JUNE NEWSLETTER NOTES - Serotinous Souls

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12

“God shall hear, and afflict them, even He that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, there- fore they fear not God.”>Psalm 55:19

 Life may be full of surprises, but life overflows with changes. Actually, life is so full of changes that it creates a surplus which cannot be contained and so it spills over and creates new spaces of expanded existence.
