CHARLOTTE'S WEB: TEMPLETON THE RAT

How many of you have seen or read Charlottes Web? Remember the rat? He was a very resourceful fellow, but do you remember what he always wanted to know whenever he was asked to contribute to saving the pig? "What’s in it for me?” He didn’t care about others so much as he cared about himself. He was only interested in helping if he could get something out of it that made it worth while for himself. Christian faith grows us into a different direction than that.
