The Pastor’s Desk Beloved, greetings to you with
grace and peace! We serve an awesome God; a God who shows unconditional love to
the lost and the broken. God loved the world so much that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have
everlasting life (John 3:16). It is important one knows, no
matter what you have done in life that
has brought guilt and shame, Christ loves you. The agape love of our God, is an
unconditional love for all people; therefore, I hope you will humble yourself
and seek the face of God and be liberated from your guilt and shame (II
Chronicles 7:14).
