Don't hurt... help!

Don't hurt... help!

SportsFaith Play of the day from the Ultimate Playbook!

Zechariah 8:17 do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord.

Have you ever been a victim of a scam? I've had people e-mail me pretending to be my pastor asking for $500 in Amazon gift cards to bring to women who were on their death bed in a local hospital. All I needed to do was 'purchase and send them the codes... so they could get to the ladies in a timely fashion'. I texted my pastor, verified it wasn't him and let the scammer know that 'I'd love to just bring it them to the elder meeting when I saw 'him' that evening... Why do people waste talent on evil and deceit? God has SO much more in store for us. The scammer could use the efforts to legitimately raise funds for people in need, blog to make a difference or serve a non-profit. Don't use your gifts to hurt... use them to serve and have a blessed day!

Living in this fallen world is discouraging. I want to help those in need, but scammers are hard to deal with. That’s why I run to the Scriptures so often in my daily work. Good words, great wisdom!
