PIECE-MAKERS?
One day in South Dakota a mother of four children was
preparing a talk on “Unity” to give to her ladies Bible class.
She worked on the speech until breakfast time, and then
she could not concentrate. Her four children had found a
Pop Tart, and they were arguing which child should have
it.
When the mother could stand the noise no longer, she
tried to quiet the kids down by scolding them. It didn’t
work, so she took a verse out of her speech and quoted Matthew 5:9 to them at
the top of her voice. “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE
CALLED SONS OF GOD.” Then she said, “Would somebody in there please be a
peace-maker”.
Suddenly the kitchen grew quiet, and then she heard the voice of her 6 year old say,
“I’ll be the piece-maker, Mom.” To each brother and sister the 6 year old said,
“Here’s a piece for you and you and you and one for me”.
P.S.
Isn’t it interesting how little children twist the scripture to fit their own
understanding? And isn’t it amazing how often adults do the same? We can see
clearly how others need to repent, but we don’t see the same obligation laid on us.
(Matthew 18) We are quick to quote the words of Jesus about how others should not
“judge us” but we feel no duty to return the favor. (Matthew 7) Like the Pharisees,
we demand “mercy” for ourselves, but inflict “the letter of the law” on others.
RKO
The 5% Solution
November 2nd is Great Commission Sunday. Many
questions swirl around the mind as we survey current
and potential mission works.
One is personal. What do I give on Great Commission
Sunday?
While the answer is ultimately a personal choice, here's
some thinking from the Missions Committee.
The committee hopes to reach at least the $100,000 mark . That sounds like a lot of money, but
it really has a 5% solution. Here's how it works.
Give 5% of your annual 2014 contribution (over and above your regular giving) on Great
Commission Sunday. For instance, if you give $1000 per year, the 5% solution yields a
contribution of $50 in addition to your regular contribution.
Some families can give and want to give much more. If every family at Waterview gave only 5%
of their annual contribution, the minimum target of $100,000 will be met.
Prayerfully consider how you can help Waterview extend its reach.
30 Days with Jesus
Saturday is the big day when we start spending 30 Days with Jesus.
Dustin Jones has produced a calendar/bookmark that will help you
read through all four of the gospels in 30 days. If you start Saturday,
you finish right after the turkey of Thanksgiving wears off.
Join the walk with Jesus and pick up a bookmark and commit to
spending the next 30 days with Jesus.
