JOYFUL GRACE
THEREFORE, HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED
BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD
THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE IN

PRINCIPLES OF GRACE:

A. THE MORE YOU ARE AWARE OF
YOUR NEED FOR GRACE—THE MORE
GENEROUS YOU BECOME  TOWARD
OTHERS
B. GRACE CAUSES YOU TO BE
TENDER TOWARD GOD AND OTHERS

FOR GOD’S GRACE AND FORGIVENESS
YOU WILL BE QUICK TO GIVE GRACE
AND FORGIVENESS        ----ADAPTED

- C.J. MAHANEY

CHOSE YOUR WEAPON
NINE-YEAR-OLD AARON CAME HOME FROM THE PLAYGROUND WITH A BLOODY NOSE, BLACK EYE, AND TORN CLOTHING.
IT WAS OBVIOUS HE'D BEEN IN A BAD FIGHT AND LOST.
WHILE HIS FATHER WAS PATCHING HIM UP, HE ASKED HIS SON WHAT HAPPENED.
"WELL, DAD," SAID AARON, "I CHALLENGED LARRY TO A DUEL. AND, YOU KNOW, I GAVE HIM HIS CHOICE OF WEAPONS."
"UH-HUH," SAID THE FATHER, "THAT SEEMS FAIR."
"I KNOW, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT HE'D CHOOSE HIS SISTER!"

 

MAY THIS WEEK BE A WEEK OF WONDER FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
GOD BLESS YOU
SEE YA SUNDAY!!!!
