This week at PWC we will be studying the story of Abigail found in (I Samuel 25) as she faced impending doom. She chose to respond with wisdom rather than react in fear. What a timely message for us to study! We will be learning practical principles to apply to our lives when it comes to facing challenges. Join us at one of our three metroplex locations.

While I was in India we took a picture in the center of this little bamboo forest. It reminded me of an old Japanese saying, “The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.”
This month at PWC we will be talking learning about the importance of being flexible when we respond to the challenges which come our way. We will be studying the life of Abigail. Join us at one of our three Dallas locations. Continue reading
I hope it was a Easter wonderful weekend as you celebrated the resurrection.
This past month, we studied the story of Ruth and learned not only the beauty of redemption, but also the joy of reaching out of our comfort zone in order to love another person. Here’s the key points from our lesson.
Positive Truth
Compassion means having the courage to step out of our comfort zone and reach out to share in someone else’s suffering.
Plan of Action
Choose to take the tough road at times.
Reach out and help in a variety of ways, both near and far.
Look for opportunities to help those closest to you.
Ask God to lead you and guide you in serving wisely.
Don’t just give a hand-out, give a hand-up as well.
Let actions, not words, define your compassion.
Be sure to mark your calendar for our April PWC luncheons:
North Dallas Tuesday April 23
Allen: Wednesday April 24
Grapevine: Friday April 26
I look forward to seeing you there. Don’t forget to invite a friend!
“As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12
Perhaps you have asked the question, “What can I do? How can God use me?” This month at PWC we are going to be learning about a woman in the Bible who came to a decision point in her life. Instead of choosing the easy road, she chose to reach out of her comfort zone and reach into someone else’s life with compassion and kindness. There are many lessons we can glean from the life of Ruth. God has a beautiful plan for each of us to use our gifts and talents for His glory. I look forward to seeing you this month, as we talk about wonderful ways God can use each of us. See you at one of our three DFW locations!

This month at PWC we will be studying the story of Ruth and her willingness to reach out beyond her comfort zone to touch the lives of others. Ultimately we want to ask ourselves, “What can I do to reach out and touch others?” I thought the following excerpt from Henri Nouwen’s Bread for the Journey offers a wonderful reminder that we can’t solve all the world’s problems, but we can do something.
Our Unique Call
“So many terrible things happen every day that we start wondering whether the few things we do ourselves make any sense. When people are starving only a few thousand miles away, when wars are raging close to our borders, when countless people in our cities have no homes to live in, our own activities look futile. Such considerations, however, can paralyze and depress us.
“Here the word ‘call’ becomes important. We are not called to save the world, solve all problems, and help all people. But each of us has our own unique call, in our families, in our work, in our world. We have to keep asking God to help us see clearly what our call is and to give us the strength to live out that call with trust. Then we will discover that our faithfulness to a small task is the most healing response to the illnesses of our time.” – Nouwen
…So we must ask, what is my call? I encourage you to consider the gifts and talents God has given you and pray for direction as to how you can use them to reach out and help others. And yes, that may mean stepping out of your comfort zone.
One thing each of us can do is pray. This month, I want to encourage you to pray for the missionaries in Asia. Go to www.gfa.org/women to learn more about women who are serving Christ in Asia.
