If you do not know Christ Jesus as Lord as
Savior, this is a safe place to become acquainted
with Him.

• John 316-17
• For God so loved the world that He gave His only
  begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
  not perish but have everlasting life. 17For God
  did not send His Son into the world to condemn
  the world, but that the world through Him might
  be saved.

Responsive Reading
P However, we speak wisdom among those who are
mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor
of the rulers of this age, who are coming to
nothing. C But we speak the wisdom of God in a
mystery, the hidden wisdom which God
ordained before the ages for our glory,  P
which none of the rulers of this age knew for
had they known, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory. C But as it is
writtenEye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor
have entered into the heart of man the
things which God has prepared for those who
love Him. P But God has revealed them to us
through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches
all things, yes, the deep things of God. C For
what man knows the things of a man except the
spirit of the man which is in him? Even so
no one knows the things of God except the
Spirit of God.  ALL Now we have received, not
the spirit of the world, but the Spirit
who is from God, that we might know the things
that have been freely given to us by God.

• 11Then God said to him Because you have asked
  this thing, and have not asked long life for
  yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor
  have asked the life of your enemies, but have
  asked for yourself understanding to discern
  justice,

12behold, I have done according to your words
see, I have given you a wise and understanding
heart, so that there has not been anyone like you
before you, nor shall any like you arise after
you.  13And I have also given you what you have
not asked both riches and honor, so that there
shall not be anyone like you among the kings all
your days.  14So if you walk in My ways, to keep
My statutes and My commandments, as your father
David walked, then I will lengthen your days.
