9, 2019 – Gleanings from Vance Havner “Too many
“disciples” are out for what they can get instead of what they can give. Many
often expect service but never think of giving it! Folks will never have a
deeper experience with Jesus until “Getters” become “Givers!” A visiting couple
asked what the church had to offer for their children as though they were
ordering off of a menu in a restaurant. Jesus said, “…take up your cross, deny yourself and follow me.” I wonder if Jesus
would be welcome in churches today that seek to make everyone, including
sinners, comfortable, with His message of selflessness and sacrifice?” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is that you would
be a contributor not a consumer!

Memory Verse Challenge - 2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. KJV
“A young doctor had just opened office
and felt really excited. His secretary told him a man was here to see him. The
young doctor told her to send him in. Pretending to be a busy doctor, he picked
up the phone just as the man came in. "Yes, that's right. The fee is $200.
Yes, I'll expect you ten past two. Alright. No later, I'm a very busy
man." He hung up and turned to the man waiting. "May I help
you?" "No," said the man, "I just came in to install the
phone." ChristiansUnite.com
