unbelievers? Today’s message contains some hard truths.

From all of us here at GOGF to all of our faithful listeners,

 and partners who stand with us in prayer and financial

 support, we send best wishes for a blessed

holiday, and may you experience the true joy of the

 season. Merry Christmas!
