Romans 1:15<\/a>). I hope and pray you\u2019re all learning and applying what you\u2019ve been sitting through, so that you may be an impact for Christ at school!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
This was brought to my attention earlier today, and I forgot to give you guys the last section of verses to commit to memory. The verses (all of them) are below. I hope all of us (youth and staff) will be diligent in keeping the Word close in our heads and hearts, knowing where Scripture speaks of the Gospel at a moment\u2019s notice, but that it would also remind you of the grace God has truly given each and every one of us who have believed in His Son who died for our sins and has subverted God\u2019s wrath. I hope our Triune God is comforting you with these precious truths. I love you all and hope to see you all soon!<\/p>\n
