BIBLE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Titus 3:ft-9 "This is a faithfiil saying and these things will that thou affirm constantly that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions and strivings a bout the law for they are unprofitable and vain." CENTRAL TRUTH God never trusts us with a duty without first giving us the time and strength to perform it. Have you ever taken notice that the people who receive the most criticism are the ones carrying on their work. There are three different groups of persons: those who make things happen; those who just watch what happens; and those who wonder what hap pened. The richest person is not the one who has the first dollar they ever made or earned, but it is the person who still has their very first friend. BIRTHDAY PROVERB FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 13 Proverbs U>9 "An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor, but through know ledge shall just be delivered."
