WE are to witness to the truth, power, and sweetness of religion; to the goodness, holiness, and faithfulness of God.

The Amen … the Beginning of the creation of God. § The beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
