Prayer and Action

Let love be genuine, abhor what is evil,

hold fast to what is good

Romans 12:9

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose

the bonds of wickedness, to undo the

straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed

go free, and to break every yoke?

Isaiah 58:6

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of

heaven, and whatever you bind on earth

shall be bound in heaven, and whatev-

er you loose on earth shall be loosed in

heaven.

Matthew 16:19
