Weekly Devotional

By Max Lucado
Dependable people are like diamonds. They are precious because they are so rare. Experience and know-how are great assets, but they are not much good without trustworthiness. Talent is wonderful, but by itself its not enough. Far better to be a faithful christian. Are you? Like Timothy and Epaphroditus , are you a role model for others? Determine to be a person others can rely on. Keep your word. Show up. Be consistent. Live for others. Take risks . Be a "go to" guy or gal. Make it your goal, by God's grace, to exemplify a life of spiritual steadiness.

Outreach At William Carey University

We had a great time Tuesday night at William Carey! The Lord blessed by sending the rain in a different direction. We had about 15 volunteers who cooked, served, visited, played music and sang. We fed the soccer teams, the Carey staff that attended, all of the parents and students, and other spectators.

Pray for this ministry to grow into an outreach with William Carey to the neighborhood!

We want to thank Dr Tommy King and the staff for inviting and allowing us to be a part of the ministry team at William Carey. We pray there will be many more opportunities to work together.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all the precious volunteers.

Steve and Cheryl Gray

There is Joy in Serving The Lord

Joy is a stable and ever present attitude in the midst of life. It is more than happiness. It is more than laughter. It is closely related to peace and hope. But it is not a joy that is based on circumstances; it is a joy that is based on the power, the person, and the purposes of God!

Joshua 24:15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

I am So Glad everyone of you are serving the Lord with Gladness of Heart and Joy in your Soul.

Keep up the Good work and one day I'll have me a Harley to ride along with you

Shane and I hate that we couldn't be at the William Carey outreach. The Good thing is, when we have to miss something, we'll find out what kind of exciting things have happened at all the events.
