A brief sentence on what singing gospel music means to you…..

Adult Choir World Vision Fund (kitty)

          As you all know, we support world vision through the choir donations each Sunday night.  Mary Kaufmann asked me to thank you: you all have been very generous this spring and there is enough money in kitty for the summer while we’re not meeting.  Praise the Lord!

 

Value of the Month: Ephesians 4:29

          Ephesians 4:29 says: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

          Okay, so we’re commanded to build each other up.  But what’s the motivation behind it?  Consider the stern warning from Jude about “godless men.”  According to Jude 1:16, these guys “boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.” 

          I remember first moving to Newburgh and making the conscious effort to always follow Ephesians 4:29 with everyone (believe me, before the move to Newburgh I did NOT follow Ephesians 4:29: ask my wife about it. J).  Then I was reading Jude one morning and that passage hit me like a ton of bricks: what is my motivation?  Am I “building others up according to their needs” or am I simply flattering others “for my own advantage?”  Hmmmm…..
