Unselfish serving sucks the cynicism out of seekers. We all sense it—the beauty of someone doing something that requires some sacrifice for someone whose need is real and who can’t repay. We see in it a hint of the Cross, and sense in it the smile of God. We see the kind of heart that kind of serving forms in people who consistently live to give—and not just get and get and get until they arrive at death safely, as they too become more beautiful in their soul.
Our friends outside the community of Christ see it too, and they aren’t always sure what to make of it, but they are attracted by it. It sucks cynicism out of them and opens up dialogue. Join me for part 2 of our series on our PATHWAY to a Christ-centered life as we explore the circles of impact that ripple into eternity which our serving and giving create.
We have a very “low-hanging fruit” way to dive in to making a difference together this weekend; and for those who come to the Saturday evening service, a free meal! See you this weekend.
