Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones....But God!

We need to remember that no one, no matter how scary, can destroy the church.  No one can destroy Christianity.  Isn't history loaded with groups and individuals who have tried to stop the Gospel from spreading around the globe.  Don't be afraid.  Don't get caught up in all the hype and scary looking things.  We win.  The church is not a building that someone can put an end to.  We, The Followers of Christ, are the Church.  Our very bodies are The Temple.  Hang in there and watch in wonder what the Lord is doing around the Globe.  God is Sovereign and is not twiddling his thumbs and saying..."I never saw that one coming!"  He, God, of course saw it coming, all of it, and sent us a Savior, His name is Jesus Christ, and it is FINISHED!

Read the verses below and be encouraged from His Word.....
