Newspaper
The Press and Standard began publication in 1877 as a weekly newspaper owned by the W.W. Smoak family. The newspaper serves Walterboro in Colleton County, a rural coastal county located between Charleston County and Beaufort County. Interstate 95, connecting Maine to Florida, divides Colleton County into eastern and western portions. The eastern portion contains most of Walterboro, the largest community in the county and a large part of the Ashepoo, Combahee and South Edisto rivers, which form the ACE Basin, one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the east coast of the United States. West of I-95, Colleton County is more rural, with thousands of undisturbed acres of land. Source

Redemption

| Walterboro Live Verified
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. Ephesians 1:7-8 We’ve all made a mess of life. If your life is like mine, the life that you have enjoyed is punctuated with failures and regrets. I’ve made my share of mistakes, done plenty of wrong, and hurt some people that should have been treated better. Worst of all, I have not treated God like God. When we resist God, that is what the Bible calls sin.

Being Born Again

|
By Zane Brown
| Walterboro Live Verified
Genuine Gospel salvation is really a new birth. Jesus said that in John 3:3. Salvation is not acknowledgement of a fact nor is it simply intellectual assent. It is not a commitment to try harder to do better and it is not simple belief. Genuine Gospel salvation is the total surrender of our entire being to the lordship of Jesus. He becomes lord over our minds, wills, and emotions. That salvation moment is just the beginning.
