It's All About the Cross (7 of 7)

Galatians 6:11-18
How many of you guys remember the 1992 Presidential race between Bill Clinton and George Herbert Walker Bush? Anybody remember that? You know, there was a tag line, a campaign line that Bill Clinton used. It was his campaign strategist, James Carville, who came up with this line, and it really stuck, and it really got traction, and it really hurt President Bush.

There's a song I like by an artist named Clay Cross. It's called Saving the World.

But as far as I recall, I do believe it all comes down to a man dying on a Cross, saving the world, rising from the dead, doing what He said He would do. Loving everyone He saw. When it's said and done, it all comes down to a man dying on a Cross, saving the world." Tha ...
