Being Reborn...

by Chris Magee, CLC Wholesale

A thief comes to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance. John 10:10.

The death of a ministry, any ministry, is a hard blow to take. But can God’s work ever truly be destroyed?

CLC Liberia’s story is initially the story of Good Friday, of death, the thought that CLC’s life there was over, extinquished by civil war and conflict. Jesus disciples, looking on His broken dead body must have thought, it’s over and it was until the rays of first light on the Easter day, the day of resurrection.

Available in April!

New Testament Wisdom for Everyone

by Tom Wright

ISBN: 9780281069378

A distillation of Tom Wright’s meditations on the wisdom of Jesus and the apostles, drawn from his popular New Testament for Everyone series. A helpful devotional resource, both for those who already own the ‘For Everyones’ and for those who may not yet have read them.

CLC Liberia, something that seemed dead and forgotten is reborn in hope. In every way, this is the story of the Gospel.

More than an idea, a place, it too cannot be contained. When all hope seems gone, it reappears in the form of the gospel of Christ. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance” — life, full, purposeful, complete — this is the story of Liberia. The devil thinks he has the victory, but resurrection is coming my friend, hold on because God’s work and Word cannot be stopped. It is a new day, a day of resurrection. Rejoice....
