Merry Christmas J127 Ministry!

Dear James 1:27 Servants, Thank you all so much for your love for Christ show through your love for orphans and children in need! Sonia and I have been so encouraged to see God blessing and growing this ministry each year through your faithful ministry. We have a small Christmas gift for each of you that you will be receiving this Sunday - a book called Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches, by Russell Moore. I believe that this is very possibly the best book ever written on adoption. Pastor Moore, in a very humble and raw way, shares how his own experience adopting 2 boys from Russia profoundly transformed his understand of the Gospel and his own salvation. He gets to the heart of the many barriers people have toward adoption by revealing his own hesitancies and how the Gospel challenged him - and ultimately changed his perspective. I'm hopeful that this book - and the ideas in it - will be used by God to continue to develop our love for orphans (specifically, by helping us see the amazing opportunity that adoption is) and to better equip us to minister to the saints at CBC. Hope you enjoy reading it. Have a wonderful Christmas. In Christ's love, mike |

Golden Oldie It's hard to say exactly what
a Congressional Committee does-
but if your wife did it,
you'd call it nagging.

Golden Oldie The young specialist in English Lit, ...lectured
me severely on the fact that in every century people
have thought they understood the Universe at last,
and in every century they were proved to be wrong.
It follows that the one thing we can say about
our modern "knowledge" is that it is wrong.
... My answer to him was, "... when people thought
the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people
thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong.
But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical
is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then
your view is wronger than both of them put together."
-Isaac Asimov (1920-1992),The Relativity of Wrong,
Kensington Books, New York, 1996, p 226.

One of the annoying things about believing
in free will and individual responsibility
is the difficulty of finding somebody to
blame your problems on. And when you do find
somebody, it's remarkable how often his
picture turns up on your driver's license.

All of our social problems arise out of doing the wrong thing righter. The more efficient you are at doing the wrong thing, the wronger you become. It is much better to do the right thing wronger than the wrong thing righter! If you do the right thing wrong and correct it, you get better!" -Russell Ackoff (1919-2009
