A New Way For The New Year Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Dec 30, 2021

It is time to stop clinging to the past. But most importantly, stop clinging to the historical Christ. He has ascended, and you have ascended with Him. Therefore, embrace the living Christ! Then you will be able to embrace the future, whatever it is. Christ is big enough. He can handle it!
