Can
God Trust Me? |
When you own
something of great value you want to make sure it is kept in trustworthy
hands. You want your money to be with a bank you can trust. You
want to be treated by a doctor you can trust. If you own stock,
you want the stock to be in a trustworthy company. As any owners
of Enron stock recently learned; It’s risky to be the stockholder
in a company whose leadership you can’t trust.
What about
you and me? Are we the type of people that God can trust? The Psalmist
says, “Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;
try my reins and my heart” (26:2).
The Bible says that each of us ought to “examine
ourselves” (1 Corinthians 11:28). From time to time
it does us good to take a personal inventory of of our lives—realizing
we are accountable to God.

For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

This Sunday we will be having a special contribution towards our
building program. This will help enable us to know how much financing
will be needed for the project.

next 5th Sunday contribution will be on March 31st. The contribution
on each 5th Sunday will be placed into the Building Fund.

ask that you remember this in your prayers and your giving. For
those wishing to make a special contribution to the Building Fund
— Envelopes are available in the foyer. Be sure to mark your

Each family is asked to consider the new budget and the building
program as they purpose what they will give.
“And
they came, every one whose heart stirred him up,
and every one whom his spirit made willing,
and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work …
And they came, both men and women, …
and brought a willing offering unto the LORD …”
Exodus 35:21-29
