Thought of the Month
How am I showing the LOVE of Christ to my family, friends and community?

FEBRUARY – THE MONTH OF LOVE
May we remember that God has called us to love not only our family and loved ones but to love one another as Christ has loved us.

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples: if ye have love one for another.”

1 John 4: v10 Herein is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. v11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Romans 5:8 But God commandeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” – St. Augustine

“I cannot love you as I love myself until I love God as I ought to love Him.” – Jack Hyles

“To love someone means to see him as God intended him.” – Fyodor Dostoevsky

Whether we were rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles this year I think we were all rooting for more Godly coaches like these below to help lead young men to Christ.
“God’s definition of success is really one of significance-the significant difference our lives can make in the lives of others. The significance doesn’t show up in won-loss records, long resumes, or the trophies gathering dust on our mantels. It’s found in the hearts and lives of those we’ve come across who are in some way better because of the way we lived.” ~ Tony Dungy (Tampa Bay Bucs & Indianapolis Colts)

“You and I are players, God’s our coach, and we’re playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there’s only one way to Him and that’s through Jesus Christ.”
~ Joe Gibbs (Washington Redskins)

NEW YEAR
As we enter into this new year, let’s strive to keep God in front of our individual lives. We each face obstacles that detour our time and focus away from God. Let’s pray that God helps us manage those obstacles and we continue to grow closer to him and work to help others know him. Pray that as a group Men for Christ glorifies God in everything we do. Specifically, pray that the MFC organization is able to achieve their stated mission of “To promote Christian Fellowship and the strengthening and establishment of churches after the New Testament pattern.” Thanks to Adam Hale for his past two years of leadership. Thanks also to Randy Herron and Charles Young for their past years of service and dedication. MFC has been blessed by their hard work and love for our Christian family. We look forward to fellowshipping with them in different capacities. Please continue to promote MFC in your churches as we look forward to a great year of attendance, fellowship, and strengthening of God’s Kingdom.

QUOTABLE QUOTES
“If this is to be a Happy New Year, a year of usefulness, a year in which we shall live to make this earth better, it is because God will direct our pathway. How important then, to feel our dependence upon Him!”

A boy, frustrated with all the rules he had to follow, asked his father, “Dad, when will I be old enough to do as I please?” The father answered immediately, “I don’t know, son. Nobody has lived that long yet.”

Lord, make my words soft and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing. Proverbs 16:24 NIV

A heavy snowstorm closed the schools in one town. When the children returned to school a few days later, one grade school teacher asked her students whether they had used the time away from school constructively. “I sure did, teacher,” one little girl replied. “I just prayed for more snow.”
