Scripture for the Month: Micah 6:8 (NIV)

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you. To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Food for Thought

There are three areas in which, I believe we are to examine on a regular basis: 1) Doing justly; 2) Loving mercy; and 3) Walking humbly with God. People have tried all kinds of ways to please God (see verses 6-7), but God has made His wishes clear. He wants His people to be just, merciful, and to walk humbly with Him. For the real Christians, this shouldnt be a difficult task seeing that we are bought with a price. We have a mandate to glorify God in our spirits and our bodies which are Gods. So, in our efforts to please God, we must continue to examine these three areas on a regular basis. Are we fair in our dealings with people? Do we show mercy to those who wrong us? Are we learning humility from the things we suffer? Or have experienced? As Christians, these are the things we should be doing from the heart, which in turn become pleasing to God.

VISION STATEMENT
To connect the unconnected to Jesus Christ and togeth er grow in full devotion to Him
