For everyone for all time

Speak only the truth
self-serving 'selective truth'
unsettles, enslaves

There's a great diff'rence
Knowing and recognizing
Who Jesus Christ is.
Likewise, a diff'rence
Mere talking about Jesus
Talking to Jesus.
We need to do both
To be an evangelized

All-inclusive way to God
All embraced in love

Buried, discovered; sought, found.
Life Jesus offers.

Eternal consequences
Discern with Jesus

Demands beyond resources
Trust God's Providence

Giving opportunities
So we grow in Him

Seed is ever good
Sower's ever generous.
