MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 9 this will be accomplished in your midst. God knew the hearts and minds of those, who were moved and sent tangible help that the building process continued up until this present day.... Yes, God, Our Heavenly Father, sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to be the cornerstone of every building erected in His name. His laws should be foremost in the minds of all those who staff, manage and direct this beautiful new building. Therefore, build upon this solid rock, and your edifice shall 6tand forever. Just as there are certain unalterable laws in nature, there are the same eternal laws in the spiritual realm. The water will never flow upwards, and the fire under certain circumstances, can be a blessing ever in a disaster. So, there are eternal laws laid down by Almighty God for us as individuals and members of society. If we abide by them we shall prosper and advance, but if we deny and oppose them, God will bring trials upon us. We must realize that not one word, not one “iota” of His eternal law can be changed. The fact, that we were born and live and now attend this dedication service here in Akron, Ohio, and everything is determined in advance by our Heavenly Father, who pre-destined our life here on earth. Trials may come, storms may rage, problems you will face, but with the help of God all your questions will be answered and all the obstacles will be overcome. God will help you to rely more and more on Him, who was the beginning and the end, the Author and Finisher of every good work. For this magnificent building and its future here, let all praise and glory be ascribed to our God, and to our Savior, Jesus Christ: for ever and ever. Amen. Dezső Ábrahám, Bishop * * * P.S.
