Ezra 7:10 —"For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel." Just like Ezra, we all want to make an impact with our lives. Before that happens, study and practice are es- sential. We can't teach what we don't understand, and we understand best what we put into practice. God's word is there to guide us and keep us from making mistakes that have historically been disastrous. We were created to be a mirror of God. In order to LIVING FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL 718 E.

"I have been crucified with the Anointed One—I am no longer alive—but the Anointed is living in me; and whatever life I have left in this failing body I live by the faithfulness of God's Son, the One who loves me and gave His body on the cross for me. I can't dismiss God's grace, and I won't. If being right with God depends on how we measure up to the law, then the Anointed's sac- rifice on the cross was the most tragic waste in all of history" (Galatians 2:20 -21 voice).

Sermon Title: "How Hard to Say Thanks? " Jesus, as recorded in Luke's Gospel, continues some hard teaching with another Parable, this one about ten healed but on- ly one remembers to say, "Thank You." A nurse gives a child a sucker, and the mother asks, "What do you say? " Loaded down with packages, someone opens the door, and what do you say? Somehow Je- sus hits a point when he asks, "Were not ten healed, and only one says, 'Thank you', and this a foreigner? " It goes beyond the sim- ply polite to getting at the core of our being. Who do we live for and who and what is important to "me? " The God who gives us life also gives us so much more. Have we missed something in our rush to get all the "stuff" of living today done?

So many trials come in- to our lives and along with the business of life. These things can easily choke out the Life of God in us. But praise God, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be add- ed? God's order back into our lives—a peace that pass- es all understanding—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.

"God longs for us to be open with Him about our sins. He meets honesty and repentance with loving for- giveness: 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all un- righteousness'"—James Banks. What sins have you not been honest with God about? What's holding you back from confessing them to Him? Abba, Father, help me to turn away from the sin in my life and made a new be- ginning with You today. Josh Sanders, Pastor Sherry Julian, Reporter
