     | 8,179 views

    God’s love shown to us in Christ is all we need to soothe our guilty conscience and in turn to find the freedom to forgive others.

    The Fab Four sang about it. In fact their words and music are immortalized on Oldies radio. And rightly so. The Beatles seemed to be on to something. “All you need is love,” they sang. And that appeared to be the right message for a hurt and frightened world. Love is all you need. It’s all ...read more

If you got stopped by a state trooper and when he asked if you had an I.D. You replied, "’Bout what?" You might be a redneck. 2. If you’ve ever carried a ...read more
