From Your Pastor, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which

have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for 1 Corinthians 2:9 those who love Him.”

The Lord has a gracious heart that long to lavish His love on all who love Him. His lavishness exceeds our cognitive borders…what is visible or audible. It is in the realm of God’s innate love that He desires that each of us would know Him. “How great the Father’s love for us! How vast beyond all measure!” Most of us reading this article already know of God’s great love…Yet there are countless numbers of your friends and coworkers who have no clue of His love because they do not have a relationship with Christ. Our task, our assignment, is to tell them of His love…to introduce them to Christ…so that they can grow to know Him more! Christ holds the keys to a full and meaningful Life! Your Pastor and Friend, Clark

Grits and God’s Word Men, set your alarms and join the others for breakfast and Bible study, prayer and more! Every Tuesday morning at 6:30 AM
