Tidings “Reach UP in Christ, Reach IN with Christ, Reach OUT through Christ”

Volume 19, Issue Seven July 2019

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ;

And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. ~Mark 6:31-32

Generally, summertime is vacation-time. At least it was for me during the two months of summer in Vermont. We had to get in as much vacationing as possible during July and August. June was all rain all the time and by September 1st, the leaves were beginning to turn to red and yellow and orange; the official colors of fall in New England. Lutheran Here, it’s a little different. We have “summer weather” almost all twelve months! Church Though, we like to complain when the temperature dips below 68.

Food goes into people's homes rather than the landfill; the donor stores get great publicity, and their people feel like they're helping others and, last but not least, the people “Nothing to Give" who are strapped for cash get to feel good about them- selves because they're paying for the food they are putting Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries on the table. And people get to pay what they are able or By Pastor Ken Klaus, Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran what the food is worth to them. Hour In the 16th chapter of Matthew, the Savior asked, "What Matthew 16:26 - (Jesus said) "For what will it profit a will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and for- man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or feits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his what shall a man give in return for his soul?" soul?" It was the Savior's way of asking, "What is your soul worth to you?" Last week my vehicle was in the shop for an oil change. Please note that at the beginning of His question Jesus With nothing else to do, I wandered around the dealer's supplies part of the answer for which He is looking. He showroom.

Then I looked at the price tag: more than $65,000. That was way beyond my price range. No, you've got nothing to give for your soul's salvation. You don't, but Jesus did. Nowadays there are a lot of things in our budget that can be pretty expensive. I've talked to more than one family On Calvary's cross God's sinless Son carried our sins and who cringe every time it has to go to the grocery store to gave His life, so we might live forever. It was a wondrous stock up on a month's supplies. gift. Jesus paid what God felt we were worth. Thanks be to God! This takes me to a new Toronto food store called Feed It Forward.

It was a success because so many people brought their time and talents together, as a church fundraiser, and had a great time. To serve others is a commandment of Jesus and doing something you love, certainly is not work.
