For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. -Hebrews 4:12 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall fl ow rivers of living water. -- John 7:37-38 Continued To Page 18 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8
