February 2013Love in Action
There is a lot of
misinformation about love in
our culture these days,
especially around ValentinesDay. Most TV sit-coms are
about lust and shallow
relationships, not deep lifelong
commitments to one another.
Whether we are speaking
about love for a spouse or
child, or love for a fellow
believer in Jesus Christ, we
need to understand Gods lovestandard. One of the most
important facets is that love is
much more than mere words,
love can be seen in actions.
1 John 3:18 Dear children,
lets not merely say that we
love each other; let us show
the truth by our actions. TLV
The words I love you are
meaningless unless followed up
by a lifestyle of positive actionstoward other people. This is the
sort of love to which we are
called.With that in mind, are you
able to say that you love the
people who call FCC home? Do
you actively work to promote
harmony and positive Christian
fellowship so that the world can
see we love one another? Ordo you merely tolerate others,
ignoring them by your lack of
involvement, etc?
Maybe this would be a good
season to ask God to give youHis love for others. Jesus love
isnt just some gushy feeling, it
is a love that was displayed by
giving up His life for people
who hated Him.

From Your Closet to theWorlds Needy
You have heard us talking alot about the FCC Clothes
Pantry ministry. But did youknow that some of our former
clothes are now being wornby people in Nicaragua? This
past May when a group ofFCC college students went on
a mission trip, they tooksuitcases full of clothes to give
away. Everywhere we wentwe distributed a few items of
clothing so that the I loveyou of the gospel would be
seen in concrete actions.
series oph
The series of photos on theright took place on a day-long
hike to some of the neediest.We gave a t-shirt and shorts to
an 80 year old man living in ahut on the side of a volcano
(he is sizing them by seeing ifthey fit around his neck); we
gave some to a family with anunbelieving husband, to some
children, and to a mother witha very ill baby. At each stop
we not only showed love inaction, we called upon God to
supernaturally heal and meetthe deepest needs of the each
person. Like Jesus modeled,the Good News is easier to
understand when real needsare met.
Lets never forget just howblessed we are next time we
are tempted to complain. Ourcastoffs can be someone elses
treasure - both here at homeand abroad.
