Giving
Jesus observed people donating money at the temple treasury, with many rich people donating large sums. A poor widow donated two small coins, which was all she had to live on. Jesus told his disciples that this widow had given more than the rich donors, because she had given out of her poverty while they gave out of their surplus.
Gaius
Gaius was spiritually fit as his soul was doing well. He was also faithful, as others had told the elder about Gaius's faithfulness to the truth and how he continued walking in the truth. Finally, Gaius was obedient, as the elder hoped Gaius would help some brothers by providing for them on their journey, as Gaius had shown hospitality to strangers before.
Finding A Church
The document discusses finding a church off the FOB (forward operating base) and describes three characteristics of a good church:
1) A faithful church that holds firmly to God's word and does not deny His name.
2) A foundational church whose members persevere in keeping God's commands and will be kept from future trials.
3) A focused church that holds fast to what they have received from God and overcomes challenges so their crown cannot be taken.
Emitting Light
The document discusses two passages from the book of Matthew in the Bible. The first passage talks about recognizing false prophets by the fruit they bear and how good trees bear good fruit while bad trees bear bad fruit. The second passage discusses how followers of Christ are like a light that should shine for all to see, and that people will see their good works and glorify God as a result. The overall message is about bearing good fruit so that people recognize you as a follower of Christ, and being a light for others that leads them to glorify God.

Editor's Notes
- As we begin this brief, I want to emphasize to you that while you have been away, your alcohol tolerance has dropped considerably. You may want to go out, drink or party at the same pace you did before the deployment. But, you must remember that you will get intoxicated faster because of the low alcohol tolerance. If you drink, don’t drive. You don’t want to risk your life or anyone else's. I’m Keith Andrews—Chaplain of the 1-101 Aviation Regiment and today we are going to take some time to talk about your midtour leave.
