Bible Note: Lisa G, Bless your heart sister I could not have put it any better myself.Paul makes mention on more than one occasion of peoples giving in support of him and his ministry. Nothing comes free,our salvation cost God his dearest blood. I am acutely aware of that this day, 13 months ago I suuffered a major heart attack. It is by Gods manifold grace and mercy that I'm still here. I shouldnt be but thank God I am. As a result I am now retired. It took a significant amount of time to get things done. During that time the brothers and sisters from the Pastor on down really stepped up to the plate for me. I will be eternaly grateful to God for their love support and compassion. Read Acts 2:44,45 This is what I've been living for the last 8 years. This how it worked back in the first century church. When someone was in need the beleivers banded together and helped them.Can we do any less today. It is encumbent on each of us to support the fellowships where we worship and those who lay down there lives for us on a daily basis. So my brothers and sisters the next time the plate comes around or the call for help goes out remember how much God has done done for you and do a 2Corinthians 9:7,8. Again thank you so much Lisa. Your brother in Christ lionheart |
