  Prison Meditations by Bunyan Friend, I salute thee in the Lord,  And wish thou may'st abound In faith, and have a good regard  To keep on holy ground. Thou dost encourage me to hold  My head above the flood; Thy counsel better is than gold:  In need thereof I stood. Good counsel's good at any time;  The wise will it receive, Tho' fools count he commits a crime  Who doth good counsel give.

So logically, if one sins it can be said that HE SEPERATED FROM GOD. This logic is complete. Take as an illustration, Adam and Eve, both were with God, but when they sinned, they hid from God: they SEPERATED from God. Ge.3:7-10 | KJV 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden...

               THE FATHER'S COMPASSION TEXT LUKE 15:17-20 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father`s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. Good morning friends. Before I start my message, I must thank you for having to spend time to be in this group and to read and study the words of our God and Maker who gave us His Bible for a guide in every thing. Let's pray. Dear God, I am very happy 😄 to be here as a preaching preacher in Africa who not minding the trending apostasy of his brothers in Christ still stands to preach the full words o...
