Reflecting on the elder's exhortation Brother Sam gave on Saturday evening, 11-19-22, Brother Singh reminded us, "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD, men depart from evil" (v.6) Mercy is not theoretical; it is an act and a response!

We need someone aggravating us to show mercy. Similarly, we need inconvenient demands from someone for help. In this manner, God forces us out of our comfort zone to serve Him. He allows negative situations to enter our lives so that we can learn to respond appropriately.
