The bible says

The sign says

“IF WE DIE TO SIN WHY SHOULD WE LIVE ANY LONGER IN IT?”

The truth will set you free

“God gave us laws BUT we don’t want to follow those laws.”

God given,

God taken,

We will take the prophet and take it

Questions of protection
The love of Christ compels
Us to take matters into our own hands

Sins
Lies

“JESUS DIDN’T NEED A MICROPHONE”

“IF YOU WERE ON THIS SIDE, GOD CHOSE YOU”

Emotion outpouring from mouths and hands
