Newsletter of the Central Christian February 2009
Dave's Corner
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength." This is the first and greatest commandment.
February is the month of love. We do all kinds of things to show loved ones we love them. We spend time and money to get the right gift to show our love. We spend a great deal of time with them to show them we love them. The men of Central Christian Church are having a banquet to show the women of the church how much we love them and appreciate them. The men are putting a lot of time and effort and money into this to make this the best Valentines banquet for the women that they will not forget.
My question is, do we put the same effort, time and money into loving our Lord and God as we do our loved ones and women of the church? Who showed us what love really is? God sending His only begotten son to die for us. Jesus coming to die for us because He loves us. God and Christ are always there to help us and love us
no matter what.
Each one of us needs to take time and examine our own hearts and relationship to the One who loved us with the greatest love. How much do we truly love the Lord in comparison to our spouse, children, and grandchildren? How much time do we spend with God and Christ every day and especially on the Lord's Day? How much effort do we put into showing God and Christ how much we love them? How much time do we spend in showing them how much we love them? And how much money do we give them to show them how much we love them? We have to stop
and examine this very closely.
Let us love the Lord our God with all our
heart, mind, soul, and strength!
David L. Zeigler, Minister
From: Wendy Martinie
LOVE: A PARAPHRASE OF 1 CORINTHIANS 13
By David Sanford
If I talk a lot about God and the Bible and the Church, but I fail to ask about your needs and then help you, I'm simply making a lot of empty religious noise.
If I graduate from theological seminary and know all the answers to questions you'll never even think of asking, and if I have all the degrees to prove it and if I say I believe in God with all my heart, and soul and strength, and claim to have incredible answers to my prayers to show it, but I fail to take the time to find out where you're at and what makes you laugh and why you cry, I'm nothing.
If I sell an extra car and some of my books to raise money for some poor starving kidssomewhere, and if I give my lifefor God's service and burn out after pouring everything I have into the work, but do it all without ever once thinking about the people, the real hurting people-the moms and dads and sons and daughters and orphans and widows and the lonely and hurting-if I pour my life into the Kingdom but forget to make it relevant to those here on earth, my energy is wasted, and so is my life.
Here is what love is like--genuine love. God's kind of love. It's patient. It can wait. It helps others, even if they never find out who did it. Love doesn't look for greener pastures or dream of how things could be better if I just got rid of all my current commitments. Love doesn't boast. It doesn't try to build itself up to be something it isn't. Love doesn't act in a loose, immoral way. It doesn't seek to take, but it willingly gives. Love doesn't lose its cool. It doesn't turn on and off. Love doesn't think about how bad the other person is, and certainly doesn't think of how it could get back at someone. Love is grieved deeply (as God is) over the evil in this world, but it rejoices over truth.
Love comes and sits with you when you're feeling down and finds out what is wrong. It empathizes with you and believes in you. Love knows you'll come through just as God planned, and love sticks right beside you all the way. Love doesn't give up, or quit, or diminish or go home. Love keeps on keeping on, even when everything goes wrong and the feelings leave and the other person doesn't seem as special anymore. Love succeeds 100 percent of the time. That, my friend, is what real love is!
