“THE EXHIBITION”
“Walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself
up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant
aroma. . . . So then do not be foolish, but understand what
the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for
that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one
another in the fear of Christ.” Ephesians 5:1,17-22

giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
