Christ Followers do not say goodbye…  The Joy of the Lord means we WILL have eternity for a reunion with each other, and more importantly, with the Lord  You are to be both blessed and a blessing            Your life belongs to God            He blesses you so you can become a “blesser”  God’s great | 2 Corinthians

We are under both God’s commandments and liberty We are free in Christ to serve Him, others, and God’s Kingdom No Compromise -in either God’s commands… -or your freedom to reach out to others that are living                                                outside of   God’s will. -Silence is not golden… -and ignoring sin is deadly to all. | Psalm | Series: Freedom in Christ

Christ freed you and me from the penalty sin…. And the power of sin.

This year we celebrate 243 as a free people. You are a citizen…not a subject of our country. You are a citizen of heaven, too.

The Bible is our source for knowing God. Vacation Bible School is usually the first source for kids to learn about God. So what did you learn? God loves you…NO MATTER WHAT… -You don’t have to “be better” on your own… or act religious… or even turn over a new leaf… But you and I | Romans
