What Would The Apostle Paul Think of " Send-A-Card?"
In this writer's humble opinion, he probably would have liked them! St. Paul was contantly greeting and supporting his fellow saints:
- "Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus." - Philipians 4:21
- "I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand." - 1 Corinthians 16:21
- "All the saints send their greetings." - 2 Corinthians 13:13
- "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." - Ephesians 1:2
So, send an e-card to a fellow saint today!
The Apostle Paul would approve!
How Should I Use the Send-A-Card Feature?
- Use SEND-A-CARD to reach out to those who don't know Christ
- We recommend using the Send-A-Card feature as loving brothers and sisters in Christ. If others see you reflecting God's love, then they will be drawn to Christ too. It's like planting a seed, it may not grow immediately, but perhaps in time.
- Use SEND-A-CARD to encourage
- The evil one tries to defeat us through difficult times and discouragement. Things like illness can make us feel isolated and helpless. Sending a card lets someone know that you are there for them.
- Use SEND-A-CARD for fellowship
- Your church family is so important. We are part of the body of Christ. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. When one of your brothers or sisters has a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday, send them a note to let them know that they are an important part of Christ's family.
- Use SEND-A-CARD for practical matters
- Someone did something for you? Send them a thank you note! Or customize the "Hello" note with your own message
- Use SEND-A-CARD to recruit members for ministry
- Send a card to someone who you think would be perfect for your ministry. Research shows that personally asking someone to volunteer for something is much more effective than just putting up a sign-up sheet. It shows them that you have hand-selected them because of their strengths.
