has the gospel touched me?
“If your gospel isn’t touching others, it hasn’t touched you.” (Curry R. Blake) What is my gospel (message of good news to the world)? If God’s forgiveness does not make me forgiving, have I really accepted God’s forgiveness? If God’s mercy does not make me merciful, have I really appreciated God’s mercy? If God’s generosity…
downtown Ajax churches
