Listen Before You Speak

In a conversation I was hav-

ing with a friend he said in complete

dismay, why is it when I go to a

store, any store, and I tell them what

I want, they dont listen and try to sell

me what I dont want? I pondered

the comment after the conversation

was over and realized I agree with

him. Why cant people listen and sell

me what I want?

I then thought about how this

might apply to witnessing and giving

our testimony. We need to show the

lost how Christ is the answer and the

only way to heaven, just like a sales-

man shows you what they believe you

need. We need to show Christ for who

He is to us, just like a salesman

shows us the benefit of buying whatthey are selling. But we also need to

show how Christ can meet their

needs, and we cant do that if we

dont listen to them and find out their

needs. Now that is what the best

salesman does and what we need to

do: listen to what a person says they

need and then explain to them how

Jesus can fulfill that need.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Paul

writes, For though I am free from allmen, I have made myself a servant to

all, that I might win the more; and to

the Jews I became as a Jew, that I

might win Jews; to those who are un-

der the law, as under the law, that I

might win those who are under the

law; to those who are without law, as

without law (not being without law

Thank you Church for helping the

Girls in Action raise $78 for mis-sionaries Jody and Ruth.

This will help them buy a mattress for afamily that came from Iraq with noth-ing, and will give Jody an opportunityto witness to them. Jodys reply on howmuch was raised, Thats great newsabout the cookies! Wish I had one rightnow...Im sure they were delicious.

toward God, but under law toward

Christ), that I might win those who are

without law; to the weak I became as

weak, that I might win the weak. I

have become all things to all men, that

I might by all means save some. Now

this I do for the gospels sake, that I

may be partaker of it with you.

Paul is not saying we should

compromise or become something we

are not but he is saying that we should

be aware to whom we are witnessing

and their specific needs. A lot of times

we forget to listen in lieu of our pro-

gram that we are following, getting the

decision or because we are afraid of

finishing the witness. So it might help

to remember what my dad taught me;

you have two ears and one mouth, so

listen twice as much as you speak.

The Week at a GlanceAnyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you; be honest anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous of you; be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best youve got

anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

Deacon of the Week: Jerry Gallagher 434.239.2253

Message from a Grandpa

My generation just might have been lucky. I had a drug problem when I was young, but Iturned out all right anyway.

I was drug to church. I was drug to family reunions.

I was drug out of bed in the early morning. I was drug by the ears when I was disrespectful.

I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents.Those drugs still run through my veins and they affect my behavior everything I do, say

and think.Signed, Grandpa

Many times we are asked, Who is my

deacon?

To help you, we will list the Deacon of the

Week and his list of families in the WLBC

Bulletin ENewsletter. There will be a

complete list posted on the bulletin board near

the church office. This complete list is

alphabetical by your last name. We hope this

will help you know who your deacon is for the

year. If you have any questions, please feel free

to contact the church office.

a message to Namaan, telling him to go wash in the Jordan River seven times. Reluctantly, Namaan did so and was

healed. Choose the prophets name from the list below:

A. Micah; B. Elisha; C. Elijah; D. Judah (See 2 Kings 5.)
