Rather, she is a pattern of hospitality, support-

ing and spreading the gospel. She opened her

home to Paul and his team in order that Philippi

could receive sound teaching and Paul and his

people could find rest and refreshment. She was

also evangelistic, bringing her household to hear

and obey the gospel.

So, what is the conclusion of the matter? Let us

not make the mistake that so many make,

"choosing to do nothing because we feel we can

only do a little". Instead, let's consider what we

can do and do it with all of our might. Let's do

our part to make a positive impact on those

around us. Let's never just do nothing! MJG

Let's just do nothing Michael Gors

Edmund Burke once said "The greatest mistake man makes is choosing to

do nothing because he feels he can only do a little". This statement really

resonates with me. I often feel like there is so much to do and I can't contrib-

ute in a grand way so I simply do nothing. I feel so small, insignificant and

helpless when I look at the problems that our country faces, when I see so

many without Christ and know that most probably don't know it and likely

don't care. The world is so big and the people and its problems are so nu-

merous it is easy to simply say I can't do anything about it. So…I'll just do

nothing! What if Noah, Esther or Jesus had said "The problems are too big, I

am only one person. I can't contribute much so I am just going to do noth-

ing." The great things God can do with that one person who resolves within

themselves that with God's help I can and I will do something! Little things

that seem insignificant can actually be great things with long lasting mean-

ing.

Consider the men chosen to minister to widows in Acts 6. There was a prob-

lem that needed attention. Some of the widows were being neglected in the

"daily distribution". Simply put, some of the widows were not getting basic

necessities to sustain their lives. The apostles already had work to do, praying

and "ministry of the word", so seven men were chosen and given the task of

caring for the widows. What if those seven felt like they were too good to be

caring for widows? What if they felt they needed "more important" work in

the church? Well, the problem would have gone unattended and likely would

have grown worse. But fortunately, those men didn't feel like they were

above that work. They took on that work and did it well. As a result, the wid-

ows were cared for and the apostles could give full attention to their work of

praying and preaching.

Consider Tabitha, Acts 9:36. The bible describes this woman as, "Full of good

works and charitable deeds which she did". Her life was "full", filled to the

brim with works that were to be considered good and deeds that were loving

and charitable. Little is written about her but what is written gives a full de-

scription of this woman's character. scripturally allowed to do. She did not

endlessly lament her limitations. (Cont. on page 4)
