A Match Made in Heaven to Rescue People from Hell
God gave two churches more than they could have ever asked or imagined. “But as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1Cor. 2:9). Now this Church would be a beacon for the Gospel encouraged by the glory of God....

But, we cannot expect that the concepts or even some of the terms it uses will be understood by someone who wasn't raised with it. More and more, America's generations are becoming those people.
