STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:      Amos 7:8        
“And the Lord said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘A plumb line.’  Then the Lord said, “Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.’”  One of the sins for which the Lord condemned the people through Amos was a disregard for the call of kindness, charity, and generosity toward the weak and lowly.  We can see here how seriously the Lord sees this!  And that’s no surprise when we consider how God’s activity toward us is built on kindness, charity, and generosity.  To act otherwise is to act against the Lord’s own nature.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
