"BEHOLD! I AM COMING SOON! MY REWARD IS WITH ME,
TO GIVE TO EVERYONE ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE." Revelation 22:12
How then should we live?
"Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, and your neighbor as yourself."
Mark 12:30, 31
WALK IN LOVE
Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy.
It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude.
It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
It does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. Love never fails!
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Let us not become conceited,
provoking and envying one another.
Galatians 5:22-26
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD
Who are we fighting?
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
OUR WEAPONS OF WARFARE
Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:10-18
OUR FOCUS
Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts, your minds, on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:1, 2
OUR MISSION
"You shall be witnesses
unto Me" --
at home, at school,
at church, on the job,
in the market place.
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER"
OUR MESSAGE
Christ died for our sins,
He was buried,
He rose again the third day --
and whosoever believes on Him
has everlasting life?
Have you believed?
"FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH; LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE."
1 Timothy 6:12

THE DIRECTOR'S CORNER
I keep discovering more about our heavenly Father the longer I'm involved in this ministry. I don't see Him dragging me roughly on to the right path and making me stay there. He seems to want me to make the choices. He wants willing servants, not slaves--my heart, not my work. So, when I recognize an unrighteous area in my life and ask God to help me with it, I can almost see Him smile and roll up His sleeves. He was waiting to be asked and He knows just how to do it--discipline, retraining, humbling, tears ... and surprises.
*Would you consider the battery falling through the floor of the bus a surprise? It wasn't a pleasant one: the bus was full of kids, hit a big bump, and it was raining. Though we were able to prop it back up and continue, I found myself a little strained about it, until I recalled a few months earlier having made the decision to be always willing to transport the kids and watch for opportunities to communicate. We did communicate that day. We can't predict how God will answer our prayers for correction and healing, but we can be sure He will.
