The Grassroots Ministry acts in accordance with divine or moral law, free from sin or guilt, striving for lokahi across all islands to become one united front.
God’s law gives direction, wisdom, and joy to our lives.
In the simplest of terms, the Law is the sum total of God’s requirements and expectations for man’s behavior, words, and attitude, and to turn aside from them or rebel against them is sin. So in the final analysis, God’s law is that we should put God first in our lives. He wants us to function under Him as loving, obedient sons and daughters.
