Which Tree Are You?
But be doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving yourselves. -
James 1:22
These two trees are identical in almost
every way. They are planted only a few feet apart, have the same
amount of sun and water, are the same age, same species and are
planted in the same awful soil. Yet one is full and green in the
heat of summer and the other is withered and mostly brown.
During the spring, there is no discernible difference in the trees. So,
what is going on with them? To be honest, I have no idea. But I
see two lessons for the Christian in these two trees.
First, we should understand that we can ’t reliably tell what is
going on inside a person ’s life. The person may appear to be
thriving in every area of life yet be on the brink of withering away.
As Christian family we need to be open with our brothers and
sisters about our struggles before the leaves fall off. Even lush
trees encounter drought and disease.
Second, we should take care to always be cultivating our spiritual
health through the spiritual disciplines in our lives. Time in
prayer and Bible study plus active engagement in worship and a
ministry of the church triggers growth in the roots that sustain us
in Christ. When inevitable crisis comes into our lives, we need all
our spiritual strength to overcome.
If your spiritual leaves are falling, please ask
for help from your brothers and sisters or the
elders directly. I don ’t care very much what
happens to that tree, but the value of your
soul is the blood of Jesus. Daryl, Billy and I
love every member at Summit and will help
you anytime.
Tom, for the elders
We love our visitors! We welcome you as our guest!
The Weekly Bulletin of the Summit Church of Christ
July 28th, 2019
The wife and I have temporarily banned ourselves from Amazon. We find it just too easy to spend on this platform. I really liked the “One Click” buy button. It was so convenient. Need some coffee? Just click the button. Need an extension for the power washer? Just click the button. And for the most part, we didn’t receive “cheap Chinese” junk either. The products were usually good. And if perchance we were not 100% happy – guess what – we just sent it back. Sinning is even easier. It could be just a look and a thought. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 (ESV) — But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
As a result, in this world, we have a constant war between guilt and grace. This battle will last until we breathe our last breath. And it is precisely this battle that will keep us moving forward towards perfection (Mt. 5:48) and our Heavenly Home. But we are in danger when we get rid of guilt through redefining or denying sinful behavior. Rather we should keep making amends through confession, repentance, and restitution. Friend, would you consider banning yourself from the contaminants in this world because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy” (1 Pt. 1:16).
From Neville’s Desk...

STOP AND CONSIDER by Steve Proctor
Job 37:14 “Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God." Elihu talks of God’s creation and how we can only “consider” it; not control it. Stop for a moment every once in a while, and just consider it. How amazing is the universe we live in? Look at the way the planets move through space. Look at how it sustains us. See how it gives us insight into our creator. The design of the universe and the laws of physics that govern it. The chemistry and biology that makes our bodies function. It’s all incredible. Even though we’ve learned to predict how the universe will behave, there’s a part we sometimes miss in all the pride of our knowledge. Sometimes the universe is wiser than we are. The universe knows who God is. The universe knows what to do with that knowledge. So, it does it. Psalm 19:1-4 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.” The very creation we inhabit screams the glory of its creator, the almighty Yahweh! How can we, the part of creation that is made in his likeness, not? Just as much as it proclaims his glory, it also listens. “Peace, be still.” How can we, the part of creation that is made in his likeness, not?
Praise the Lord! Hear the Lord!

LADIES FAITH DEVOTIONAL
“I Need” by Nancy Carnes
So often I find myself saying I need this or
that material something when in reality it ’s
just something I want and the longer I want
it (in my mind) the more I think I need it. If I
would just stop and think about it, I would
remember that God supplies all my material
needs along with all my spiritual needs. He
gives me so many more blessings than I could
ever count.
In Matthew 6:33 He tells us to “Seek ye first
His kingdom and His righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you”.
Although I have all the things I really need, I
still want more when the one thing I really
need is God, for without Him I would have
nothing, be nothing, or could do nothing that
would be right in his sight. Everything I have
and everything I do should be for His glory.
Why do I remember things I want but
sometimes forget to thank God for what I
have?
I need His loving grace and mercy most of
all. Why is it sometimes I forget to truly
appreciate and thank Him for being such a
loving, merciful God? I truly need that.
