• I stand amazed when parents spoil their children by demanding nothing of them and giving extravagantly to them even when such actions hurt the spiritual future of their offspring.
• I stand amazed when preachers choose to present sermons with very little Bible but with much human philosophy and foolish stories that have no saving power.
• I stand amazed at brethren who attend weak and worldly congregations rather than meeting the challenge of Godly and scriptural churches that point us to heaven.
• I stand amazed when schools that call themselves "Christian" accept immodesty, snobbery, evolution, and other matters common to public schools - and then berate parents who will not support their compromising standards.
• I stand amazed at folk who believe millions are lost in sin and, yet, they have never tried to save a single soul from hell!
• I stand amazed at the bickering and gossip that prevails in many congregations instead of gratitude, compliments and encouragement that should build up the body of Christ.
• I stand amazed when envy and jealousy among preachers devastates the good that can be done when soldiers of Christ march together against the army of Satan.
• I stand amazed when young people, reared by Godly parents, give nothing but grief and sorrow to those who have generously blessed them since birth.
• I stand amazed at the shallow knowledge of the Bible so many folk have after years and years of attending Bible Study and Worship!
• I stand amazed when young men and women, in Christ choose to many worldly and ungodly mates that never read the Bible and pray. Why would anyone choose to marry a child of the devil? Don't they know they will always have trouble with their "father-in-law"?

"... choose you this day whom ye will serve... (Joshua 24:15).

Home Bible Study
The monthly home bible study and devotional is scheduled to be conducted this coming Saturday evening at the home of Mike and Karen Thompson. Please sign the sheet posted in the foyer if you plan to attend so that the hosts may have a general idea of how many will be present.

Children's Class
Our youngsters meet at 5:40 each Sunday afternoon for a period of stories and songs here in the auditorium before the evening services. The scheduled teacher this evening is Greg Littleton.

One of our greatest spiritual blessings is the care of our Heavenly Father. Even the hairs of your head are numbered. He knows you personally. Jesus said that he would be with us always. In this respect should we worry about this crisis or that crisis?
