The Golden Rule is found in both Matthew and Luke. What does this rule mean? How can we apply this concept in our daily lives?
This passage by William Arthur Ward gives us suggestions about actions to live life well, show concern for others, and to be proactive.
Do more than belong,
Participate.
Do more than care,
Help.
Do more that believe,
Practice.
Do more than be fair,
Be kind.
Do more than forgive,
Forget.
Do more than dream,
Work.
At Birmingham First Presbyterian Church members participate in helping at Alcott School in Pontiac, South Oakland Shelter, Fort Street Church in Detroit, Lighthouse of Oakland County, and other mission projects. We demonstrate putting these principles into practice in our daily lives. The world is a better place as others are touched positively. May we accept the challenge for a Christian life well lived, and positively impact the lives of our fellow travelers.
Friends, life is short and there is precious little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us, so make haste to be kind and be quick to love. Amen. (Benediction often used by Rev. L.P. Jones)
Diane Bert
