Nothing Truly Good Can Die

SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 15:13 (NIV) If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. REFRAIN Nothing truly good can die.

Connected Not Correct

SCRIPTURE Colossians 3:4 (NIV) When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. REFRAIN I am connected, and that is enough. QUOTE Henri Nouwen, from Moving from Solitude to Community to Ministry "Community is not loneliness grabbing onto loneliness: 'I'm so lonely, and you're so lonely.' It's solitude grabbing onto solitude: 'I am the beloved; you are the beloved; together we can build a home.'" ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
