    In the wake of September 11th, this is a challenge to remember that we’ve got some repenting to do for our sin, too.

    In recent days, from a number of sources, I have been given the proclamation of thanksgiving that Lincoln issued in 1863. (I’ve seen it in church newsletters and been sent it via email.)

Repentance means not only saying you’re sorry, it means you are going to genuinely change and mend your ways. John was preaching ...read more
