“Do not think of your self more highly than you ought,

but rather think of yourself with sober judgment

in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”

~Romans 12:3 (NIV)~

The Amite Mission Team made it safely home from their trip.  Keep your ears open for reports from various members of the team.  Thank God these people willingly gave of themselves to help introduce others to God.  Thank God for people who seized the opportunity to be a witness for Him.

Jeff Birch is doing well, even though he is sore.  He was up walking the halls twice yesterday.  Sandy is able to stay with him.  They are thankful for the surgeon and the hospital.  Thank God for the progress he is making.

An opportunity you have to help a sick child:

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2.10
Mike Benson, Editor

WHEN A LIFE is at stake, people respond instinctively to the crisis…

  • The fireman hurls himself into a burning building to rescue a frightened boy.
  • A mother darts in front of an onrushing automobile to grab a stray child.
  • An average swimmer jumps into a rushing stream to grab a drowning stranger.

What is it that prompts such heroic acts?  One thing–the sure knowledge of the consequences if they do not attempt the rescue.

If evangelism is to become natural in the church, we must have a full knowledge of the consequences if we fail to reach out.  Ken Hemphill, “Passion for the Lost,” The Antioch Effect, 153

“But others save with fear,

pulling them out of the fire,

hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.”

~Jude 23~

May your blessing be many today.  May you realize the many ways God has blessed you!
