(Evening Worship)
We are living in uncertain political and economic times.
In these times, we must …walk by faith, not by sight”
(2 Corinthians 5:7). What is faith; and, what is sight?
Hebrews 11:1 states, “Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The
word “sight” indicates the ability to see something
through earthly eyes. Sight enables us to see people
and material things, while faith gives us insight to
understand God and His plan for our lives.
When we are hurting, we can turn to God for help.
Paul did, and God spoke to him with these words,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is
made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Our
weakness, our hurting, our cries to God for help bring
us into a closer relationship with the Father and, at
the same time, deepen our worship and invite God’s
strength into our lives.
By faith, we serve a living God whom we cannot see.
By faith, we are able to experience love beyond human
comprehension. By faith, we are able to ride out the
storms of life. American heroine Helen Keller, shortly
before her sixtieth birthday, expressed pity for those
who have eyes, yet do not see. Her long years of
physical blindness gave her a spiritual insight which
enabled her to understand and enjoy life. She said, “If
the blind put their hand in God’s they find their way
more surely than those who see but have not faith or
purpose.”---Western Recorder
“Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light…gave
proof through the night that our flag was still there. “ If
we are to remain the land of the free and the home of
the brave, we must …walk by faith, not by sight.
In His Love,Andy
From Pastor Andy... Men’s
MinistryMen’s Prayer Breakfast

Great Hymns of the Faith
The Adult Choir is preparing for a Great Hymns
of the Faith concert to be presented on Sunday,
August 9, at 6:30 p.m. during the evening worship
time. As the name indicates, the concert will
feature arrangements of some of the greatest
hymns of all times, including Amazing Grace,
Great Is Thy Faithfulness, Jesus Saves, How Great
Thou Art, and To God Be the Glory.
During the concert weekend, Dr. Tom Smith will
be our guest clinician and conductor. Dr. Smith
is former director of the Auburn University
Singers and Choir. He began directing the
Auburn University choir in 1973 and continued
over 30 years while, at the same time, leading worship at Providence Baptist Church in Opelika. It will be an honor for
our choir to be under his direction to learn and worship.
What I have learned about the great hymns is that, when written, they all contained a fresh, timeless message and
unforgettable melody. The Baptist Hymnal contains hundreds of hymns; but, when it comes right down to it, there are
about 75 that have become famous. And, several of them have continued as favorites during our generation.
The arrangement of How Great Thou Art that we enjoy now was made popular by the Billy Graham Crusade during
the late 1950s and early 1960s. It’s most famous singer,
George Beverly Shea, is still living in North Carolina;
and a person my brother knows just installed a new
plasma TV in Shea’s home. Shea is 100 years old and I
think they gave him a lifetime warranty on the TV.
Music certainly evolves over time. Even the hymns we
enjoy, such as Amazing Grace, change their structure
and have verses added. The 5th stanza to Amazing
Grace – When we’ve been there ten thousand years
– was added in hymnals in the early 1900’s. Recently,
Chris Tomlin composed a new chorus to the hymn
which, I believe, will become a permanent part of this
most popular hymn of all time.
Let’s all take advantage of this opportunity to worship
together through the singing of these great hymns.
We will make a recording of the choir to mark this
event at Taylor Road Baptist Church. I hope you will
plan to attend with your family, invite your friends and
neighbors, and pray for the choir as we prepare the
music. Join us Sunday night, August 9, at 6:30 p.m.!!!
Let’s Sing Together,
Alan

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.” How, then, can they call on
the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they
hear without someone preach-ing to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful
are the feet of those who bring good news!”
