OUR CHALLENGE

Let us remember the messages drawn from the Pulpit theme for the last two months (May-June 2016):

Thus says the LORD,

                                    Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,

                                    Let not the mighty man glory in his might,

                                    Not let the rich man glory in his riches.

 

                                    But let him who glories, glory in this,

                                    That he understands and knows me,

                                    That I am the LORD exercising lovingkindness,

                                    Judgment and righteousness.

                                    For in these I delight, says the LORD,

                                    Says the LORD.                                              Jeremiah 9:23-24
