Love Your Neighbor

This is the last and most important commandment Jesus gave to his disciples before he was crucified. Are we doing that in our world?

In our little community of 18,000 people we are doing what we know to do. The economics of our community is really changing fast. We need to (each one of us!) ask God for his forgiveness because we have taken terrible responsibility of His creation and have not made wise choices. We have worshipped ourselves more than Him. We have taken more than we have given. We need forgiveness. We need God.

Our church is blessed to have people who follow nudgings from God. Because of those nudgings our church is serving 150 people, who are out of jobs, weekly with free dinner every Wednesday evening. And they plan to keep doing this all summer long and for as long as it takes until things change for these people. And other churches are following suit. It's amazing what God can do through people if we listen to Him. He is talking to you today and I pray you will feel the nudging to be that person who makes a difference in your neighbor's life. Go! Love! Be a blessing to someone today!
