Ten Little Christians, standing in a line,
One disliked the pastor, then there were nine.
 
Nine little Christians stayed up very late,
One slept too late on Sunday, then there were eight.
 
Eight little Christians on their way to Heaven,
One took the low road, then there were seven.
 
Seven little Christians chirping like some chicks,
One disliked the music, then there were six.
 
Six little Christians seemed very much alive,
but one lost his interest then there were five.
 
Five little Christians pulling for heaven's shore,
but one stopped to rest, then there were only four.
 
Four little Christians, each busy as a bee
One got her feelings hurt, then there were three.
 
Three little Christians knew not what to do,
One joined the sporting crowd, then there were two.
 
Two little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done,
differed with each other, then there was one.
 
One little Christian, can't do much 'tis true;
brought his friend to Bible study, then there were  two.
 
Two earnest Christians, each won one more,
that doubled the number, then there were four.
 
Four sincere Christians worked early and worked late,
Each won another, then there were eight.
 
Eight splendid Christians, if they doubled as before,
In just a few short weeks, we'd have 1,024.
 
In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,
You either belong to The Building,
Or to the wrecking crew!

What Are You?
 
 
What a truth. We are either building or destroying. It doesn’t take anyone special to destroy things. Anyone can tear down a house but not just anyone can build one.  It takes skill, ability, courage and strength to build something that lasts.   We have a choice in life.  We can be like most of the world and look for the flaws, the problems, the things to attack and tear down.  We can tear things, institutions and even people down.. Or.. we can be one of those special people who builds. 
 
 
Let’s make a difference in kingdom of God.. in the church.  Let’s look for ways to add the church and its programs. Hey.. Let’s look for ways to build people up.  Let us.. be the people who add to God’s plans instead of the ones who hurt His programs and drive people away.  
 
 
Let’s begin today.. call someone.. invite them to your church.. take them to Bible study.. be a builder.. make a difference!

 
 
 
 
 
TESTIMONIES
 
“Since coming to Orange Hills a few months ago, God has completely transformed my life. I
can’t believe how
dramatic the change has been!”
 
“The youth group at Orange Hills is amazing! They’ve helped me see
God for who He really is, not just guy up there that I can’t see or touch.”
