CBCInTheKnow – March 2024

“Blessed is the person that understands his spiritual brokenness and inability to remedy it and grieves for his sin. He craves fellowship with Christ, shows grace to others, puts others first, keeps himself free of things that grieve God, and values relationships over being right. This lifestyle may confuse some, offend others, and could potentially result in criticism or other forms of persecution. Yet, this person has true joy!” – (The Beattitudes summarized, Matt. 5:1-12).
