Note from Gwen for April 2024

April 2nd, 2024
He is risen, indeed! What an incredible truth to have been especially reminded of this past weekend. And what an even more incredible reality to live in daily! The reality of our hope in Christ colors the entirety of our lives. Recently, I was thinking about the way it affects our current grief.

While still providing biblical answers to spiritual questions, . . .

Selected Notes of Appreciation from March 2024

April 2nd, 2024
From a questioner: Thank you, [Volunteer]! I appreciate you answering my question about salvation. The recommendations for my anxiety, depression, and paranoia are also appreciated. Because they contribute to doubts of salvation. Not to mention how there are Christians who contribute to the doubts by claiming that works are required for it — condemning people for drinking alcohol, playing games, watching movies, or other issues not pertaining to it.
