A Supernatural
BIRTH
by Karen Parks
Did you know that if you are a believer, if you have prayed
asking God to forgive you of your sins and asked Jesus to be
your Lord and Savior, on the inside you are perfect. I’m not
talking about your physical insides, I’m talking about your
spirit. As Pastor Hagee has taught us, we are triune beings:
spirit, soul and body. We are spirit beings, with a soul and
we have a physical body, an earth suit. Once you pray asking
Jesus to be your Savior, you are born again. Remember
when Nicodemus came to talk to Jesus in John 3? Jesus told
him, “unless one is born of water (physically) and the Spirit
(spiritually) he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” In John
1:12-13 it says this, “But as many as received Him, to them
He gave the right to become children of God, to those who
believe in His name: who were born not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Did you
get that? Praying that prayer caused a supernatural rebirth
of your spirit. You were born OF GOD! Let that sink in for
a minute. Just like being born physically, we have DNA and
characteristics of our flesh and blood parents, we who have
been born of God have characteristics and the spiritual
DNA of our Father God! At that moment His Spirit came to
live inside you. We read in John 15:26 who the Holy Spirit
is: Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor,
Strengthener, Standby. In John 16 we can read a further job
description of what the Holy Spirit does, one of which is
guiding us into all truth. God’s Spirit is living inside you!
He’s there to help you, to intercede for you, to comfort
you, to be your advocate to the Father, to strengthen you
when you are weak, and be your standby when you need
that extra umph! You’re not just here on earth trying to do
what’s right or come up with a good plan for success in your
own strength. No! His Spirit lives in you. The Apostle Paul
said we are to be lead by the Holy Spirit. So quit trying to
do it on your own. Yield to God’s Spirit inside you and let
Him guide you into your destiny.

When a dream,
becomes a
nightmare
D
espite the fact that I had planned for a perfect marriage, my dreams
turned into a nightmare. After five years of living together with two
kids, we realized that our home life was total chaos. Our house was
not a home. Instead of love and laughter, it was filled with domestic violence,
alcoholism and infidelity…just in time to find out we were expecting our third
child.
As a mother, I had the responsibility to provide the best for my children; but my
relationship with my husband was not as perfect as I had planned. I experienced
bitterness, pain, depression and a lot of sadness. We were attending a local
church, but never found the help we truly needed. We knew about God, but we
didn’t know Him. There were times when I completely lost hope. Then, one day
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and I started to write a new vision
for my marriage (as found in Habakkuk 2-3). My husband had left me. But I
continued to pray, believing that my marriage could be fixed.
My husband finally returned home and we started over from ground zero. We
asked each other for forgiveness and started following God’s commandments as
a married couple, committing ourselves to God for the rest of our lives. God has
restored our relationship completely and replaced our bitterness with love. He
has relieved us of the pain of our past and made us new again in Him.
Today we are parents of seven children, completely blessed beyond measure. I
am not sure what my life would be like without my husband, and I think God
for restoring our home to where it should be as a covenant bond through Christ
Jesus.
There is nothing that God cannot do! No problem is too big or small!

