Catch Up

In case you guys missed out on our volunteer meeting last Thursday, here is a nugget that Miss Rissa shared with us on how to make an impact! Check it out below:

TO MAKE A CRATER SIZED IMPACT I SHOULD…

1 LOVE GOD & LOVE PEOPLE – THE BIG ENCHILADA

Romans, chapter 12, verse 9,
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

The Kingdom of God is built by building right relationships.

2 SERVE WHEN I WANT TO RESERVE

Verse 11,
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

Serving the LORD is the antidote to a dwindling passion.

3 MAJOR ON THE MINORS

Verse 13,
“Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

The little things done to the littlest among us can have the biggest eternal IMPACT.

Matthew 10:42,
“And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.”

4 SPEAK KINDLY WHEN I WANT TO CUSS

Verse 14,
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.”

UNITY doesn’t play favorites.

5 BE A HIPPY: MAKE PEACE

Verse 17,
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone… Verse 21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Doing good is a surprisingly effective offensive tactic.
