Throughout the summer quarter, our Standard Lesson Commentary has focused on the Christian Commitment in Today’s World. The teachings that have been brought forth by God through Brother Calton Oxendine and Brother Tim Locklear has taught us that even though we tell people we love them ‘love’ is an action word that must be shown. On August 21, 2010, as Sister Bonnie Locklear’s anticipated knee surgery drew near, this love was put into action through the teamwork of God, the Union Chapel Holiness Methodist Church Brotherhood, and the Union Chapel Holiness Methodist Church Adult #2 class by building her a wheelchair ramp. Members met on the Saturday date and accomplished the mission in 3 hours in order to give her more accessibility to her home after the surgery. Christians must continue to apply God’s word to their lives and do the will that God has commissioned to be done. We ask that you remember Sister Bonnie’s surgery and recovery as well as remembering our church members in carrying on the work of the Lord. As the day came to an end and reflecting on the work completed, we must always remember the very important scriptures that God has made available for us to use for him. One important scripture applied for today’s mission would be Philippians 2:13: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure”.
