Seeing as we are about to enter a that brings you joy and peace.
New Year, let's look at the word,
’NEW." What a great word. New
clothes, new cars, new toys, new
homes and yes it's exciting to get
something new especially if it's what
you've been really wanting.
(2 Cor 5:17 KJV) "Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new crea-
ture: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new."
Isn't that neat that when you receive
Jesus into your heart you become a
"NEW CREATURE." If you really get
Jesus in your heart you will want to
be in church and read the bible and
get rid of sinful habits. All things will
become NEW. (Isa 42:9 KJV) "Be-
hold, the former things are come to
pass, and new things do I declare:
before they spring forth I tell you of
them." Wouldn't you like to hear some
new things from the Lord. Get close
enough to him for him to share with
you. (Jer 33:3 KJV) "Call unto me, and
I will answer thee, and show thee
great and mighty things, which thou
knowest not."
(Psa 40:3 KJV) "And he hath put a
new song in my mouth, even praise
