Grace Point! January 2015 | Página 3

Hello to all readers! First, I want to thank you for clicking on the link that brought you to this magazine. We will be sharing various articles with you from guest contributors that will vary from month to month, regular features from guest writers, as well as regular features by us as the publishers. Notes from Rebecca We have designed this magazine to be different than typical online magazines. First of all, as you can see, it flips like a real magazine. It’s not a website with a lot of links that a person must subscribe to to read the whole thing. Also, it is set up on a simple premise: short, straightforward articles that have a message. We have no well-known Christian celebrity interviews. Instead, we have articles by ‘common, everyday folk’ who have a story to tell, all for the glory of God. As of this printing, there are already more articles coming together for the February issue. Each issue will come out on the 8th of each month, so look out for it! All pages will have links to the websites they represent; however, on some social networks, these links will not be active. This is something beyond my control. So, inside the back cover, I have added a page entitled “Links & Credits” that has a complete list of all links in the magazine that can be copied and pasted into your browser. The purpose of this magazine is for help, hope and encouragement toward our fellow man. It is about promoting Godly endeavors and Godly results. It is not about judgment, or whether our beliefs are the same or not. The adversary is about division and subtraction; God is about multiplication and addition. We are our brother’s keeper! Operating in the promise that God made to Abram in Genesis, in this issue there are four pages dedicated to artisans in Israel who make beautifully handmade items that are available for purchase. And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. Genesis 12:2-3 Our prayer is that there will be a blessing for each reader among these pages. God bless each and every one! Shalom.
