Will Work For Friends

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Acts 4:32-37

Nor was there anyone among them who lacked. —Acts 4:34

Six friends have formed a home-repair club in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They meet one Saturday each month at one of their homes to work on projects that cannot be tackled alone. Having helped one another for 20 years, they say they’re now bonded together like one big family. A similar group has formed in Snohomish, Washington. Their motto is: “Will Work For Friends.”

The concern of these groups for their friends reminds me of the early church (Acts 4:32-37). During this time of great persecution of believers, they especially needed the support of one another. Some people voluntarily sold their lands or houses and brought the proceeds to the apostles, and “they distributed to each as anyone had need” (v.35). They were of “one heart” and “had all things in common” (v.32).

As followers of Christ today, we too need the spiritual support and encouragement of one another. We may be struggling with a decision about how to serve the Lord, or concerned about a problem at work, or unsure of how to discipline a rebellious child. These are good opportunities to enlist the advice and prayer of fellow Christians.

Through love, let’s serve one another—physically and spiritually—in the family of God (Gal. 5:13). 

Be not weary in your serving;
Do your best for those in need;
Kindnesses will be rewarded
By the Lord who prompts the deed. —Anon.

Christians stand strong when they stand together.

Bible in One Year:   Psalms 140-142; 1 Corinthians 14:1-20

Yikes....more rain. I guess you don’t mind after being so hot for a while. Happy chores.

Kathy!Thanks for having Robin Olds on the thread this evening.He’s a Hero of mine and he was a great proponent of air combat.Something that the U.S. Air Force seemed to forget about during the 1960’s.

If it were not for Heroes like Robin Olds we would have lost a lot more aircraft to the No. Vietnamese MIGs.

Good evening, TS....was it just me, or was FR down for a while. Nothing worked on my end.

Happy Labor Day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Labor Day, Mayor....thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[Tanniker Smith]

I don't know. My PC had a severe case of "DADDY!! I'M USING THE COMPUTERRRR!!", so I wasn't on the website for a while.

[HopeandGlory]

Good morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.

Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Prayers going up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh dear...that could be a problem.

[Tanniker Smith]

Problem solved. She and her friends are off the the Feast of Santa Rosalia. (And amazingly, it didn't cost me any money!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Haven't heard about early winter yet. Fairbanks had a very short winter this year.
