As God's people we're that physical presence through which people can experi- ence God's compassionate love for them. That's why it's important to never mini- mize the impact of any act of compassion, no matter how small. "The alien living with you must be treated as one if your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the Lord you God" (Leviti- cus 19:34). Jack Hamm, Pastor Karri Brock, Reporter STS.

We can take the whitest object we can find, like newly washed clothing, but when we place it next to snow it still looks dirty by comparison. Our lives are like that. At times, we may think of our- selves as morally good and decent; we are content that "we are not like other men." But compared to God's puri- ty we are defiled and dirty.

First off one of his co- workers said: "There is no God". Tom said, The next time you say that, stand a little farther away from me, so I don't get hit by a bolt of lighting if God decides to stick you down. The co- worker said: I'm serious, if there was a God, why would he let my mother wind up in a nursing home the last 10 years suffering? My moth- er went to church all her life and never said or done the first thing bad to any body. Why is she there? Tom thought, this is a re- ally tough question and If I answer wrong, I'm going to do more harm than good. So Tom said, I don't pretend to know all the answers to why things are the way they are, but I know God has reasons for everything that happens. Tom said, what would years no matter how small the chance. The man asked that Tom Wednesday, June 6, 2012 The Press-Dispatch pray with him, and he did pray with him, and ask for forgiveness and for salva- tion. When they had fin- ished praying, the man re- ceived the news that his mother had just passed on peacefully with a smile on her face. Tom said: Now she will al- ways smile, she is in heav- en now. The co-worker said: There is a God and my moth- er can see his Smile. Roy Stilwell, Pastor Pam Lemond, Reporter FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH your mother do, if God gave her a choice.
