Kaya lang …

Maraming mahihinang churchesMaraming namamatay

Napakaganda kung …

… the body of Christ may be built up … until we all reach unity in the faith… and in the knowledge of the Son

of God … and become mature

Napakaganda kung …

… attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ

… speaking the truth in love… the whole body … grows and builds itself up

in love… as each part does its work.

(Eph. 4:11-16)
