What Would You Do?

PASTOR'S BLOG

The more I think about it, the more I’m concluding the operative question isn’t—What would you do?—but rather—What would Jesus do?

For a few moments let’s leave the trials and tribulations of our nation and its government behind. After all, life much closer to home can be complicated enough, have you noticed?

Take the fifty-year-old woman who's going to be released this afternoon from the Berrien County jail. She’s homeless, has been living out of her car for months—a car impounded for the thirty days she’s been behind bars (a car worth less than the accruing daily charge she now owes the towing company).

Family, Fun, & Faith

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FAMILY LIFE COMMITTEE
 

If you’ve ever experienced the joy of blowing bubbles, you know that bubbles only last for a short time before they pop and disappear. But while they are floating and whole, they are fun to be around. You can watch how they rise and fall with the air current; you can see their iridescent colors; you can chase after them and try to catch them with your wand. But all too soon, they pop and are gone.

Giving Online

Thank you for giving purposefully, faithfully, and joyfully! If you have been giving on Adventist Giving Online, please help us by creating and then signing in to your account each time you give. It helps us better when you sign in to give rather than when you give as a guest. 

We appreciate your gifts and thank you for your faithfulness.
