There is a crisis erupting in America's streets. The need is desperate and overwhelming, and pastors are sounding the alarm for help.
It's sad but true fact that many who were once among the middle class are now among the poor and the homeless. People are losing jobs and homes every day. Sadder still is that shelters are starting to shut down at a time when they're most needed, leaving thousands of families out on hte street.
The Bible tells us repeatedly to show kindness to those less fortunate and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Mark 12:23 says that the two most important commandments are "To love God with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
When the pilgrams first arrived in this country, they formed communities like the first churches. Without each other and the communities they formed and the help of their neighbors, those brave pilgrams would not have survived.
Today we must follow this same idea of community and help the needy around us.
Metamora Church of God welcomes you to join us in service.
Believing Faith
"Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
The greatest thing that will ever happen to your faith is when the Word of God takes that eighteen-inch drop from mental assent in your head to believing faith in your heart.