M
y wife, CJ, and I are truly blessed to serve at
Cornerstone Church. Many of our blessings have
come through the Government of Twelve Small
Group Bible Study which has been a part of my life since
I was 17. My parents were Home Ministry leaders on the
south side of San Antonio, and I grew up in our Friday
night Bible Study. Even though I attended college out of
state and was stationed overseas, Cornerstone has always
been my home church. CJ and I met overseas; I was in
the Army and she was in the Air Force. We were married
in 1987 at Fort Sam Houston’s Gift Chapel and became
Cornerstone members that same year, joining a cell group
in our neighborhood.
After being gone for so long, we were made to feel right
at home. In 1989, we moved into my parent’s home and
attended the school of leadership. Afterwards, we inherited
my mom and dad’s Small Group Bible Study! People I had
known for years were still there; teenagers had grown up
and had families of their own. It was as if we had never
missed a beat.
God was evident in that little Bible Study in our home,
but we were still a military family, and a few years later we
were transferred to Germany. We found ourselves on a base
without a non-denominational, Spirit-filled service and no
Bible studies, but we did find Spirit-filled believers in our
housing units and began meeting in our home with just four
families. Word got out and we soon had over ten families.
We wrote back to Cornerstone, asking for advice and
materials. In one year, we saw God open three more Bible
Study groups on three different nights so that everyone
could attend. Our retirement in 1997 brought us back to
San Antonio and our Cornerstone family. CJ began working
in Adult Ministries as the department secretary and we
continued to volunteer as facilitators for the SAVIOR class
(as well as every ministry our children were involved in and
Small Group Bible Study).
I was ordained here at Cornerstone in 2007 and am serving
as the Director of Pastoral Ministries. We are still involved
with the SAVIOR and The Crossing Programs and are now
leading the Tribe of Gad.
We have a Bible Study Group in our home, a direct
reflection of the Tribe of GAD as a whole: very diverse. We
have families with children of all ages, singles and seniors.
Yes, we study the Word of God, but we are about lasting
relationships and finding places for all of us to minister.
Many of our Bible Study members are actively involved
as volunteers in other ministries throughout Cornerstone.
Cell Groups remind me so much of how the Church first
started. Acts 2:42 gives us a clear description of what a cell
group should be like, “And they continued steadfastly in the
apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread,
and in prayers.”
Cornerstone has never been a “big” church to us because
of the Small Group Bible Study. We were made to feel
welcome in small fellowships with people of like faith. We
have grown under the teachings of Pastor Hagee, and have
flourished with people who love the Lord in our homes with
a Bible in one hand and fried chicken in the other. Small
Group Bible Study members visit each other in the hospital,
share our victories and stand side-by-side through tough
times. In a Small Group Bible Study, everyone ministers to
one another; we learn each other’s needs so we can strive
to meet them. We are a FAMILY. If you are not currently
a part of a Small Group Bible Study, we would love to have
you join us.

Prayers
Patient
by Dr. Jerry Eshleman
- Superintendent of Cornerstone Christian Schools
I
f you have ever driven with small children for any real
distance you no doubt have heard those four dreaded words,
“Are we there yet?” They are asked over and over and over
again. We may start the trip by responding with something like,
“No sweetie, not yet.” As the same question keeps coming it then
moves to a response such as, “No we’re not there yet. You’ll know
when we get there.” The odometer rolls over a little more and
your responses end up sounding like, “I said don’t ask me again!
You ask me again and I will turn this car around right now and
we can go straight home!”
Sometimes we as parents can be just as impatient with what we
want to see in our homes and with our children. Many times we
pray and expect God to bless our homes right now. Maybe we
have prayed something specific for our child and have expected
it to happen that moment. Our fear is that total calamity will fall
upon our home or overtake our child unless Jesus comes to our
aid that minute. Well, you’re not the first one to feel that way.
John 11 gives us a great example of some folks who felt the very
same thing. Let’s take a look.
The Credentials Vs 1-3: This isn’t just any random person. This
was Lazarus! He was the brother of some ladies Jesus knew well.
The passage reads, “Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was
from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (This
Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one
who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her
hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, ‘Lord, the one you love is
sick.’ ” Lazarus’ sister essentially communicated to Jesus just like
you or I have done. Maybe you have felt He has forgotten you
and you start out trying to remind Him who you are, what need
you have.
The “Care” vs 4-7: After bringing our need to God, we generally
expect Him to move right then. When He doesn’t, we can feel
like we have been forgotten. Take a look at His response in our
passage. “When He heard this, Jesus said, ‘This sickness will not
end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be
glorified through it.’”
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when
He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was two
more days, and then He said to His disciples, ‘Let us go back to
Judea.’” Wait a second, God heard my prayer and He didn’t come
running to my aid? God knows our need and He will be glorified
in all things. I love how, in this passage, John reminds us that
even though He delayed His immediate response to the need
He, “loved Martha, and her sister and Lazarus.” Waiting does not
mean He doesn’t love you. It doesn’t mean He is ignoring your
child’s need.
8
The Commentary vs. 14: We end up hearing the sad news. “So
then He told them plainly, ‘Lazarus is dead, and for your sake
I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us
go to him.’” Notice though Lazarus actually DID die. The family
DID feel pain and grief. He NEVER promised we would not
experience those things. Note that He also didn’t sweep in at the
last moment and save Lazarus as he drew his last breath. When
it comes to you and your children, there is no scenario too bad,
no situation too dark, no location too far, no time too late that
God can’t fix it.
When we as parents and caregivers pray, we must do so with
faith. Faith sees the invisible, feels the intangible and believes for
the impossible. Faith-filled prayers see life independent of time
constraints. God can do ANYTHING! Can God trust you with
silence? Can God trust you with delay? Can God trust you to still
love Him even when you actually FEEL pain, suffering or loss? At
Cornerstone Christian Schools, we desire our students to know
God’s timing is perfect. He knows their need. Are we modeling
patient prayers or do our children see us wringing our hands and
being snippy or on-edge when we are faced with adversity? Be a
warrior for your child. Make sure they know God has heard your
prayers. He will always come through!

