Old-school news, just in time
by Kevin Burton The cares of this world are tangible, loud and insistent. With them can come a downward tug, a sapping of energy. We know from experience that lurking where we can’t see them, around those corners in time, are surprises, ambushes of all sizes and shapes. So what a blessing …

by Kevin Burton If you know the way, show the way. This admonition for Christians to share the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, has been said many times and in many ways. It’s amazing and scandalous that we – I include myself in this – don’t speak up …
