Spur one another on to faith and good deeds......

As a college coach, it was my job "to arouse, to excite, to call into action" my athletes for the competition they were to participate in on the basketball court.  It never ceased to amaze me the energy that could be generated in the lockeroom before a huge ball game.  As important as enthusiasm is, sometimes athletes can be overstimulated before a contest, and it can have an adverse effect upon performance.  But as a Christian, can you ever be excited to love each other too much, or to perform too many good works?  When is the last time someone attentively considered your trials, difficulties and weaknesses?  When is the last time I felt for another and encouraged my brother or sister in Christ to an increase of love to God or to one another? The proof of spurring one another on is seen in being fruitful in good works.  I pray that as we distribute the wheelchairs in Uganda,  our lives will stimulate and encourage the agape love we have for our African brothers and sisters.