Living
b y Lu i s ( N i n o ) G on z a l e Z
with Perseverance
Perseverance isn’t the most popular action to practice, but it’s
a quality God wants to produce in our lives.
James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the one who perseveres
under trial because, having stood the test, that person
will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised
to those who love him.”
Whether we like perseverance or not, it is a prerequisite to
reaching our goals and ultimately receiving the crown of life
when we join our Creator in heaven.
What does it mean to have perseverance? One definition
describes it as: The continued effort to do or achieve
something despite difficulties, failure or opposition.
Perseverance is the attitude that says, “No matter what
life throws at me I’m going to push through it!” This is the
attitude Jesus had while here on earth.
Hebrews 12:2 says, “For the joy set before him he (Jesus)
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at
the right hand of the throne of God.”
Jesus persevered through the circumstances He encountered
because He knew the future was far greater than His current
circumstances.
James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers
and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith produces
perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
2. Adjust to obstacles:
We’re going to face obstacles in life. The best thing we can do
when we encounter them is to adjust and ask God to see us
through.
Proverbs 22:3 says, “The prudent see danger and take
refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
3. Abide in Patience:
How can we develop perseverance?
Patience is one of the most important tools in developing
perseverance. We must consider the process God is taking
us through, believing that the end is always better than the
beginning.
James 5:7-8 says, “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters,
until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the
land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the
autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand
firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”
1. Accept the unchangeable:
Luis (Nino) Gonzalez
The reality is we won’t be able to change everything we
don’t like. Oftentimes we try to change circumstances or
people, becoming exhausted in the process. Have you ever
considered why God doesn’t allow those circumstances or
people to change? Perhaps He is using them to bring about a
change in you.

