In Peter 1:9-10 we read that Christians “are the Karla King speaks to Melville WMS On May 19,16 members and two visitors met in the church parlour for the monthly meeting of Melville Guild. Jean Bewley and Margaret Sweeney conducted the worship service with hymns, prayer and scripture from Acts 3: 22-26. Jean read a message on “listening”. According to your faith, she said, listen. We need to listen with care and find value in the speaker’s words thus nurturing a climate of understanding.

Karla spoke on “Emo­ tions” and it was quite apparent why she had won at the local, zone and area levels. She spoke with enthusiasm and conviction advis­ ing that we make control of our emotions a lifetime goal. In her role as president, Jean Bewley continued with business for the evening, the main topic being the Maytime Supper. Tick­ ets are available from all members of the Guild for May 27.

All are called by the Holy Spirit, have the Holy Spirit within them­ selves, and are equipped by the Holy Spirit through his Word to fulfill th at calling. We are to “live a life that measures up to the standard God set when he called us. Be always humble, gentle and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another. Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the pace that binds you together. Humility, patience, love, unity and peace are the true marks of Jesus. We who are Christians ought to witness to the world in such terms. We all need to realize that we cannot change the world by our might or power but by the Holy Spirit at work in us according to Zechariah 4: 6. We need to tell the world that “God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no differ­ ence at all: everyone has sinned HUNT AND PELLA WINDOWS & DOORS HOMERENOVATIONS AND GENERALBUILDING CONTRACTORS H.

But by the free gift of God’s grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.” (Romans 3: 21-24). Ephesians 2: 8-9 teaches anoth­ er valuable point: “For it is by God’s grace that you have been savedthroughfaith. Itisnotthe result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast aboutit.” Some people claim to have faith in Jesus Christ but their lives don’t reflect Christ’s charac­ ter.

Acts 4: 12 underlines this message: * ‘ Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.” May we be enabled by the Holy Spirit to truly tell the world about Jesus in all we say and do - thus being who we are to be and doing what we are to do.
