The Palm Springs Drive church of Christ in Altamonte Springs, Florida, recently launched a new website in its continuing effort to reach out to those in spiritual need with the healing message of Jesus Christ. Though such a project involves a great deal of work, one of the disciples of Jesus was overheard to remark about the undertaking, "It is worth the time and expense for there is no worthier cause under the sun than evangelizing the world for our Lord."

Many Christians, whether recently added to the church or a member for many years, started this year of 2011 resolved to read completely through the Bible before the end of the year. They pledged not only to read through the text but to absorb as much of its meaning as possible by reading rather than studying deeply, and putting what they understand into daily practice. Others, learning of their commitment, have joined in even though they have a bit of catching up to do.

The very best way to assure oneself of spending eternity in peaceful bliss with the Heavenly Father is to focus upon His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul put it this way: "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set you mind on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:1, 2) Focusing upon Him causes one to live like Him. It is a daily process, which Paul described saying "...we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3:18).
