"Out of the hearts of believers Showering the living waters of our care and showing concern |
Meditation Of The Month October 2008
While in India, our team visited a private school just outside the town of Namakkal. We were treated to hear the students recite their pledge: "India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it. I shall give my parents, teachers, and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy. To my country and to my people, I pledge my devotion. In their well-being and prosperity alone lies my happiness." As we approach our national election here in the United States, I can't help but feel that these sentiments should be our sentiments. Pledging allegiance to a flag pales in the face of devotion to the well-being and prosperity of people. As Christians, we seek to fulfill the two great commandments: to love God and to love neighbor. Let us remember that that is where our deepest allegiance lies and where our greatest hope resides. Blessings, Pastor Betty |
