Random Notes

Pastor Jack Hibbs recently left his viewers with this brief truth journey:

Genesis 3:9, Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

Jeremiah 2:5, Thus says the Lord: “What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me, have followed idols, and have become idolaters?

John 1:11, He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

John 11:35, Jesus wept!

A friend shared this with me:

A pastor some 50 years ago talked about “pocketbook Christianity’ meaning people write a check and believe God is pleased and people write a check and the church is pleased.

What is of much greater value is time.  It is pretty easy to write a check and then go on with life. It becomes a much greater challenge to give time.
