“Our Community Now and in God’s Future”

An old saying goes, “Well begun is half done.”  In March passages from 1 John show us the key to beginning (and continuing) well: love.  We love one another because God first loved us.  The Holy Spirit continues to speak to us in April and May through the apostle John’s writings in Revelation.  It was God’s love that sent Jesus to the cross.  That same love creates a new heaven and earth for our benefit.  What a great future!  What an opportunity to show love now!
