Glorify God With One Voice

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-Romans 15:5-6

We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God. We trust the Scripture focus for May will encourage and challenge you to commit God’s Word to memory that you might be changed and equipped by it.
