Tip of the Day 6/18/12

99 Days of Summer: How would you like to help bring back some great childhood memories, save some money, and be green all with one simple action? Consider putting up a clothes line and hanging your sheets outside to dry. As a child I loved it when Mom hung the laundry on the line, but especially the sheets. On a hot day it was so nice to stand between them and cool off. The smell of line dried sheets is heavenly.

Word for Today, Huge: Just over ten years ago the Lord directed Richard and I to move to the St. Joe area and plant a new church which became Calvary Chapel Sunset Coast. As we talk to people we are often asked, "how big is your church" or "is your church growing?" The answer to those questions are not what people see with their eyes, you have to look at the heart of the people of CCSC to know we are huge and have grown so much we can't contain it. We have about 35 people when everyone is there on a Sunday, that includes the children. You see we haven't measured our growth by a head count, we have looked at the hearts and actions of the people that call CCSC their church. We are a body of servers, reaching out to others because we have learned that God's word tells us to be His hands and feet. We came here with the vision of "being the church" to this community and by God's grace we are huge. "You have a little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my Name." "Who has despised the day of small things?" "Your faith grows exceedingly." What you are doing for the Lord may look small in the eyes of some, but it is HUGE in the light of eternity.
