The unique, supernatural nature of our fellowship shines forth when everyone joins in for effective Gospel ministry.

O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my guide.

As Christian parents, we don't set out to intentionally create friction with our children. Yet, in the heat of the moment, words can inflict all kinds of damage.
