IN SERVICE VOLUNTEER IN YOUR COMMUNITY! For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.(Galatians 5:13-14). There are countless ways to serve God by serving in your community,Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. Its important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. Its the way in which we ourselves grow and develop. President Spencer W. Kimball counseled us to be careful not to select causes whos primary focus is selfish:When you select causes to devote your time and talents and treasure to, be careful to select good causes... which will produce much joy and happiness for you and for those you serve.Friends, You can easily become involved in your community, it only takes a little effort to contact a local group, charity, or other community program.In Matthew 20:26-28 says, It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.Finally,Brethren,The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. The fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.So, Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesnt mean we have to wash each others feet every day, but we must help one another.This is the great reward of service, to live, far out and on, in the life of others; this is the mystery of Christ,God Bless You And Have A Good Service Weeekend! 4rm Uzoking.
