the good life ::
Jesus made the point clear: stay connected to Him, and you will have no reason to fear. Jesus doesn’t mean that the instant you have faith fear simply vanishes or only good things happen in your life. In fact, the blessings that come with eternal life often have nothing to do with present or future circumstances; but they have everything to do with our connections to God and one another. That is my message to all of you. God came to earth wrapped in flesh, and then He reached His greatest acclaim through a torturous death. If this is all true, then we will find strength and beauty in places we never imagined. Abiding in Jesus the Liberator is the good life, regardless of the external circumstances.
an excerpt the Gospel of John from The Voice a new paraphrase version of the Bible, like The Message.
[I don't know much about The Voice...I found it today, apprarently, you can buy the New Testament now, but a free pdf download of the Gospel of John is on their website--out of curiousity I'm reading it now. If anyone knows anything about it, I'd love your thoughts...].
