Curbside Street Ministry Christian Fellowship

Christ's love compels us to be broken for the good of others - to live gregarious hospitality and generosity.

"AS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO ONE MAN SHARPENS ANOTHER." Proverbs 27:17 NIV

THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY: Why all our best moral and spiritual efforts are meaningless without love ( Read 1 Cor. 12:31-13:13) If God could be described in one word, "Love" would fit the bill. The world defines this term in conflicting ways. But for believers, understanding begins with the Lord Himself, and in particular the usage of the Greek form agape, meaning His unconditional love. On the surface, such selfless devotion appears to be humanly impossible, and yet Jesus commands us to love each other in this way. However, we're promised that none of God's commandments are "burdensome," because the Holy Spirit enable s us to live beyond our natural abilities (1 John 5:2-4). In essence, this passage reveals the true Spirirt - filled life.

Forgiveness of all your sins and a new life in Christ are yours when you receive Jesus, by faith, as Lord & Savior. You can use the following prayer or your own words: Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in a relationship with You from now on. I believe you died and rose again on the third day. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Hel me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen.

A No-Smiling Policy (Read: John 13:31-35) Usually we're told to smile before someone takes our picture. But in some parts of the U.S. a no-smiling policy is enforced when getting your photo taken for a driver's license. Because of identity theft, these motor vehicle departments carefully check new photos that are taken to be sure they don't match photos already in the system. If someone gets a picture under false name, an alarm is sent to the operator. From 1999 to 2009, one state stopped 6,000 people from getting fraudulent licenses. But why no smiling? The technology recognizes a face more easily if the person has a neutral facial expression.
