Cybersalt News - March 6, 2016
Sunday greetings everyone.
Since resuming the Cybersalt newsletters I have not yet mentioned a new role that Mrs. Cybersalt and I have taken on together in our association of churches (www.agcofcanada.com). We are co-chairs of the AGC's Refugee Sponsorship Initiative (www.agcrsi.org). As some of you know, Canada has a program whereby groups of citizens can join together and bring refugees from around the world and assist them in resettling into new lives. Susan and I are assisting our churches in taking part in this program.
The issue of refugee sponsorship and resettlement is an emotionally charged lightning-rod for debate in our countries, states and provinces, churches and even individual families. For those of us who are followers of Jesus, our response (as always) needs to be an informed one first of all based on what the Bible teaches and commands us. With that in mind I humbly invite you to listen to my sermon on the Christian response to today's Syrian refugee crisis and ask God what He wants your response to be.
You can listen to "Jesus, the Stranger" at:

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

Trooper Delivery
One day a State Trooper was pulling off an expressway near Chicago.
When he turned onto the street at the end of the ramp, he noticed someone at a chicken place getting into his car. The driver placed the bucket of chicken on top of his car, got in and drove off with the bucket still on top of his car.
The trooper pursued him, pulled him over and walking up to the car he pulled the bucket off the roof and offered it to the driver.
The driver looked at the trooper and said, "No thanks, I just bought some."
