The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, . . . without partiality and without hypocrisy. —James 3:17
Scientists have determined that faulty rivets may have caused the rapid sinking of the "unsinkable" HMS Titanic. According to researchers who recently examined parts recovered from the wreck, impure rivets made of wrought iron rather than steel caused the ship’s hull to open like a zipper. The Titanic proves the foolishness of spending resources on fancy equipment and public promotion while neglecting the "ordinary" parts.
In a sense, churches are like ships, and many of their people are like rivets. Although rivets seem insignificant, they are essential for holding the ship together and keeping it afloat.
Feelings of insignificance are rampant these days, even among Christians, and some do hurtful things to make themselves feel important. James says, "Where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there" (3:16). People corrupted by worldly desires for beauty, wealth, and power can bring down great churches, but people who are pure and undefiled (1:27) hold churches together.
As members of God’s church, we need to be "rivets" without defect. When we are pure (James 3:17), strong (Eph. 6:10), and steadfast (1 Cor. 15:58), we will be used by the Lord to keep His ship afloat in times of crisis. —Julie Ackerman Link
The task Thy wisdom hath assigned, O let me cheerfully fulfill; In all my works Thy presence find, And prove Thy good and perfect will. —Wesley
It is a great thing to be faithful in little things.

MISSION OUTREACH
Our church has a small church in Liberia assigned to us for prayer and support. It is the Gwisswen UM Church in Grand Gedeh District and the Pastor's name is Rev. Samson Dartu. Above is The Nana Kru Guest House needing repair which is the focus of a planned Mission trip to Liberia in October.There is still a spot for three lay people. Meanwhile the Port Huron District is hoping to raise $30,000 to take with them as a mission gift to help with the great need that exists there. To reach this goal will only require $5.00 per member. The Nana Kru Guest House was damaged from the war. Offerings are needed for them to obtain the material before the rainy season starts. Anyone interested in going please Contact the Port Huron District Office for more information. The phone number is 810 385 8840
