What Revelations Has To Say To The U.s. Church Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 14, 2020

Don’t Worry… Be Happy!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Several years ago the #1 song on the pop charts was titled: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

It was an upbeat song with an upbeat message. While there was no theological message intended in the song, I think we Christians could take a lesson from the concept it employs. This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more
