The Family of God

While we have been busy in Costa Rica, (more on that later), Jim and Nita Tarter have been getting it done in India! They spent 6 weeks traveling to ATC fields in North and South India.

Sometimes it’s is just best to hear it straight from the horses mouth. I submit the following email as written to David from the leader of the movement in South India.

The older I get the more I truly appreciate the body of Christ, warts and all as my father-in-law use to say. It is the expression of God on the earth. None of us have all the answers. Baptists don’t own the corner on preaching the Word of God. Charismatics don’t own the corner on exercising the Gifts of the Spirit. Pentecostals don’t own the corner on demonstrating the Power of God. Methodists don’t own the corner on sharing the Charity of God. 1 Corinthians 13 says we all know in part and prophecy in part. The point is: We need each other!

Paul says it best. “For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly....” (Romans 12:4-6) For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ...For the body is not one member, but many...But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired...If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now there are many members, but one body...And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."...So that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.” (1 Corinthians 12)

Each one of my 3 children is very different from the other. Each one has a unique way of thinking and expressing. Nothing pleases me more as a mom than to see my children enjoy one another. We literally bless God when we, His family, love, share, care, and enjoy one another, especially in our differences.

Thank you Jim and Nita for giving your part this summer. Thank you First Baptist Pensacola and Grand Parkway Houston for giving your part to our family in India.
