Sunday Words of Encouragement - February 14, 2010

Our Pastor preached on "Valentine Dreams" today. Not the myths of "love is enough", but the true characteristics of love as found in God's word that apply to all relationships. Philippians 2:1-2:
encouragement
comfort
fellowship
tenderness
compassion and
like-minded

I was looking for a different song but came upon this one. It is "perfect" for the book blog too! If you watch you will see why!

Verses for Today:

Philippians 2:1-2

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

We have a faith clinic at our church for those in the community that don't have insurance. The Doctor came forward to ask for prayer for a cancer patient at the clinic. How awesome is that - to have your Doctor intercede in prayer for you!!
I wish to add prayers today for all those struggling with cancer.
