Word for the day "Time to make that change"
James 5:16 (NIV) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.I recently heard and read a story about a man who was arrested at a hospital where he went to get treatment for a serious animal bite on his leg. Why was this insult added to the man’s injury? That’s where this story gets interesting.The man claimed the bite was from a pit bull. But authorities discovered it was really from a ten-foot-long, 450-pound Siberian tiger he was keeping as a pet in his apartment! To make matters even worse, the man had a six-foot-long alligator roaming around his apartment as well.Does this strike you as bizarre? Irresponsible? Perhaps even a bit insane? It should. But think about it? Don’t we too often treat sin, a threat ultimately more dangerous to us than any tiger or alligator with a similar ambivalence.What sin are you hanging on to as a pet? It’s bound to have some serious consequences sooner or later. Perhaps it’s time to release that pet back into the wild. It’s time to make that change family of God!Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of December 2017 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Mr. Calvin Jackson, Mrs. Annette Straker, Ms. Ollie Tipton, Ms. Jacqueline Frazier, Mr. Kenneth Washington, Ms. Cynthia Waiters- Artis, and Ms. Gertrude Scott.
