Theme: United to Christ, the Christian is part of the new creation; walk by this rule

For the palace is forsaken, the populous city deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become dens for ever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks; until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field. – Isaiah 32:14-16

Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God. – Galatians 6:16 (NIV Translation)
