10/09          Galatians 6:7-10

7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 

8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 

9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. 

10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

SOW

Sow wisely in the kingdom work.  Sowing involves our service to others.  People will never know how much we love them until we show them how much we care by caring for them.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  

10/08          Galatians 6:2

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

PEOPLE

People need you.  You know Jesus and they need to know Him.  Share Jesus by what you say and do.  Care for others.  

10/07          Matthew 25:35-40, 45

35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 

36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ 

37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 

38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 

39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 

40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ 

45 “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’

REAL

Christianity is real activity representing our Lord Jesus Christ in this world.  We are His hands and feet.  We minister unto the welfare of those we meet.  Every time I meet someone, I have an opportunity to be the representative of the Lord God Almighty.  Jesus loves you and me and calls us to love one another.  Love is an action word, not a noun.  Care for people.  

10/06          Matthew 23:23

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.

What they need, have and are count.
