Sept. 26th Richard Russelburg & Shane Eans
Native hunters in the jungles of Africa have a clever
way of trapping monkeys. They slice a coconut in two,
hollow it out, cut a hole in one half of the shell just big
enough for a monkey‟s hand to pass through. Then they place
an orange in the other coconut half before fastening together
the two halves of the coconut shell. Finally, they secure the
coconut to a tree with a rope, retreat into the jungle, and wait.
Sooner or later, an unsuspecting monkey swings by,
smells the delicious orange, and discovers its location inside
the coconut. The monkey then slips his hand through the
small hole, grasp the orange, and tries to pull it through the
hole. Of course, the orange won‟t come out; it‟s too big for
the hole. To no avail the persistent monkey continues to pull
and pull, never realizing the danger he is in.
While the monkey struggles with the orange, the
hunters simply stroll in and capture the monkey by throwing
a net over him. As long as the monkey keeps his fist wrapped
around the orange, the monkey is trapped. It‟s too bad. The
poor monkey could save its own life if it would let go of the
orange. However, it rarely occurs to a monkey that it can‟t
have both the orange and its freedom. That delicious orange
becomes a deadly trap.
The world sets traps for you that are not unlike the
monkey trap. You constantly hear that if you just have
enough money, enough stuff, enough power, enough
prestige, then you‟ll be happy. Under that illusion, people
spend their whole lives thinking you must have it all.
The call of Christianity is unlike that of the world.
The world focuses on what you and I get out of life. A
Christian should focus on what they can give.
When was the last time you went out of your way to
encourage someone? I‟m not talking about the little remark
or that wink of an eye. While these things encourage, they
are conservative in that there is little required of us.
I have always felt that encouragement is something
you possess as a resource inside of you; something that
needs to be processed and replenished so it will always be
there at the ready when someone needs it. That means it
requires thinking and a little planning.
The type of encouragement I am talking about here
is what you might even call “scripted”. It is something that
you tuck away inside your heart like a necessary resource as
you begin your day. Then, when you cross paths with
someone who looks like they need some encouragement, you
reach down inside and pull a bit out and give it away.
The Bible gives us many examples of the power of
encouragement and none more apparent than the story of the
rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. This was a big job –– a
really big job. It would take skill, time and resources, all of
which were available in limited quantities. Yet, they got the
job done on time and as God had ordained it. Why? I would
like to think it was many random acts of kindness committed
by “God‟s prophets” as they daily walked among the stone
and iron workers, the carpenters and masons, encouraging
them, complimenting and praising their working spirit. They
became conduits of God‟s grace by which each worker could
individually taste the love of God. And, that‟s what we are
when we go out of our way to be encouragers. Look for
someone today who needs to experience God‟s love through
you.
Dr. Howard Hendricks writes: "Every disciple needs
three types of relationships in his life. He needs a „Paul‟ who
can mentor him and challenge him. He needs a „Barnabas‟
who can come alongside and encourage him. And he needs a
„Timothy,‟ someone that he can pour his life into."
Think about it,
Jeff

WOMEN’S MINISTRY
Will NOT meet Monday
September 13th Conference is Sept. 25th
It‟s back to school time! If your child is beginning to read chapter books, we have a
large number of them in the library for all ages. Below are some of them:
CUL-DE-SAC KIDS by Beverly Lewis. When your 7 to 10 year olds join the kids on the cul-
de-sac at Blossom Hill Lane, they‟ll encounter realistic (and funny) predicaments that point to
Jesus as the ultimate mystery solver!
THREE COUSINS DETECTIVE CLUB by Elspeth Campbell Murphy. It‟s Sarah Jane,
Titus and Timothy from the Three cousins Detective Club! The three 10-year-olds are ready to
learn about favorite proverbs from the Bible while solving more exciting, adventure filled
mysteries! Ages 9-12.
And for your younger children there are YOUNG COUSINS MYSTERIES for ages 4-8.
HEROES OF THE FAITH Each of these is a biography of great people of Faith, Conviction, Courage and Unwavering
Faith who help believers face incredible challenges to accomplish God‟s will. My personal favorite is Samuel Morris, a
young man that served the Lord with all his heart, soul and mind. Ages 12 to adult.
Watch next month for the winner of our Summer Reading Club.

Ladies In Action Mission News
Thank you, church family for the cans you give to our Ladies In Action group. Cashing in
these cans gives us the opportunity to give to mission projects. Also, thank you for the tabs
you collect. These tabs are given to Sunrise Children‟s Services so they can buy age-
appropriate Bibles for each child going through their programs. Both the cans and the tabs
are great mission opportunities for each family and you certainly “come through” for us.
We appreciate all you do for this ministry.
In September, the Ladies In Action will sponsor a “Christmas” box to be sent to the Grants.
Donation lists will be available at the distribution area as will the collection box. Be praying
about what God would have you contribute towards the filling and shipping of this box.
The collection will be for the month of September only. Thank you in advance
for how you‟re going to allow God to use you to bless so many others.
