Just a suggestion?
"Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." Luke 6:30-31
Do you think Jesus meant what he said?

Haiti Earthquake
Give to World Vision (click here)
We've all seen the disaster in Haiti. Many of you have already given and that is good. When things settle down, World Vision will remain and will need continued support. Bless them and give as God leads you. May we remember to continue to reach out and do all we can to help our neighbors.

2010
"As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." I Corinthians 12: 20-22
We begin a new year and I believe it will be a tremendous year for the Body of Christ! Yes, we will see war, earthquakes, famines, and nations falling due to the economic situation of our world. It may be the worst year ever as evil tries its hand to bring chaos into our lives.
But on the other side, I believe this year will start bringing God's people together. The church will rise to the occasion and start becoming what God has called us to be. A people full of love and selfless serving to those who are in need. At least this is my desire!
It's time for believers to join together. It's time for the church to become the church. As Paul points out in 1 Corinthians, we all need each other! That doesn't mean you need to go join a church...the church is not a place or a particular denomination, it's people. It's the Body of Christ. If you are out of fellowship with believers, you need to find others who believe and become a part of that discipline. There is no such thing as "Lone Rangers" in the church. Paul notes that even the "Head" cannot say to the "feet" "I don't need you!" Jesus is the Head and He knows each of us are part of the Body...and He needs and desires us to be a part of the Body.
It's time to become useful as a member of the Body of Christ. Look up and know that you have a purpose and are needed. We all are needed. None is left behind to go it alone.
It's a new year and it's a new day. Come Lord Jesus!
