Words of Love!

Dear Crosswalkers,

40 Days of Love boldly moves forward! In the news this morning I read something the government of Malaysia is offering its citizens who are in troubled marriages: Free honeymoons! Yes, for marriages that are troubled by the recession and global turmoil, the government will give a free “second honeymoon” at one of the country’s scenic islands or beach resorts. The only catch is this: The couples also have to go to counseling. This country knows the importance of strong marriages and is investing in them!

I wish we could offer second honeymoons to everyone, but we can offer a great seminar on marriage by some of the top Christian marriage experts. It’s called “The Heart of a Great Marriage,” and it’s tomorrow at Crosswalk church from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. I urge you to invest in your marriage by attending this quality event! Seeya tomorrow!

This Sunday our theme is “Loving with Your Words”. Here’s something interesting: The average American speaks enough words in one week to fill a 500-page book! Yikes! In our lifetimes, we speak enough words to fill 3,000 volumes. That’s 1.5 million pages of verbiage! From experience, we all know how hurtful words can be. But we also know how words have blessed and encouraged us. The Bible has a lot to say about how we can love other people with our words. I hope to see you Sunday!

Have you remembered to do a random act of love today?

Love in Jesus,
Pastor John
