Elder Chris Crouse – Naomi’s Return
Elder Chris recaps Ruth chapter 1 and points out that as good as the house of God is, it is going to face difficulties. It is easy to be a member in the good times. He cautions not to leave the church during difficulties, but rather to dig in and support it. Naomi realized there was nothing for her in Moab. God had not blessed her there. She returned to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. Elder Chris points out we are living in a wonderful harvest in the house of the Lord. When we see one return to the house, we should do all we can to show our love and kindness.
