A Word to our Online Visitors:
In the Gospel of John chapter 4 verses 23 and 24 we find the words of the Lord telling us: “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
Now is the time to seek the Lord, do not delay. Seek him with all your heart. Every day is a new opportunity extended by God to seek Him. Do not pass it up … it might just be your last. He offers you forgiveness, salvation and eternal life regardless of your spiritual condition. What more can you ask? Don’t delay. He is waiting.
