ness which seeks to share these blessings with others. May He
make of us a city set on a hill. May we truly be the God-intended
light of the world and salt of the earth. May God fill our hearts
with courage to proclaim the Word of truth with boldness and
power. The time is short. The world’s shadows are lengthening.
The apostle says: “So much the more so as ye see the Day ap-
proaching.” With our eyes fixed on Christ’s coming, with our
hearts relying altogether on His grace, and with our whole being
dedicated to His cause, let us joyfully and aggressively accept the
greatest challenge in the history of our church. Amen. In Jesus’

name. Amen.
