Being Made New

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/2co.5.17.NLT

The reality of life in Christ is amazing. Literally, I am becoming a new person. At some point, when this body dies, I even get a “made new” body that lasts forever.

So, my character is made new. My mind is made new. My body is made new. All of this is through faith in Jesus Christ. The ongoing renewal is led by the Holy Spirit and overseen by God the Father.

A Therapeutic Experience

Amidst the busyness of the summer months, one activity that stands out is the thoughtfully coordinated horse encounter, which is brought by Warm Beach Horsemanship team members one afternoon a week. This activity has ...
