金句 / Key Verse
著趁耶和華通尋著的時來尋伊,佇伊相近的時求叫伊。歹人著離開伊的路;不義的人著改換伊的念頭。歸向耶和華,伊欲憐憫伊;歸向咱的上帝,因為伊欲遍行赦免。
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
(以賽亞書 Isaiah 55:6-7 )
