CM Update 2/21/10

1 Corinthians 13:13 -- So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I just wanted each of you to know that I love you all, and it is a pleasure to serve the Lord with each of you. Keep spreading the love!

In Jesus,
Phil

CM Update 2/14/10

John 4:39-42 --And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did." So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. And many more believed because of His own word. Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

When we teach the children in our classes, our words are powerful to mold their minds. Some will be turned to Jesus because of our words, but remember that Jesus' Word must take priority. Faith that comes from the hearing of the Word of Christ is solid. Teach the Word in your classes consistently. You cannot go wrong in sharing God's words.

In Jesus,
Phil
