    The horrifying scenes of the chaotic events at the US Capitol. These disturbing scenes are reminiscent of the heart-breaking words of the prophet Isaiah “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

    I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some basic ideas and content that I employ in this message. My message is titled: “The New Person (Man or Woman) for the Future will worship the Lord.” Our Text today is Matthew 4:8-10: “8 Again, the ...read more
