What is Goodwill?

Today a Sunday school student made a mistake reciting a verse from Luke 2 in the Christmas program. It made me think a little more about the implications of the goodwill of God in sending His Son. The erring lad quoth thus:

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, and [God will be towards men].

It wasn’t kosher, but it was good.

Merry Christmas!

Thomas Newberry on True Ministry

Am enjoying the words of acclaimed commentator Thomas Newberry on true Christian shepherding and ministry. I appreciated them almost as much as I have his study Bible.

“True ministry is not the setting forth of our own thoughts, nor the opinions of others, but receiving of the fullness of Christ and giving it out to others.”
