Or is what we post on social networking sites what we truly believe in. When we're in church and Bible studies do we say we believe the Bible is the Word of God, but when we're out in public, like on places like FaceBook (TM)do we neglect to bring such things up for discussion.
In the adult Sunday school class I was at today the teacher wondered why so few comments were ever added when he or others posted about the Bible.
One friend from church sometimes just posts a Scripture quote on Facebook, and often nobody says anything about it.
I'm thinking that I'll make a point to write something if I read a post that either quotes the Bible or says something about God.
Maybe a few folks could do the same. After, we do believe the Bible is the Word of God, don't we. And that if we're believers we are His children, aren't we?

Awesome Day At Church
Today was our annual Missions Sunday at church. Our Missions' Committee has been preparing for it for months and it went very well indeed.
One of the missionaries who spoke to the combined adult Sunday School class works with Joni and Friends New England. One of the most touching things she shared was how at one church she met to pray with church members with cognitive disabilities who actually help lead the group. I was reminded how when we compare ourselves with God we all have cognitive disabilities.
The other missionary who shared in that class is a woman who has been serving in Japan where over 99% are non-Christian. She's now going to be working with Japanese who became Christians while out of their home country and are now returning to live and work. They are brothers and sisters in Christ and they need support to grow in their faith.
During the worship service three of the young people who went on the short term mission trip to Camden, N.J., gave testimonies. Then the director of Urban Promise Urban Trekkers spoke. He leads inner city kids on camping and boating trips. He also leads trips of teens from churches around the country to the inner city of Camden where they help both with vitally needed volunteer work projects and with coming alongside kids who live there in the midsts of serious hardships.
God wants us to share the good that He loves us so much that gives us life, that He sent is Son die for our sins, and that He wants us to love one another in tangible, real life ways. Today's Mission Sunday at Brookville Baptist Church in Holbrook, MA, expressed that quite clearly.
