to his name. This is grace in action.

    From Words To Actions

    It is one thing for Jesus to say that he loves his disciples, but he puts these words into action when he washes their feet. At the same time, Jesus demonstrates to us that love needs to go beyond words and is seen in service.

I suspect that the same can be said about the songs and stations to which you listen. Love is a BIG force in our lives, yet as one song suggests, “There’s just too ...read more
