Practicing Kindness: Abundant Love
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 14, 2021

Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Restoring Innocence

In Revelation 5 the Lord is pictured as a Lamb that appeared to have been slain. It is a picture of how humanity has been continually trying to destroy innocence. This is because He is Innocence itself. In our world of racial conflict and pain, imagine how better things would be if we were all more innocent. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PA
