Hey Gang,
We begin a new series this week that is entitled, "Change the World." We boomers started into adulthood with big dreams and determination to change the world. Too many of us have lost this drive along the way, convinced that little we do makes any real difference. Others continue as eternal optimists, persistently seeking opportunities to fix our world. What are the secrets to continuing to make a difference? To putting our hard-earned experience to work in ways that don't make us feel like we're beating our heads against a wall? To informing our dreams with the wonders of reality rather than letting the few evil ones drag us down.
We are beginning with the December 12th lesson this week that is entitled, "Go and Do." This lesson is based on the parable of the Good Samaritan, and it emphasizes moving beyond merely knowing biblical truth to seeing needs in the world and putting compassion into action. Let me emphasize it another way - it's ordinary people ripping open their shirt like Superman to help someone in need. Wow! That's send chills up my spine just thinking about it, ordinary heroes today charging into action to help someone in need, is it possible, would someone really do that today? What do you think - are you a Superman, that's OK...how about a Clark Kent? Watch this short video below:

Imagine ordinary people trying to change the world simply by showing compassion for those in need. Be thinking over the next few days of how you could be one of these ordinary world changers that really care about what Jesus says when He tells us to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. Oh, and just who is my neighbor?
Take a stroll this week through a familiar biblical story and look for the truths that speak to you about seeing need and showing compassion - Luke 10:25-37.
Hope to see you Sunday, have a blessed rest of the week!
In His Love,
