REV. AND MRS. JAMES WILLIAMS Rev., Mrs. Williams celebrate 66th wedding anniversary Rev. James and Virginia Williams celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary August 11 at a luncheon for family and friends hosted by caregiver Christy Whetstine. The couple was married August 11, 1945 by Rev. Robert Chaney. The family includes two daughters, Sylvia W. Mason and Carolyn W. Edmiston, six grandchildren, five great-grand- In Psalm 95 we hear this call to worship: “O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pas- ture, the sheep of his hand.” With words like these the Bible tells us that we were created by God for fellow- ship with God. Of course, the Bible also says that humankind has rejected its role in God’s creation through de- liberate acts and attitudes of disobedi- ence known as. “sin.” Yet, the good news is that what we have caused by our sin, God has cor- rected with his grace. However, while salvation is a free gift, the grace that provides that gift is costly. It cost God his only Son, and for that reason, once we receive the gift of redemption, we need to face an important question. That question is: “How should we respond to the saving grace of God?” In the twenty-second chap- ter of Matthew’s Gospel Jesus gives a two part answer to this question. In the first part of this answer Jesus says that we need to respond to the grace of God by loving God with all our heart, soul and mind. Each of these words describe specific aspects of an individual’s personality or life that need to be given to God and tak- ing notice of these important words The Kings Mountain Herald SU ~ MEDITATION q helps us to appre- (ciate the point Jesus was making. The word “heart” refers to a person’s inner motives, so to love God with all ,say with Joshua, Dr. Jeff Hensley Pastor “Now if you are Kings Mountain unwilling to serve Baptist Church the LORD, choose : this day whom you will serve.. but as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15). Loving God with all our heart thus means being motivated by God’s - will instead of our will; by God’s mo- tives instead of our own motives. The second word Jesus used is the word “soul,” which refers to a per- son’s emotions. To love God with all our soul means to say with the Psalmist, “As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1). Loving God with all our soul means permitting our de- sires to be God’s desires and living in such a way as to seek and show God’s abiding presence in our daily lives. The word “mind” refers to a per- son’s intellect. To love God with all | our heart means to Wednesday, August 17, 2011 our mind means to pray as Solomon did, “Give your servant... an under- standing mind... that I may discern between good and evil” (1 Kings 3:9). Loving God with all our mind thus means to replace our sélfish thoughts with God-inspired and God- directed thoughts. One important part of our response to God’s grace is to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, but although these words describe specific ways we should show our gratitude, the larger point is that we should love God with everything that we are. It is this kind of all-inclusive love that shows gen- uine gratitude for the grace that God first gave us.
