[GCFL-discuss] Old cowboy goes to church

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

Good point, Q.  And thanks. 
 "The poor we will always have with us...Matt. 26:11. (Jesus said it - not 
me) 
Some people will never have what we call "church clothes."  I don't care who 
comes to church, rich, poor or in between, I am glad for them to come.  
Alcoholics, bums and prostitutes have visited our services and we welcomed them with 
open arms and love.  They did not smell good, look good and were not always 
dressed well but we loved them and welcomed them and it made a difference in 
their lives.  One old guy was a regular...Old Ben...bless his heart.  He was 
drunk, poor but he loved to come and we made sure he knew he was welcome - every 
time!  (he died recently)  So we cannot make clothes an issue - it is the 
heart that matters to God.   I look for God to change the hearts and mindsets of 
people...the word and the work of the Holy Spirit does that.  Our job is to win 
souls to Christ and the change within will become evident on the outside.  

God bless you abundantly today and always!

"Rev. Ev"
