THATS WHY I LOVE HIM

An old Indian chief constantly spoke of the Lord Jesus and what He meant to him. Why do you talk so much about Jesus? asked a friend. The old chief did not reply, but slowly, deliberately gathered some sticks and bits of grass. He made a circle of them. In the circle he placed a caterpillar. Still silent, he struck a match and lit the sticks and bits of grass. They watched the caterpillar. As the fire caught around the circle, the trapped caterpillar began to crawl around rapidly, seeking a way of escape. As the fire advanced, the helpless caterpillar raised its head as high as it could. If the creature could have spoken, it would have said, My help can come only from above. Then the old chief stooped down. He extended his finger to the caterpillar which crawled up his finger to safety. That, said the old chief glowingly, was what the Lord Jesus did for me! I was lost in sin. My condition was hopeless. I was trapped. Then the Lord Jesus stooped down, and in love and mercy He drew me out of the horrible pit of sin and shame. How can I help but love him and talk of His wondrous love and care? (Copied)

How does a person walk like a Christian? The Good Samaritan teaches us how. Today, well learn that we need to show love through action. We need a heart that does not judge others. And we need to be willing to serve those in need, even when we know they cant repay us, because Jesus did the same for us. Thank you for supporting the Russellville Church of God Childrens Ministry. __________

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week

I am sick of opinions. Give me a humble, gentle lover of God and mana man full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality or hypocrisy. Bigotry is too strong an attachment to our own creed or opinion. How unwilling men are to follow anything good in those who do not agree with them in all things. We must not narrow the cause of God to our own beliefs, but rejoice in goodness where ever it appears.
------John Wesley
