What would happen if every church gave up their green lawns, and instead planted community gardens? Members of the church and community could work together, enjoy God’s creation, and be able to feed those in need with healthy nutritious food, grown with love. Is your church’s lawn feeding anyone?
And as he [Jesus] taught them, he said, “Is it not written:
” ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’?
But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”Mark 11:17 (NIV)
“If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.
Mark 8:34-35 (NIV)
Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.Proverbs 16:8
Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
If you care about the poor, as Jesus said to, I’m recommending a site to read.

A poor man’s field may produce abundant food,
but injustice sweeps it away.Proverbs 13:23
I’m currently reading Serve God Save The Planet by Dr. Matthew Sleeth. It’s an interesting and challenging book. He used to be an ER doctor, and he is now a Christian environmental leader. He raises a lot of great points about stewardship of the Earth, and the damage that our energy and resource plentiful lifestyles are doing around the world, especially for the poorest of the poor.
There is a new translation of the Bible being worked on by Thomas Nelson, and it sound very fascinating to me. It’s called The Voice, and you can buy the New Testament now, the Old Testament is still being worked on. On the website, you can even download the entire book of John to check it out.
Trust in your money and down you go!
But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.Proverbs 11:28
