Email From Paul Gabler in Florida to us....

Jake,

Here are some thoughts I had Wed night, I kinda wanted to share them with the class. If you feel it is worthy could you post it?

I was visiting another church Wednesday (only cause I couldn't be with you all). The pastor spoke on not only the bible based church but also the fellowship based church.
The scripture used was Acts 2:41-42 which interestingly enough was our daily Bible verse for that day.
41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.


They took turns going around giving praises to God and saying what He has done in their lives. People spoke of all sorts of things but people kept keying on how supportive and caring a church(actually a family) should be.

I am thankful to God for sending me to and giving me a church family that does care and has love for each other. Being there and hearing them speak just reminded me of how great God is and how blessed we are to have each other, I believe we should not forget that... but that we should realize that not everyone, not even all born again Christians have that.

Being away just a short time has made me think of what it would be like to not have the YASM Fellowship. I would challenge each of you to think of what it would be like if you didn't have YASM. And with that thought... reach out to others to share the gifts God has given us with others.
There are so many ways to share Gods love...
