Is this a test?
Dead to Sin in the Glory of God?
Or
What glory is it to God if we're dead IN sin?
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
(Ephesians 2:1)
Aaron - Oh - maybe it's not typo - maybe it's From Dead-in-sin to alive in the Glory of God? You've got me guessing. I didn't know there was a fellowship in Greenville. Is there a fellowship in Greenvile? I'm starting to get on my nerves : ) ... Brother I hope you bring the message to Greenville powerfully : ) see you Sunday at Palestine School - Sam

looking forward to hearing how it goes!
