Who Are We?

Revelations 5:9 “With your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and every language and every people and every nation!” (NIV).

Remember!

Deuteronomy 25:19 “Therefore, when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies in the land he is giving you as a special possession, you must destroy the Amalekites and erase their memory from under heaven. Never forget this!” (emphasis added)

Do Not Forget!

Psalm 77:10-12 “And I said, “This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.” But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.”
