Doing what is right at the right time is better than praying to God always without any work. Many Christians have decided not to work to help others but they called themselves Christians. Beloved in Christ, did Almighty God form us to hate ourselves or love ourselves?
Many Christians have resigned from going to church, because of the little help, we couldn't offer to them.

This behavior has quenched the love of many Christians to do what they like to survive.
Beloved, as the coming of Christ, is at hand, how can we win them again to the kingdom?

Brethren for us to win many souls for christ as disciples of God, we have to show love to one another, as the disciples devoted themselves to the apostle's teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Fear came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common, and they sold their possession and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.

Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

I believe all of us are living to serve God but how do we serve him?
And for us to serve one well, we have to do what is needed and expected from the person.
Beloved do we know the commandment of God that we are serving?

One of the Pharisees, a lawyer ask Jesus a question, he said, teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said to them, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great first commandment.

And a second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. These two commandments depend on all the law and the prophets. Beloved, we started going to church at an early age but do we practice this?

Beloved, let us love our enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who abuse you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from him who takes away, your coat does not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you, and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again.

As you are what men would do to you, do so to them.
If you love those who loved you, what credit is that to you?
For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credits is that to you?
For even sinners do the same.

If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credits is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. Let us love our enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the highest, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.

Be merciful, even as your father is merciful.
Judge not, and you will not be judged. Condemn not, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. The measure you give will be the measure you get back.

Beloved, can a blind man lead a blind man?
Will they not both fall into a pit?
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully taught will be like his teacher. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eyes, but not notice the log that is in your eye?

First, to the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again a bad tree bears good fruit, each tree is known by its fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Jesus said to them, why do you call me lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you?

Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like, he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation upon rock, and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the streams broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

Beloved, let all strive to show love to God and our neighbors because without them we can not do anything on our own. Let's give equal respect to everyone, no matter the age or the situation in life, and I believe that what we expect will be added to us. May the good lord bless us, as we have decided to follow his path.
Thanks for spending your special time with us.