Pulling the Fuse:
Preventing the Explosion
of Resentment & Revenge
By Pastor Michael Fernandez
A
bomb can’t be detonated without a lit fuse.
Unforgiveness, resentment and revenge can’t explode
in our hearts if we choose to extinguish it before it
ignites. Without a doubt, there will be times in our lives where
we will be offended, hurt or even betrayed. These are things
we may not be able to prevent.
Despite not being able to prevent these negative things
from occurring, we can choose a positive response. I’m not
suggesting to ignore pain or disappointment, as much as I’m
suggesting that allowing these things to explode in our lives
will only provide dangerous and negative effects.
Forgiveness is a choice to release people from the offending
action over our lives. It provides new-found joy and freedom
for our future.
Here are three ways to “Pull the Fuse” (taken from the life of
Joseph):
1) Choose Not To Harbor Resentfulness. Genesis 50:15
“When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead,
they said, ‘What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and
pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?’”
Joseph’s brothers acted out of hatred when they sold Joseph
into slavery and they knew they did a number of things
wrong. They understood that Joseph had every right to harbor
resentfulness and this scared them; but Joseph’s response was
to show love and kindness to them. Elizabeth Gilbert said, “As
smoking is to lungs, so is resentment to the soul; even one
puff is bad for you.” Since we choose our response toward
offenses, we must be sure to remember the mercies of God
upon our lives.
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do
that. I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden
to bear.” The Bible doesn’t say this was easy for Joseph, but it
does show us his heart.
3) Get Rid of Negative Bombs (Attitudes) Ephesians 4:31-32
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and
slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and
compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as
in Christ God forgave you.”
Getting rid of negative attitudes and actions is an event that
is expected of all believers. It is an individual and personal
responsibility to ensure that the bombs of negativity, rage and
anger be extinguished. Negative attitudes produce negative
actions. However, we are instructed to choose kindness,
compassion and a forgiving attitude towards others.
Like a bomb cannot explode without a fuse, so is the death of
resentment and revenge when we choose to love and forgive
as Christ has done for us. Young Adults, we challenge you to
walk away from explosive attitudes and events in life with the
help of the Holy Spirit. As Joseph was blessed, so will we be
when we choose not be resentful, and love when it seems like
we should not.
In Your Corner,
Michael Fernandez
2) Love Even When We Don’t Have To. Genesis 50:17
“This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive
your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in
treating you so badly. Now please forgive the sins of the
servants of the God of your father. When their message
came to him Joseph wept.”
Joseph wept because of his love for his brothers, not because
of the missed opportunity to retaliate. Joseph chose to love his
brothers rather than lose them to unforgiveness, resentment
and revenge. Martin Luther King, Jr. appropriately wrote
about hatred, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only

Diana’s Dishes
I love the springtime when we can head
outside and enjoy the backyard. Like every
season at our house, we relish the time we
have with our children and grandchildren,
and have them over often to enjoy dinner
al fresco on the back porch. Easter is
especially enjoyable because the weather
is nice and we can fill a piñata with candy
and watch the grandchildren comb the
yard for sugary treats…and then send
them home with their parents.
We also enjoy the traditional cascarones
which are the egg shells stuffed with
confetti that the babies enjoy cracking
over each other’s heads. But whatever the
event, big or small, I love to be outside
when the weather permits. All you need
to do to host an outdoor party is set up
a table with a nice cloth and put some
simple flowers in the center. You can even
use your dessert as a centerpiece if you
wish. The idea is to just enjoy the time
together and to give God thanks for the
blessings He has so richly bestowed upon
each and every one of us.
As we celebrate Palm Sunday and Easter,
we are reminded that Christ is risen. The
beauty of the Cross is that He became our
redeemer, washing us whiter than snow.
The beauty of the grave is that it is empty.
Our redeemer lives!
So, take the time to celebrate this great
life He has given us. We have much for
which to be thankful! Try out a few of my
personal recipes that I’m including here
today and mix them with your own. Invite
your friends and loved ones over and enjoy
the great outdoors! A delicious meal with
loved ones is definitely a precious treat!
Ham with Biscuits & Honey
This is where I cheat. Purchase
your favorite honey ham and
prepare according to directions if
not already cooked. You can either
prepare frozen biscuits from the
store or purchase ready-made
biscuits from your favorite bakery.
Place the sliced ham on a platter.
(I like to buy a second smaller ham
and use as a centerpiece in the
center of the platter.) Place biscuits
in a cloth-napkin-lined basket and
serve with honey.

with
Shawn Michaels
Retired professional wrestler, Shawn Michaels, joined us for
Guy’s Night Out in February for a night filled with food, fun
and fellowship. Shawn is not only currently signed to WWE,
but he serves as an ambassador to the company and is a
special event referee. He has been featured in numerous
pay-per-view wrestling matches over the past four decades
as well as closed out WrestleMania five times. All of this
worldwide recognition, and Shawn Michaels is proud to say
that his heart and his family belong to Jesus Christ, his Lord
and Savior.
Shawn joined the men of Cornerstone Church to talk about
his Christian walk while the men enjoyed a delicious, multicourse meal courtesy of our fabulous Events Department.
Cornerstone Church is home to many wonderful events that
are life-changing, and the night spent with Shawn Michaels
was no exception.
Taking his time to enjoy the crowd and make friendly banter,
Shawn Michaels posed for pictures with young and old fans
alike. The evening was fun and relaxed, a pleasant time to
be spent with those of like-minded faith.
If you haven’t yet joined us for a Guy’s Night Out event, please
call the church at 210-490-1600 and check our calendar. We
have some great people on the calendar that want to share
the love of the Lord with you over a delicious steak dinner.
What could be better than that?! These nights of fellowship
will encourage and uplift you. There is no better place to come
than the house of the Lord to make new friends.

