It’s entitled “Making, Taking, and Faking Love”

“Whether we like it or not, much of our self worth is rooted in how others feel or think about us.  If we belong to no one, we begin to feel that we are worthless.  Because of this, we will do almonst anything to belong to someone or to belong to something.  Se, unfortunately, is used as a shortcut to this love.  Sex can be the most intimate and beautiful expression of love, but we are only lying to ourselves when we act as if sex is a proof of love (teenagers).  Too many men demand sex as proof of love; too many women have given sex in HOPES of love.  We live in a world of users where we abuse each other to dull the pain of our aloneness…”

That’s killer right there, and dead on.

n’synced [in-sink-tuh] verb, adjective, noun. The term coined by Way of Life Community’s Pastor Wade Haskins which means to say “bye-bye-bye” to negativity in your life - whether it’s people or things.

1. Why are you slamming our church? I’m totally n’syncing you.

2. You’ve been n’synced!

3. I had to n’sync some people off my Facebook today.

One concession worker said “I’ve been here for YEARS and never has anyone done such a thing”. We didn’t want to take away from the profits of the concession stands, so we actually paid full price for 500 customers to receive a free hot dog at our expense.

We loved it and so did the grateful people that received them. Hope we can do it again in the near future.

Such amazing feedback from the shelter, the said every day of the week a church provides this service, but they’ve never had the turnout that they received from Way of Life.

Kudos to the families of our church for being so willing to give of yourselves and not expect anything in return. The shelter was so full that almost half of our volunteers had to stand outside because there was simply no more room to serve.

I’m thankful to be a part of a community, and to raise my children around people that value these things as I do. Lets continue to make a difference in harford county!

Live at Five: The Book of James (this group will be offered Monday & Wednesday evenings)
5 week series

Being on live TV can be a frantic, stressful time. It can bring out the best in people, and it can bring out the worst. Some rise to the occasion and some melt under the lights. That’s what the book of James is all about. Looking into the heart of people, what they say, how they act. Told from the perspective of a firsthand reporter - James, the half brother of Jesus - we get a great perspective on some of life’s most important issues. The book of James is about how to live life, and how to live it practically. It’s exciting, a lot like watching live TV.
