“Keep On Shining”

September 28, 2025: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard.  Amen. Lordy – what a gospel for our time.  It practically preaches itself – but don’t get too excited… you are not that lucky. Now, you may have thought when the gospel first opened that you were getting a repeat of last…
