As you think of March 30, do you do so with a yawn or with great excitement? Receiving gifts is OK on Christmas but think of the greatest gift you have ever received. I do not need to tell you that it was the saving message of salvation through our Lord. His ultimate gift came from a cross and with suffering that we can never understand. I assume you are like me in this sense; you run from pain if possible. Our Father and His Son ran towards pain because of their love for us. I pray that you have planned to give a significant gift on March 30. For some that may be $40,000; for others $20,000 or $10,000. There will be those who can give a few thousand dollars and others a few hundred dollars. All that the Lord asks is that we give according to our ability. Here is a central thought regarding Mission Sunday: EVERY DOLLAR GIVEN WILL GO TO EITHER (1) WINNING SOULS OR (2) MATURING SOULS. It is truly a unique contribution, and my prayer is that each of us will prayerfully consider what the Lord has given to us so we can give for the souls of others. Jim Corner
