Doing good at doing good. Although grammatically incorrect, that was the title of yesterday’s message, which was part of the “Pay It Forward” series. If you missed it, I urge you to download the message (http://shorelinechurch.net/audio.html). The scriptures referenced were Hebrews 10:24, 2 Thessalonians 3:13, Matthew 5:16, Titus 3:8, 1 Timothy 6:18-19, and Romans 12:20-21.  The common theme in these scriptures is DOING GOOD DEEDS. Pastor Eric challenged everyone to “pay it forward” in the community. Then he shocked the congregation by doing something unexpected and extraordinary. He gave an entire week’s offering ($7,100 to be exact) back to the people!  Sealed envelopes were distributed with cash ranging from $5 to $400. A few suggestions on how to spend the money? Pay someone else’s bills. Give to charity. Fill up someone’s gas tank. Buy someone’s groceries. Change the world. He only gave four rules. One: You can’t spend it on yourself. Two: You can’t give it back to Shoreline Church. Three: Do something for someone else (if they can’t do it themselves, even better). Four: Tell us what you did at http://www.thisispayingitforward.com/. So… what are you waiting for? Pay it forward, then let us know what you did!
