Our deepest sympathies extended to the entire Tensen Family Faith Essentials: The last few weeks the sermons have focused on ”spiritual disciplines” like: the great commandment caring for souls, principles of worship, prayer on next Sunday and today “pondering and meditating on the Word through the Holy Spirit. Continue to dwell on God’s Word. It is so enriching. Comfort, Comfort My People: Let us continually encourage one another to pray and to express Christ’s love, particularly to the Bomhof family, the Tensen family and to all who need God’s precious nearness in pain, sorrow, persecution, migration and darkness. How precious is the Lord in all His ways. J.S.H.
