Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

It is that time of week again and I pray all is well with you.

God continues to show himself mighty and is using us for His glory. We had a great day Sunday and we look forward to this week with great anticipation.

Thank you for thinking of us, praying for us and sending those words of encouragement via email. I also want to thank those that have sent money to help us in our ministry you will never know how grateful we are.

Until next week, see you in church.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on
Don

When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2

The late Adrian Rogers once told a story that humorously shows the serious effects pride can have on a person. He told of a man who walked into a friend's home, bruised and bleeding. When asked what had happened, the injured friend replied, "Well, I was walking down the street and was mugged by two thugs who wanted all of my money. I didn't want to give it to them, so I fought them and fought them and fought them!" His friend then asked how much money he had on him when he was attacked. "Thirty-five cents," he answered. "You fought for 35 cents?" his friend exclaimed. "Yes," the wounded man answered. "I didn't want to reveal my financial situation."

We can laugh at this character's irrational behavior, but how many times have we said or done something in an effort to conceal our true spiritual condition, financial state, or marital health?
The Bible tells us that "A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor" (Proverbs 29:23). A moment of humility will gain more respect than a lifetime of pride. Begin to live a humble life, moment by moment.

"Satan's number one weapon is pride. God's number one defense is humility." Larry Burkett
