Compassion that never fails Because of the Lord's great love, we are not con- sumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new ev- ery morning; great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23). God's compassion and forgiveness is something that we as Christians and even non-Christians can depend on and for which we can be thankful. For without this compassion, we would all be lost. This is one of the greatest gifts that God could ever give us. Even when we think we are unforgivable, he still for- gives and shows us compas- sion. So don't let this world make you feel as if you are unforgivable or not worth saving. God has already forgiven us all and saved us through his son Jesus. And we can show others the way to him by showing compas- sion to them in their time of need and hurting. Everyone is welcome to all services. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center.

Main Street, Petersburg Phone: 812-809-4544 Sunday services are at 10 a.m. and youth service at 6 p.m. Most of us have seen the horrible pictures of people in slavery, held captive with heavy iron shackles and chains. They have no free will of their own, but are ruled by a cruel task master. Sin is like that. In this world, we live under a crush- ing yoke to the sin nature. It began when Adam relin- quished to Satan the author- ity that God had given him. There was only one way for the chains of slavery to be broken and the debt to be paid. Jesus knowingly and willingly offered Him- self. He paid the debt and bought our freedom. We no longer have to live in slavery to sin. Not only that, but we are given the distinct hon- or of helping to liberate oth- ers from this sin slavery that leads to death. Jesus came that we might have life, and life more abundantly. The choice is yours. "It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [com- pletely liberating us]; there- fore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]" (Galatians 5:1).
