I serve a risen Savior
He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He’s always near.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me...
“Unless education promotes character making, unless it helps men to be more moral, more just to their fellows, more law abiding, more patriotic and public spirited, it is not worth the trouble taken to furnish it.”

Why do we call Good Friday “good,” when it is such a dark and bleak event commemorating a day of suffering and death for Jesus? We remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
