A lady went to the Pastor and said🙍🏾 ... "I won’t be attending Church anymore."
He said, "May I ask why??"
She said, "I see people on their cell phones during the service, some are gossiping, some just ain’t living right, they are all just hypocrites."
The Pastor got silent and he said, "Ok... But can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision?"
She said, "What’s that?"
He said, "Take a glass of water and walk around the Church 2 times and don’t let any water fall out the glass."
She said, "Yes I can do that."
She came back and said "It’s done."
He asked her 3 questions:
1. Did you see anybody on their phone?
2. Did you see anybody gossiping?
3. Was anybody living wrong?
She said, "I didn’t see anything because I was so focused on this glass, so the water wouldn’t fall."
He told her, "When you come to Church, you should be just that focused on God , so that you don’t fall.That’s why Jesus said 'Follow me.' He did not say follow Christians. Don’t let your relationship with God be determined by how others relate with God. Let it be determined by how focused YOU are on God."

This month's "Shout Out" goes to a very special young lady. We at FBCG recognize not only adults, but our amazing children who go above and beyond.

This month we give a GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT TO AMARA for amazing awards she has received at school this year, for donating her gorgeous hair, not once, but twice to bless victims in need of wigs, but for the enthusiasm, kindness and guidance she shows the other children in children's church. We love and are blessed to have children like her whose light shines brightly every time she is around. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
