"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together..."
--Ephesians 4:15-16
Dear Allen Temple Family and Friends,
We are so humbled to be serving the youth of Allen Temple and the greater community. We see this as a gift from God and will treat it as such. In a world filled with good and evil, we feel it is necessary to teach our youth the difference between good and evil by stressing how important it is to be joyful. Joyful people seldom do evil.

EAT THE BEST
2/15/2012
ISAIAH 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land. [New International translation]
Summary
Isaiah received his prophetic call during the last year of the reign of King Uzziah, one of the kings of Judah. Isaiah prophesied during the reign of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Isaiah’s name means “the salvation of GOD.” His prophesies included: 1) Speaking out against the Jewish people’s willful disobedience, sinful and adulterous behavior against GOD; 2) Inviting Jews and Gentiles to repent before GOD, who no enemy can withstand; and 3) Giving comfort with the prophetic promise of the coming of the Messiah. Because of his eloquence in speech, some consider Isaiah to be the “Prince of prophets” or the “Shakespeare of prophets.”
