commitment.

The Spirit
of Truth
By Pastor
Asa Dock
ery
Matthew
23 : 1 - 4,
Then Jesus
spoke to
the multitudes and to His
disciples, saying: "The
scribes and the Pharisees sit
in Moses' seat. Therefore
whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and
do, but do not do according
to their works; for they say,
and do not do. For they bind
heavy burdens, hard to bear,
and lay them on men's
shoulders; but they them
selves will not move them
with one of their fingers. -
NKJV
John 16 : 13, However,
when He, the Spirit of truth,
has come, He will guide
you into all truth; for He
will not speak on His own
authority, but whatever He
hears He will speak; and He
will tell you things to come.
-NKJV
Jesus tells us in John 6 : 63
that His Words are spirit
and life. Since the Bible is a
spiritual book, it’s not al
ways easy to understand.
Even though we may not
understand certain scrip
tures when we read them,
we shouldn’t allow this to
dissuade us from studying
God’s Word.
In the Old Testament, the
Holy Spirit had not been
given to mankind because
Jesus had not come to offer

The Little Things
I
“We can do no great things, only
small things with great love. ”
-Mother Teresa
A t. some time or another
most of us dream of doing
something big, perhaps
writing a great book or starting a
business that changes the world,
or perhaps performing some
amazing athletic or artistic feat.
It is all well and good to dream,
but it is the small things of
everyday life that make up the
warp and woof of our existence.
The small things are our
everyday interactions with our
family, our friends and our
classmates or co-workers. It is in
these small things that we reveal
our characters and cultivate our
truest selves. Often it is in these
small things that we fail, perhaps
by losing our temper or
otherwise reacting poorly to
minor things. It is also worth
noting that even when we are
trying to do something great or
are faced with some huge task,
we do it. one step at a time, and
again it. comes down to the little
things. The small acts of
kindness and courtesy, the smile
and the friendly greeting can
make a big difference in the lives
of those around us. Resolve to
perform these small gestures
with love and you will thereby
have done something great.
