Un messaggio a voi dal fratello Davi P. Silva come i nuovi approcci anno.
Cari fratelli e sorelle nel mondo,
Affettuosi saluti cristiani con le seguenti parole ispirate: “conoscendo il tempo, perchè è ormai ora che ci svegliamo dal sonno, poichè la salvezza ci è ora più vicina di quando credemmo. La notte è avanzata e il giorno è vicino; gettiamo dunque via le opera delle tenebre e indossiamo le armi della luce… Ma rivestitevi del Signor Gesù Cristo e non abbiate cura della carne per soddisfare le sue concupiscenze.” (Romani 13:11, 12, 14).
