DID YOU KNOW?
By Preacher Clint
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD’S
NOT WILLING THAT ANY
SHOULD PERISH?
GOD created all things for his
good pleasure including mankind.
GOD’S purpose for mankind was to
show forth HIS glory and to be in
perfect harmony with HIM, but
because of sin man lost GOD’S glory
and realized he was naked. Adam
was ashamed of his condition and
tried to hide from GOD. (Gen. 3:10)
Sin causes separation, alienation and
isolation from GOD. (Isa. 59:2) But
GOD in His mercy reached out to
mankind and gave His SON a
sacrifice for sin thus making a way of
reconciliation. (Rom. 5:8) WILL
YOU ACCEPT HIS FREE GIFT?

PURPLE HEART...A good number
of ACS’ former students are serving
their country in the Armed Forces.
Several months ago Jonathan
Chapman was deployed to Iraq with
his Army unit.
While on a special assignment,
Jonathan was shot in the shoulder by
a sniper. Several weeks ago
Jonathan, now recovered from his
wound, was decorated with the
Purple Heart, awarded to U.S,
Military who are wounded in action.
We are very proud of Jonathan, as
well as other members of the “ACS
family" who are serving their country.
We need to pray for our brave
military troops, the first line of
defense against the sinister enemy
of terrorism.
