"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"Matthew 25:37-40
Dear church family, you will notice that I am using the same passage of scripture as I used last week. No, it isn't because I am too lazy to look up a different word from God but because this one carries so much of a message from Him. There will be a time when our efforts on this earth are assessed and rewards handed out. I think the way we express God's love to others is key in how God looks at each of us individually. Our help of and concern for others really tells how much God means to us. The more 'selfless' I become the more Christ like I become. As I consider our church family and the acts of selflessness you are involved in I can only praise God for His mercy to us and for teaching us His Word so clearly. Thank you for taking His Word seriously. By the way, we gave over $1300 last Sunday to help those in Haiti. The money has been sent to the NAB national headquarters and forwarded to our pastors on the frontline of the disaster zone. Again I can only praise God for your generosity in serving Him.
