Give More Than Money Series

Contributed by Jack Allen on Jun 12, 2001

New Clothes/New Image

Contributed by Michael Trask on Dec 12, 2005

We sense that we’ve got an image problem. Like Adam and Eve before us, we try to fix it with clothing. But it can only be truly fixed with the garments of Salvation which our Lord provides through his Son Jesus

“I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.” Does this look all right?
