Aging Well
Aging happens.Whether you are the one aging or you are the child of an aging parent, there is a lot to consider.

Justice
Justice deeply matters to God. It matters so much to God’s heart that Jesus experiences the ultimate injustice, dying a criminal’s death on a cross to right the wrongs of every woman, man, and child for all time. This is grace. The gospel is God’s justice to the world.
And when we experience God’s justice through a faith relationship with Jesus Christ, we are sent to bring God’s justice into the lives of our family, friends, neighbors, and communities.We have freely received justice.We freely give justice.
