Sure Hope Gazette

Are You Hurting? Meet Kegan. Again, I don't have the words to speak for this dear young man. Even if you aren't a homosexual, watch ad listen to this incredible testimony. I believe that Kegan's story would not only encourage and offer Sure Hope to those hurting and struggling, but meeting wonderful people like Kegan for those of us who are Christ followers, will stir your heart to reach out in love to all people. I know how judgemental and critical some Christians an be toward non-believers, even shunning  them.

My right lobe, never shuts down, but the left…well, all I can say is, I hope that makes some sense.

In light of the recent topic of Heaven and Hell being discussed among Christians as you can see in the post below, we want to post a well written article from Pastor Mark Driscoll, here.   Contrary, to what some are implying, there are clear answers on Heaven and Hell as they pertain to the Christian Bible. If we want answers, we just need to read God's Inspired Word and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us. Yes, there may still be some unanswered questions, after all God is God - and we aren't. Whatever God wants us to know, is in His Word and is taught by His Holy Spirit! We can have rest, peace, assurance and security!
