A Dream Come True

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 22, 2000

Like Simeon we need to realize that if all we had was Jesus Christ, that would be enough; with Jesus, our life is complete and we can be content.

In a world gone mad with sin and depravity, what should the true church of Jesus Christ be doing? We should not fear what man may do, we should bend the truth of God's Word, and we should not bow before the "gods" of political correctness.

James May We live in a world where the words of the prophet Isaiah are ringing loud and long, and the warnings of what will come in these last days are coming to pass with alarming speed.
