keep you blameless and holy before the

Father when He (Jesus) returns for His

followers.”

obeying His Word

Remember power should be cared for like

an egg...hold too tight (control) we crush it;

hold too loose we drop it; hold

carefully/gently we keep power safe

in peace with everyone –MYOB! (v9)
