The half pot was won by Debbie Naas who do- nated it back to St. Elizabeth/ Coleman for expectant moth- ers. Becky Mayer gave an in- teresting report on the recent D of I "Spring Fling" attend- ed by her and Regent Kris Lu- tz. The Indiana D of I Circles donated $21,000 in 2021 to St. Elizabeth/Coleman, their chief charity. Regent Kris adjourned the meeting. Door prizes of pot- ted flowers and handmade towels were awarded. Ann Minnis, Scribe, 812- 664-7695 would get up on their feet at other times, and go where Je- sus directed them- -out into the highways and byways. What might be achieved if Christians were more arduous in their efforts to example and to educate, to pray for others and to persuade them, rather than attempting to force cer- tain behaviour through the power of the state? As Jesus informed Pilate, his kingship is not of this world. His followers are in the world, certainly; and commis- sioned for service to the world, yes; but not of it. So ... are we going to choose to follow the example of the rulers of the Gentiles- -a prac- tice much criticized , you re- member, by Jesus- -of attempt- ing to lord it over others by use of law? Are we going to attempt to lay on others a heavy yoke, or are we going to share the good news concerning Jesus, whose yoke, by his own state- ment, is easy, and whose bur- den is light? REFLECTIONS Continued from page 10 preciation of what He has do- ne for us in Christ. As we are occupied with these "things of the Spirit" we find ourselves "walking in the Spirit", and Galatians 5:16 says: "Walk in the spirit, and ye shall not ful- fil the lust of the flesh". How much better to have our lives transformed by occupation with Christ (II Corinthians 3:18) and our position and blessings in the heavenlies with Him (Colossians 3:1-3), than to assume the hopeless task of trying to improve the "old nature"; always engaged in introspection; always occu- pied with the flesh! MINUTES Continued from page 10 before them in desperation ask- ing what he must do to be saved. Nowhere is he admonished to correct his life and earn the ac- ceptance of God. And so it is with us. Give thanks to God that our salvation is not based on our performance and feeble prom- ises to do better for we have all demonstrated that in our own strength we are powerless to be justified in the eyes of God. Our salvation is based on the same message that was given to the desperate jailer centuries ago. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household." (Acts 16:31) Nothing could be easier than becoming a Christian. Je- sus said, "…and whoever comes to me I will never drive away." ( John 6:37) Any notion that God requires more than faith in Christ as the requirement for justification cannot be sub- stantiated by scripture and plac- es demands upon us that are the requirements of servanthood and not salvation. The purpose of the Chris- tian life is not to work harder and longer to gain God's approv- al but to accept once and for all the atonement of Jesus. Once we can accept our eternal posi- tion in Christ, it is then we be- gin the difficulty of dying to self so that we might enter into a life of fruitful service—service not rendered to earn God's accep- tance but service which begins to flow as we choose to surren- der our lives to the living Christ who has become our very life. INSIGHT Continued from page 10 awaits you. You are expect- ed to tolerate them acting out their madness. People are turning to in- discriminate violent behavior to avenge feeling wronged or marginalized. The recent shooting of 13 people, and 10 dead, at a Buffalo, New York grocery store by a crazed kid highlights the danger. Video games, social me- dia, and movies are rife with violence. How can we, as a civilized society, expect our young people to behave when they are emersed in violence 24/7? "Fortnite" is the most popular online video game. It is a free-to-play battle royale game in which up to 100 play- ers fight to be the last person standing. Kill everyone before they kill you. Harmless? How many parents know what games their kids are playing, what media they are viewing, and who they associ- ate with? Remember the Col- umbine High School Massa- cre? James has this to say about our mad conflicts. "Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from the cravings that are at war within you? You want some- thing and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot get it; so you engage in dis- putes and conflicts," Ja 4:1-2. We live in a world drowning in madness. Jesus teaches us how to respond to it. "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be chil- dren of your Father in heav- en," Mt. 5:44-45a. Christ has forgiven us so we should reciprocate and for- give: "Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has for- given you, so you also must forgive," Col 3:13. The Proverb writer says: "A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention," Pr 15:18. Another proverb says, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," Pr 15:1. Live like Jesus and forgive. Don't be mad, but be glad in forgiveness!