ministering to the spiritual needs of children
in 1st – 5th grade
Cornerstone Kids would like to
introduce two new full-time ministry coordinators.
These talented ladies will be a tremendous blessing to our Cornerstone Church family.
Celeste Engel
Sunday School & Volunteer Coordinator
Celeste Engel was saved under Pastor Hagee’s ministry
and has been a member of Cornerstone Church since she
was 19. She and her husband, Joey, will celebrate their
20th wedding anniversary in July along with their eight
wonderful children: Preston, Matthias, Francis, Bethany,
Ilan, Logan, Abigail and Arianna.
For the first time this year, they will all be attending
Cornerstone Christian Schools at the same time. What
does a mother of eight do when her children all leave for
school? She becomes the new Sunday School and Volunteer
Coordinator for Cornerstone Kids. She is organized and loves
to be a good steward of resources as she prepares teaching
materials and curriculum for our faithful Sunday School
teachers. Celeste looks forward to serving the volunteers
who joyfully give of their time and energy to invest and
infuse the Word of God into
the hearts of Cornerstone’s
children.
Celeste says, “Cornerstone
has one of the richest
legacies in the world
when it comes to reaching
children with the love of
God. I feel blessed to be
part of Pastor Brett and
Leslee’s team, as we not
only minister locally but
also globally through GETV. These will be some of the most
exciting days in the history of the world, we will continue to
be extreme for our Father and raise up the next generation
for Christ!”
Liza Solares
Ministry Coordinator & Worship Leader
Liza Solares is from
Chicago,
where
her
parents
have
been
pastoring for more than 30
years (traveling extensively
throughout Central and
South America). Liza’s own
ministry began at a very
young age as she started
singing at her local church
at the age of five. Two years
later she traveled to Puerto
Rico and won a children’s
singing contest. Her parents saw her gift and encouraged
her to develop it. By 13, Liza wrote her first song expressing
her heart for the Lord and was leading the congregation in
worship.
Liza and her family are new to Cornerstone Church. Her
husband, Nelson, recently became the Assistant Pastor for
20
CORNE RSTONE MAG AZI N E | AP RI L 2 0 1 4
the College & Career Ministry as well as the Campus Ministry
Coordinator. Liza has plugged into the College and Career
Praise and Worship Ministry, and says, “Worship strengthens
who I am, as I worship I understand that it is more than just
singing in tune, worship is about transparency and openness.
It is solely about God, for of Him and through Him and to
Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.”
As Ministry Coordinator and Worship Leader of Cornerstone
Kids, Liza hopes to convey the importance of worship to this
generation. “I hear a pure sound when children worship.
They have no inhibitions. They don’t know about limits and
their worship is a pure sound. I believe God will heal hearts,
strengthen their walk and they will live life connected to their
purpose…to be a vessel of honor that brings glory to God.”
Her prayer is that as each child discovers worship, faith will
arise and they will be strengthened in their walk with God.
W
e take great care in presenting Jesus in a
way that is fun and relevant for children.
We are blessed to offer these Sunday services
and programs in the Life Center:
Every week we create an atmosphere where
children:
• Children’s worship service at 8:30 a.m. and
11:00 a.m.
1. Experience the Father’s Love
• Small group classes at 10:00 a.m.
2. Discover their identity in Christ
• Bible activity program at 6:30 p.m.
3. Demonstrate the love of God
toward others
• Children’s Choir available at 6:00 p.m.
• One2One Special Needs program during all
services.
Our mission implies movement.
Children move from an experience (Salvation), to a discovery
(Discipleship), to a demonstration (Service). Our Children’s Ministry
believes biblical discipleship is an ongoing process, and we strive to
provide services, programs, and events that make that possible.

