Out of love for one another…….
We are currently requiring everyone attending the Sunday morning worship assembly to wear a mask in keeping with the Health Departments guidelines. We thank you for your consideration of and care for others. Masks are available if you need one.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 ESV)
Scripture of the Week
“I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to one hope when you were called — one Lord, one faith , one baptism, one God and Father of all, Who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:1b-6
Something to Smile About
A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to a dentist. ―I want a tooth pulled, and I don’t want Novocain because I’m in a big hurry, the woman said. ―Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we’ll be on our way. The dentist was quite impressed. ―You’re certainly a courageous woman, he said. ―Which tooth is it? The woman turned to her husband and said, ―Show him your tooth, dear.
The Kilgore, Texas, News-Herald reported of a motorist removed unconscious from his wrecked car and carried to a nearby gas station. He came to, opened his eyes and began to struggle violently. Eventually he was subdued and taken to a hospital. When asked why he struggled so hard to get away from his rescuers, he explained that they had taken him to a SHELL station, and somebody was standing in front of the ―S.
Two hunters had been wandering in the woods for several hours and had been unable to find their way out. Finally, one of them was overcome with panic. He said, ―We’re lost! They’ll never find us! What are we going to do? The other hunter said, ―Relax. Just shoot an extra deer and the game warden will be here in two minutes!
Think About It
IT DOESN’T HURT TO ASK
“Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire?” Job 3:11 (ESV)
“How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?” Job 7:19 (ESV)
God doesn’t mind questions; it’s doubt that He hates.
For many weary hours, the three friends of Job, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, accused Job of all kinds of evil. They spoke the kind of foolish words that the healthy and ill-informed often speak to those in pain. But Job wanted to take his case to the Lord Himself! Only at the end of the book does God at last break His silence, and although He answers not one of Job’s questions, neither does He chastise Job for asking them. God rebukes Job for only one thing; doubting His righteousness character.
We must never be afraid to ask the hard questions of God, neither must we demand that He answer. No matter how dark our circumstances may grow, we must resist the temptation to doubt God’s holy nature. When we, like Job, through trembling lips confess the awesome majesty of God, we may at last be ready for the awesome blessing of God. — via Ken Darnell
