HOW SINCERE ARE YOU?Just how sincere are you? How honest, how pure, how reliable, how

trustworthy are you? Think about those important characteristics and consider the original meaning of the word “sincere.” 

Sincere is an old Latin word that meant “without wax.” It originated whenancient Romans needed a word to verify that a piece of porcelain or potterywas whole, without cracks or flaws which had been covered over with hotwax.

Those wanting “sincere” pieces would hold the object up to the sun to letlight shine through them to make certain they were not defective.

One suspects that the light of Christ shining through most of us might revealembarrassing flaws in our character, yet no doubt we would also discover thatthere was a lot of soundness as well. The goal is to move away from

insincerity and hypocrisy and allow Christ to help us become completelywhole and sincere. (Copied)

THE SOUL OF CHRISTIANITY

 A Christ-centered life does notmean a life, in which one singshymns, reads Scripture and edifieshis neighbors by hanging texts onthe wall. One does not become aChristian by doing a good deed aday, nor by go-getting for religion,nor by engaging in economic andpolitical reform movements, eventhough these things are done fromthe noblest of human motives. AChristian is one who, believing that

Christ is the Son of God has thatChrist-life in his soul.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

When young Kelli said her prayers each

night, she would bless every family member,every friend and pet (current or past). Towardthe end of her prayer, she’d say, “And all girls.” 

One night her father asked his daughter whyshe always ended that way.

“Because,” she replied, “everybody elsealways finishes their prayers by saying, ’Allmen.’” 

In today’s Board Game lesson we will talkabout, “The Game of LIFE”. In this game thereare some things that happen by chance, andsome that happen by our decision. Your childwill learn today that we cannot let randomchance rule our lives and make decisions for us. God wants us to seek Him out and gainwisdom so when the pressure comes; we canmake the best choices. Join us today: 10:30amin Kids Church!

PASTOR’S JONATHON’S WORD OF THE WEEK

The other day, Ray Lewis played his last game inBaltimore’s stadium. After 17 wildly successful years,he’s retiring. At the end of the game, he took off his jersey to reveal a shirt that said, “Psalm 91.” I smiledat that. But deep down in my heart, I thought, “Yeah,but that guy was part of a double homicide.Whatever.” And there it is. I don’t believe in grace. Or,I believe in it for me, and people who have sinned likeme. But there’s a whole lot of people I don’t thinkdeserve grace. The problem is that, when we talkabout grace, we often don’t use one of the mostimportant words to describe it. We say, “Grace ispowerful and free and beautiful and amazing.” But weleave out one of the key descriptions of grace. Thetruth is, grace is offensive. Grace offends in its’generosity. Grace offends in its’ availability. Graceoffends in its’ depth. Grace offends in its’ willingnessto be controlled or own or manipulated. Grace isoffensive, and when I see people who I think don’tdeserve it, I am reminded of ultimately how

desperately I still need it. ---Jon Acuff
