Last night I received a real education on how to avoid the flu on the street. I always thought that tapping your knuckles was just a cool way of greeting each other, but a homeless told me last night that many do this to prevent getting the flu. It can be very difficult to keep clean on the street so many do what they can to prevent spreading any type of viruses among themselves. We all know that the worst thing you can do is shake hands with someone and then rubbing your eyes or eating with your fingers. So shaking hands is out and tapping your knocks is in. At least this is one way to prevent spreading germs and the potential of getting the flu. Now if I could just convince my pastor at church to request everyone use this method when greeting each other in church. We could not only prevent the spread of viruses but also look pretty cool.
Paul continued to teach in the book of James on faith without works. He has taught on this subject for the past three weeks because he feels that this is so important. Many say they are a Christian but they do not display any fruit. There is no evidence in their life to support their convictions. In James 2:22, it talks about how Abraham provided evidence for his faith by obeying God and offering up his son on the altar. His actions provided evidence of his faith in God. He was justified by what he did and not by faith alone.
We served 60 meals last Tuesday with the assistance of 12 volunteers. We were a little short in the kitchen but they pulled it together. We appreciate all who come to help each Tuesday night and are really blessed by them in so many ways.
