Video Excerpt:
John McGuire: I just like to give stories and anecdotes like that, smuggling the good news that we are all able to be redeemed. That God loves us, and it’s through Christ’s sacrifice that
We’re all redeemed.
Terry Modica: That’s something we could all keep in mind is yeah how can we how can we smuggle the good news you know it’s like we do need to look at the villains in our society and and realize that um you know they weren’t born to be bad guys you know they weren’t born to be huge sinners who are corrupting our society. Underneath it all is the person that God created, and if there’s any way we can draw that out of them. It’s the Holy Spirit who changes people’s minds, but Jesus uses us. We are the hands and feet, and voice of Jesus
to help people discover a different way.
