This morning at central teaching, Gary Delashmutt continued the series on the book of Acts and the subject was Words and Deeds. Through the first few chapters of Acts, Gary revealed a pattern: Word + Deeds together bringing wide spread social favor among the people and then many people becoming followers of Christ.
Coincidentaly, tonight on The Simpsons, Homer and Ned were bounty hunters. During a stakeout Homer wanted to listen to AC/DC, but Ned prefered the Christian cover band, AD/BC, whereby Ned and Homer both began singing, "Kindly deeds, done for free." Tommy and I were cracking up.
I thought that the timing of all this was was a good carry over from our home group discussion on Wednesday. Here are some bullet points from this morning that I changed to questions:
Are we being "lights" at work and in our neighborhood?
Are we using our gifts of service & mercy to help those outside of our church?
Are we volunteering in community service & civiv organizations?
Are we developing needed community service ministires? And,
Are we doing home group service projects?
Good questions to think about and discuss in two weeks.
