A new section of multi-lane interstate is being built. But while it is under construction there is a bumpy and temporary pathway around to the other side. Only one group of people got to use that bumpy, “under construction” path. That’s what the Old Law was like. When Jesus died, He tore down the “under construction” sign permanently, got rid of that old bumpy old path, and He opened up a beautiful new stretch of interstate available to everyone. –Brad Harrub Think, March 2012, page 9

Despite technological advancements, hate remains the most lethal of all weapons of mass destruction. Yet greater than all the hatred stockpiled in human hearts throughout the world is the love of God that radiates in His people. It is important to fight the good fight, but we must fight the good fight right! With hearts of peace, may we press the battle to protect the purity of the gospel, preserve the unity of the church, and promote the reign of love throughout the world. –Aubrey Johnson —Spiritual Patriots, page 124 (emphasis in original)

February is so short. Even this year, with that extra day, it feels like it’s only 29 days long or something. I’ve always wondered what February did to the calendar makers that caused them to dis this month. Oh well, maybe I’m the only one who wonders those sorts of things. This month, we’ve got some great links for you, a two-video mid-post break, and our traditional closing song (no, former Sonshine Singers, it’s not “God’s Family”). —————————- First, we’ll give you five great links. 1.
