decisions

se e y o u Su n d a y

Pa st o r s Ro y a n d Ke el y Mo r l e y

I wonder how many decisions

you make in just one day? Intruth, if you really think aboutit, we are making so many, sooften, it is hard to keep count.Sometimes they are easy decisionslike what to wear (dependent on theweather and the days events), whatto eat or what to watch on the TV (ornot watch).

Other decisions are more serious andshould take deeper thought and time,

like what path in education we shouldtake, what job we should apply for,who to marry, when to have childrenetc. These are not decisions weshould ever make in a hurry as theycan have a lasting impact on ourentire life.

Some people are naturalprocrastinators - spending hoursweighing up the pros and cons but intruth not really wanting to make a

decision at all. Others make snapdecisions without fully looking at theconsequences or effects on others.

Whichever camp you fall in - or maybeyou fall somewhere in between -decisions eventually have to be made.Jesus talked about two roads - onelarge and wide and the other smalland narrow (Matthew 7:13-14).Jesus said many are on the broad

road but ultimately it leads to

destruction but small is the gate andnarrow the path that leads to lifeand not everyone finds it.

Of course Jesus was referring topeople following Him, finding outthat real life comes not from doingour own thing, running off afterevery desire and ultimatelydiscovering none of it had meaning.Being in a relationship with Jesusmeans involving Him in ourdecisions, allowing Jesus to guideus, direct us, bring wisdom into ourcircumstances and grow in ourunderstanding of who He is and justhow much He loves us.

Decisions become easier when wedont have to make them alone.Jesus cares deeply about every areaof your life, the small problems, thegreat joys, the things that make yousmile and the deeper issues thatcause you pain. The biggest

decision you can ever make is tochoose to follow Jesus.

Jesus chose you, the question iswhen you stand at the crossroads ofthe broad and narrow road - willyou choose the way that leads toHim? This is one decision you cantafford not to make.

On Sunday 6 October we haveT i m R o b e r t s o n f r o m

Compassion UK with us tolaunch our very own NetChurch project in AddisAbaba, Ethiopia.

Tim will be bringing profiles ofchildren from this specificarea that are urgently l ookingfor sponsors . Please pray andcome prepared to help.

Following Roy and Keelys visit to Ethiopia this year wereally want to make a difference in the lives of families andchildren in Addis Ababa. Children living in squalor andfilth, some are even living in rubbish dumps where diseaseis rife. Through sponsoring a child with Compassion youwill enable children living in extreme poverty to becomeresponsible, fulfilled adults who are educated and selfsufficient. You could also consider sponsoring a child aspart of a smaller group if you want to help but cantfinancially afford to spons or 1 or 2 children alone.

Compassion not only help children but their work has adirect effect on the families, helping with food, medicalcare and skills training. A trip to actually see the need andmeet some of these families will be arranged in 2014.Together we can change the w orld on e life at a time.
