Joe had been a faithful choir member for over 30 years! Joe recently had hearing aids installed but still singing in the choir! About half the choir members went to the director of ministry and complained Joe was singing off key and could no longer carry a tune! It was a distraction for the choir! All problems in the church eventually end up on the Pastor’s desk! Pastor called in Joe for a meeting and explained to him half the choir wanted Joe to leave the choir! Joe you could join another ministry in this church like hospice! Joe looked at the pastor and explained to him something that had been on his heart for years! Pastor about half the congregation says you cannot preach! Should we both leave the church? Joe promised the pastor he would open his mouth in the choir but not sing! I will look like a song bird without the song! Pastor Oscar Cope, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Fairburn Georgia.

The Most Important Thing! Ben Carson
The most important thing for me is having a relationship with God! To know that the owner, the Creator of the universe loves you, sent His Son to die for your sins; that is empowering! Knowing Him and knowing that He loves me gives me encouragement and confidence to move forward! Benjamin carson
