Word for the week: Can you spare a dime?? ((2 Corinthians 9:6-15)) In her insightful book The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes provides fascinating stories about what life was like during the Great depression in the US. At the center of the economic drama was “the forgotten man”, a term used for the countless individuals who were thrown out of work. A popular Depression -era song poignantly expresses their story: They used to tell me I was building a dream with peace and glory ahead. Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time. Once I built a railroad…. Brother can you spare a dime? An economic down turn changes everything for hard working people who lose their jobs. When that happens we as Christians should do what we can for people in need. In Galatians 2, Paul and Barnabas were reminded to evangelize and to “remember the poor” (v.10). Paul did just that- preaching the gospel and encouraging financial aid to those in need (Acts 11:29-30; 1 Cor. 16:1-3). During tough economic times, we to should help people in need- spiritually and physically.
~ He who has mercy on the poor, happy is her. -Proverbs 14:21
Final comments::The Christmas concert was outstanding!! There is so much going on in the ministry of 7Bridges. On Christmas day we took over 100 people under the bridges in the city of Atlanta. Last night we took all the ladies, children, and men to a Christmas dinner at Maggianos.
We all enjoyed a wonderful 3 course meal, music and lots of dancing!! You ought to have seen the ladies and tasted all the flavorful food. Such a great time. Words can’t describe the thank you I would like to give everyone for their help. The hand of God is totally moving in the ministry and to see everyone being used by God is amazing! So I am processing right now on how to show my appreciation for the love, work, support, and prayers that’s been taking place in our lives. Last year, we did a love concert to raise money for the ministry. I’m thinking Feb 14th Love Concert wont be to raise money but to show our love to all of you for what you have done in Gods ministry. The word of God is true in Phil 4:19 He supplies all our needs.
I am so thankful and so blessed by God to witness what he accomplishing in all our lives. So thank you and I love you, until next week.
GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!
LOVE,
Pastor 7 with 7 Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ.

We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last & the Least.
