( Fexas Ave -6684 ihico.com "Body piercing saved my life." Not a pierced ear, nose, navel or tongue ... but pierced hands and feet. And not as a fashion statement ... but as a sacrifice for you and me. Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was brutally nailed to a cross-crucified. Why did he suffer? Why did he die such a cruel death? So we wouldn’t have to. Because he loves us. “But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities; The punishment that brought us peace was upon him. And by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 (New International Version) And now here’s the real good news: he’s alive today! God is reaching out to people through His son, Jesus Christ. To find out more about God’s relevance in your life. We encourage you to read this free article by Josh McDowell: Does Christianity Work? www.leaderu.com/everystudent/josh/josh.html FACULTY FRIENDS John 3:16 states “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not (Wish but have eternal life.” We are a group of professors, instructors, lecturers, and administrators united by their common experience that Jesus Christ provides intellectually and spiritually satisfying answers to life’s most important questions.