Missions Update
Sunday School is a great environment to teach children
about missions and help them develop a “global” Christian
worldview. Each Cornerstone Kids Sunday School Class
sponsors a child through World Vision. Every Sunday, we
collect the offering and children spend time praying for
their sponsored child.
2014 started with a fresh vision for our missions efforts.
We presented each class a tangible goal of $360 for full
sponsorship. The results have been incredible! After only 8
weeks our 3rd and 4th grade classes have fully sponsored
their child for 2014. We celebrated this accomplishment by
having a party and learning more about the country where
their child is from. Children enjoyed cake, but the highlight
of the party was the introduction of another sponsored
child that they could now bless with their offering.
It is such a joy to see children catch the vision for missions
and giving. Our Cornerstone kids are truly making a
DIFFERENCE in the world!
If your child is not enrolled in a Sunday
School class during the 10:00 am hour,
please contact Celeste Engel at 499-1739

Fusion Winter Camp
2014 was fantastic!
Pastor Jon Norman and his wife, Chantel, joined us
from Hillsong Church in New York. Pastor Jon delivered
several Holy Spirit-inspired messages and the power
of God fell upon our middle school youth with a fresh
anointing. Many were baptized in the Holy Spirit and
others shared powerful testimonies by the end of the
week with their peers. Chantel spoke during some of
the camp sessions as well and often joined the Fusion
Praise Band on stage as the presence of the Lord was
made known to all in attendance. Those who were at
Tarpley were blessed beyond measure!
Then came the games! Our Tarpley Retreat Center has
plenty of room to spread out and play every sport
imaginable. You name it; we played it. No one could
resist joining in on the shaving cream fight which made
a huge mess. As we showered up and came together
once again, the students were invited to share their
God-given talent with the camp during our annual
Talent Show. There was no shortage of fun, laughter
and good, Christian fellowship!
To shake things up a bit, we loaded the buses once
again and headed out to see the Lego movie at the
Boerne theatre. Cornerstone was in the house, and
the students loved the movie and spending a little
more time together while munching on popcorn and
sugary treats. It was an action-packed weekend, but as
always…God showed up right on time and showed our
middle school youth once again how very faithful He is.
Call our offices now to make plans to join us for
Fusion Summer Camp 2014. You simply don’t
want to miss out on the good times ahead!

Each Wednesday evening, the Fusion Middle School
Ministry employs a different theme so that by the end of
the year, each of the students is able to find a few themes
that really appeal to them. Sometimes we dress up; other
times we have guest speakers. Sometimes we load up the
busses and head off campus for game night. We have also
invited people to come in and talk about causes that are
impacting our modern society (like sex trafficking) so that
we can teach our students how to make an impact for the
Kingdom amongst their peer groups. Our themes are a way
to get everyone involved and to appeal to those who have
never attended a Fusion event. We want you to come and
see what it’s all about! Fusion is a Christ-centered group that
likes to laugh, love and learn about the great things God has
in store for this generation.
message that motivated our youth to shine the love and
light of Jesus Christ on those in their community who need
to hear that a Savior died just for them, a Savior who loves
them very much. The overwhelming response among the
students was a blessing to behold, and we know that God is
going to use these well-equipped warriors in a mighty way!
This year we have celebrated many fun themes, but the
fan favorite was “Nerd Night.” Fusion enjoyed a night of
praise and worship to the King of kings and an inspirational

On Sunday mornings we have a Sunday School class
that we cordially invite you to attend. We will be starting a
brand-new DVD series called “I AM.” This series focuses on
getting to know more about God on a deeper level, building
a relationship that is a strong foundation to live for God! We
would love for your middle schooler to join us in the Praise
Center at 10:15 a.m. Sunday morning and be refreshed and
renewed by a great message straight from the Word of God.
