1st John 3. 3. How great is the love of the Father is lavished on us that we should be called

Children of God. You're a child of God. Not a church person or a religionist, the creator of

heaven and earth, the power that brought order to our world that hangs the

stars in space and keeps the Earth and its orbit, that God

has considers you his child.

I've been talking to some folks that have been doing the faith groups, the small groups

the answers we would like to have.
