BRINGING GOOD & LOVE INTO THE WORLD



















BRINGING GOOD AND LOVE
INTO THE WORLD


Good is good-and it
Should NEVER be wasted
And when it is UNITED
With the LOVE of God and Christ


EVERY kind word-every good action-
Every compassionate thought BRINGS LOVE
Into the world


And CHANGES the world
For the better-
ESPECIALLY if it is united
With the LOVE of God and Christ


“For you
Shall eat the fruit
Of your handiwork


BLESSED shall you be
And FAVORED” Psalm 128:2


OUR JOB
Is to bring MORE
Good and love into the world


Even though we may not see
Concrete results-
For our efforts


You will bring FRUIT-
Good fruit into the world
And we will be KNOWN
For our fruit


LOOK at Jesus-look at ALL
The great people and saints
That followed him


NOT to mention cities-culture-
Music and art,etc.,


What about our fruit?
WHERE does our fruit live?
Where does our fruit grow?


“That person
IS like a tree planted
By streams of water


Which yields its fruit
In season-
And whose leaf


Does not wither-
Whatever they do PROSPERS” Psalm 1:3


“A shoot-will come up
From the stump of Jesse


From its roots
A BRANCH will bear fruit” Isaiah 11:1


And isn't that
The way that it IS
If we are rooted
IN LOVE


What else can we bring
But GOODNESS AND LOVE?


“You did not choose me
BUT I chose you-and-
Appointed you


So that you might go
And BEAR FRUIT-
Fruit that will LAST


And so
That whatever you ASK
In my name
The Father will give you


This is my command:
LOVE EACH OTHER” John 15:16-17


We will FACE tough challenges
In this world
It is then


That we MUST PERSEVERE
And WALK in the Lord's WAYS


Then-that we must walk-
The walk-that the LORD WALKED


For then we will
TRULY BEAR FRUIT


And BRING GOODNESS AND LOVE
Into the world


In Jesus name,
