F.O.R.M.

Good Morning Friends...

One of our small "groupies" reminded me of my Form formula.  It is a great "tool" to have - so I'm reminding each of us how it works...

When in a situation that  requires meeting or greeting new people (such as a small group) use FORM....

Ask questions based on...

F    how's your family?

O    what do you do for occupation (work)?

R    what do you do for recreation (fun)?

M    always leave a word of ministry

The Bible says...

"Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone."  Colossians 4:5-6 NRSV

"Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin."  Proverbs 18:24 NRSV

See You Tonight

Here's a thought

Good Morning....hope to see you tonight...and here's a thought.

Romans 8:28 (NRSV)

28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

Really?  Everything?  Sometimes this verse is a little hard to take.  But then we find...

Romans 8:31-32 (NRSV)

31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us,...

Oh no...the God card, yes, really and yes, everything...because

Romans 8:38 (NRSV)

38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Sometimes scripture is a hard inexplicable truth - but it is still TRUTH.

See Ya!
