How can we glorify God?
Not in being saved, for in that God

they say truly.
There are beautiful lives outside OF
the church. There are those who have
no thought of honoring Christ who do
deeds of love and mercy. Though they
may not acknowledge Him. they are
following the principles He taught.
There sis no philanthropic thought
that He did not teach. Hence every act
