“…do not forget to do good…for with such sacrifices God is well pleased...” (Heb. 13:16).
“He that knows to do good and does it not to him it is sin.” (James 4:17).
A STORY ABOUT EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, & NOBODY.
An important job in the church needed to be done.
Everybody assumed that Somebody would do it.
Although Anybody COULD have done it, Nobody did.
So Somebody got angry, because it was something that Everybody could do!
Then Everybody got upset because Somebody should have done it, but didn’t.
Alas, Anybody could and should have done it, but Nobody ever did.
Because Everybody assumed that Somebody would.

“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (James 2:14-17).
I thank God that many members of the church in Milan are willing to help when assistance is needed. Thus many of the “bases” in the church are typically covered. But are they all? (Dennis will be discussing several “open” bases in upcoming lessons.)
A Recommitted Me in 2023!
