Spring has arrived, and, with its sunshine and
warmer days, the announcements of the many Gospel Meetings and
other spiritual activities being planned and conducted by the
congregations of the Lord's church in our area truly bring gladness
to our hearts. The source of our happiness is Hope! Let us live
it.
The wickedness of the world from the pitiful fate
of Terri Schiavo in Florida, to the war-torn nations of Iraq and
Afghanistan, to the charges of horrific child molestations and
murders from coast to coast in our own country cannot destroy
our hope in Christ. We rejoice in the power of the gospel of Christ
to give hope to all who will receive it! Let us preach it.
We have devoted a large part of this issue of
the paper to honor the life of Bob Kessinger. We thank all who
wrote of his influence upon their lives.
Our subscription numbers continue to hold steady.
Last month our circulation was 2,525 copies. We are very thankful
for all who continue to renew their subscriptions. Please continue
to show the paper to others and to encourage them to subscribe.
Please continue to pray for us. Albert.
