The beginning of the new year means it's time to look back and rehearse God's blessings, and there are many. It's also time to refocus on the task ahead, for much remains to be done. As a member of ICR's larger family, please rejoice and dream together with us as you read this short summary.

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God" (Hebrews 6:1).

". . . God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (I Timothy 2:3-4).

The verses preceding our text encourage believers to be in prayer "for all men" (v.1), including "all that are in authority" (v.2), that our own lives might be "quiet and peaceable," as well as for their salvation.

Especially during this time of year we remember with eternal thankfulness that God, the Creator, loved His fallen creation so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on its, (on our behalf,) so that we could be reconciled to Him. He continues to give us blessings of His grace, and eternity with Him is on the horizon. Meanwhile, we continue to serve Him as He leads.

Skeptics have often pointed out that no archaeological evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ has been discovered. And they are correct, at least perhaps up until the present. A recent incredible discovery may put to rest that criticism.
