“When Was the Last Time?”

Friday, November 11, 2016

As you examine your relationship with God (2 Corinthians 13:5) and the things you do for Him as a disciple of Christ, think about how long it has been since you did some of these basic, easy things. When was the last time you…

*Visited a person who is sad and lonely, just to try to cheer them up?

*Told a teenager how proud you are of him (or her) spiritually?

*Invited a non-Christian to services?

*Told someone that you love them? It might be your spouse, your children, your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or simply friends.

*Sacrificed a personal item you wanted so you could give a little more money to the Lord’s work?

*Hugged your children for no real reason?

*Thanked the elders for doing their often thankless job of trying to help us make it to heaven?

*Invited another family to come to your home for a Bible study or maybe for a fun evening of food and games?

*Wrote a card of love and encouragement to someone who is hurting for attention and understanding?

*Read through the New Testament in your Bible? (You could easily read the entire New Testament in six months.)

*Wrote a note of appreciation to your adult Bible class teacher or those who teach your children?

*Expressed your appreciation to our great song leaders for the marvelous job they do in leading us in worship?

*Thanked the deacons for their hard, mostly behind the scenes work?

*Prayed for more laborers to enter the harvest (Matthew 9:37-38)?

*Offered to babysit for a young couple so they could have a date night without their small children?

*Thanked the Lord for the good church at Eastland and all the godly people who are not perfect but are trying with all their heart to serve the Lord?
