LOVE ONE ANOTHER

If noone else is going to post to the blog, you may be subject to my sermonizing, and I am not a qualified preacher. For example, our SS devotional this morning is from 1 Peter 4 and verse 8 says "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins" and since VBS starts tonight Peter admonishes us "If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ."

Remember that Christ told us our first duty is to love God and that we show our love by loving others. Dr. Chaffin preached a whole series of sermons on love using the book of 1John as I remember. One thing I do remember is him telling us that you don't have to like someone to love them. If you aren't coming to church I invite you to return in order to show your love for God and while you are there show some love for those that you are forgiving because they transgressed against you in something they said or did. You will feel a lot better the rest of the week.

Pray for our building committees as they work on the hard issues they have.

Charles
