A NEW HART

Phil 1:8-11

8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to

discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of

righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.

righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.

You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
