No, I tell you, but rather division. Jesus has come to divide us out of the world to carve out a people for Himself, redeemed by His Blood and trusting His Word. The world hates this Word, but for us it is life and salvation. We seek to follow Jesus Word in all things because we know Him who gave us His Word: we know He always seeks to bless us. Witness: What good news it is to know that the Maker of the universe, the Controller of the winds and waves, has come to us and encouraged us to doubt our doubts and trust our faith. We can be of good courage because Christ is on our side throughout the storms of life. Can you think of someone caught up in the storms of life who needs to hear some good news from Jesus? NEW SELECTION OF CARDS Ladies Aid has a great selection of cards available on the rack in the Narthex: Cards are.50/card or 12/$5.00.
