She prays to remember the love of God always.

Because this redemptive live saved him and built him up as a man of God. He prays to share this love with Adam, Michael, Isaac, and Alex. Missionary Gideon shared how he learned that Joseph’s redemptive love helped move the heart of Judah and redeem him ? who stood up to risk his life for Benjamin.

Special Message I for Fall Semester, 2010
LIVE BY THE SPIRIT
Galatians 5:16-26
Key Verse 5:16
The gospel means Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead. By faith in Jesus we received salvation. We have freedom from law. Does this mean that we may do whatever we like? No. Because of the sinful nature of our bodies, we are in danger of squandering the precious freedom we received through the gospel of Christ Jesus. Today's passage teaches us how to use our freedom and lead victorious lives. May God help us to learn the way to live by the Spirit and powerfully serve God’s work in this fall semester.
In conclusion, the secret of receiving the Spirit's power is to unblock our Spirit-pipes through repentant lives. Also through committing ourselves to the word of God and prayer, we can live by the Spirit. May God help us to live by the Spirit and produce much fruit to powerfully serve God’s work in this Fall Semester! May God bless each of us to live a victorious and successful life this Fall Semester! Amen!
