On the Side| Brad Hicks

My office is next to the old vault, where decades of newspaper copies are bound and stored.  

If you ever wondered whether the state of the world is dire and its future grim, you need only open the pages of those old papers. There, you will discover headlines that could be used today. Our technology and methodology have changed, and so have most of the names, but in terms of the world’s concerns, let’s just say a century has had little impact. 

Pick an issue to haggle over this week, and try to convince yourself you have the solution. Ultimately, you will realize the only resolution will have to come from a savior. Fortunately for us, He is risen – and He persists greater. Happy Easter.
