I love the way Paul opens and closes his letters to the churches in the New Testament.

Whether it's interviewing a part of our listening family during Share-A-Thon, talking to someone about an event that is coming up, or interviewing an author about a recent book release, I enjoy asking questions that make people think.
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars..." (Matthew 24:6a). Does it feel to you like this first is happening right before our eyes? If so, would you believe me if I told you that's a good thing? Let's finish out the verse...
