"But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with 
such
sacrifices God is well pleased." Hebrews 13:16

This week I had three instances where communication and its importance were 
impressed upon me. I am like the child Samuel- with help, I then "catch on". 
(1 Samuel 3:8.) Firstly, was a communication begun about a book that I 
mentioned to you last week. Another book was mentioned to me as being a 
positive influence of one of you readers. Secondly, on Friday I received a 
pictorial prayer reminder from a large missionary program. While praying 
through the hundreds of names, I saw one that may reopen an avenue of further 
interest. Thirdly, I got an e-mail on Saturday with the Subject line 
HELP!!!. A reader of this weekly thought was asking my assistance in a class 
discussion for today. I responded to them by furnishing a website for a book 
on the subject. Communication is wonderful!.

Biblical uses of the word "communication" carry a meaning far beyond the mere 
transmission of information. A basic study will take you to the N.T. Greek 
word that translates to English as "koinonia". Fellowship, edifying and 
sharing of precious faith is involved. 

Don't forget to do that in your life by whatever means you have at your 
disposal.

This final paragraph would find it's way to a good editors cutting room 
floor, so go ahead and hit your "delete" button.

Face to face is still the preferred way of communication. I want all facial 
expressions and body language to speak eloquently. When the Apostle Paul 
says, "And the rest I will set in order when I come" (1 Corinthians 11:34"), 
these were not threatening words; but loving words of a spiritual father who 
did not want to be misunderstood by some folks who were good at 
misunderstanding and making up their own set of rules. 1Corinthians 14:36 
would be a good place to begin a study of both books of Corinthians.


A fool does not learn from his mistake, A wise man learns from the mistakes 
of all.

Please communicate with me. 

His,
