    The cancel culture has swept our nation... and destroyed lives, careers and futures. But the actions of those of the cancel culture are as old as history. They cancelled Abel, and the prophets... and they even cancelled Jesus. Or at least they thought they had.

    based on 1 rating
     | 436 views

    The Heart of Christmas: Peace proclaims that true, lasting peace is not found in circumstances but is announced at the manger, accomplished at the cross, and displayed through God’s reconciled people who live as peacemakers in a broken world through faith in Jesus Christ.
