OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Missing the Christ of Christmas
A familiar decoration at Christmas is the Nativity Scene. Some people adorn their homes with small statues or their yards with large, illumined figures of the Nativity. We know the characters all too well.
COMMENTARY: Hiding info
We here, at the One Feather, are used to hearing authorities tell us that they limit the release of information for the good of the community, or as parents used to tell children, “for your own good.”
SPEAKING OF FAITH: A Salvation Experience
Salvation causes a change in the newly born-again believer. Not only is there an outward change, but there is also an inward change. We become a NEW creature in Christ.
