    The Greatest Gift Of All Is For Everyone

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jan 2, 2016

    God wants everyone to see and share his wisdom. Sometimes we can’t see that Christ came for everyone and can use everyone. We need to share our gifts and burdens just like Christ shared himself with everyone-both Jews and Gentiles.

Children will be going back to school, people will be going back to work, family and friends will be going home (if they haven’t gone home already), and we will be ...read more
