Peace in Jesus

In my last article I wrote about having true freedom in Christ over the bondage of sin. What does that true freedom look like? Freedom in Christ can give us peace in difficult times. Each day things are getting more difficult with prices for gas at an all-time high, supply chain issues causing empty shelves at the grocery stores, and what is available costs more each time we go to the store.

Jehovah’s Witnesses continue ministry in prisons without sending in ministers

COVID-19 shut down access to most U.S. prisons, including the Arizona State Prison Complex – Yuma, where Shannon Gunderman volunteered with a group of Jehovah’s Witness ministers. Without warning, inmates were cut off from a robust Bible education program that included weekly Bible-based discourses, audience discussions, individual Bible studies, and video presentations. Within weeks, Jehovah’s Witness volunteer ministers visited the prison facility on a weekly basis conducting small group meetings for worship within each prison unit, and occasionally baptizing someone into the faith. When the prison facility went into lockdown in March 2020, Gunderman was determined to continue providing spiritual…
