ATTITUDE: a feeling or disposition you have

towards something or someone else. This

is the ormal denition or the word attitude.

We hear a lot today about various crises that

are occurring in our nation and world. Our eelings towards these

situations are our attitudes.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% your response to

it,says Leadership author, John Maxwell. I agree with him.

Our response shows our attitude.

We cannot control what happens to

us, but we can control our attitudes

about what is happening in lie. No, a

positive attitude cannot change the

circumstances, but it can change you

and your perspective.

Your attitude can be the thermostat

in various situations. As so many are

pronouncing doom and gloom or

years to come, our response is critical. As a born-again ollower o

Jesus Christ, it is imperative we are set apart by our attitudes. Our

attitude needs to be:

Biblically based: This means it needs to come from thereality of biblical truth. Our response and attitude towards

everything needs to be grounded upon the Word o God.

Spiritually sound: This means that our attitude needs tobe one of a spiritual nature, based on Gods Word. This does

not mean we shouldnt ace reality, but it means we remember

principles that aect our outlook, such as the ruit o the Spirit

and so many more.

Positively prone: This means that we set the toneby being positively prone on our responses to various

matters. Dont worry about whether the negative side is being

represented. It will be. In act, the masses tilt to the negative.

However, this is the moment our message should stand up and

be dierent. The message o Christ is a distinct message, one

that meets lie at its most critical moments.

Thereore, as you walk through lie, walk and talk with a

biblically-based, spiritually-sound, and positively-prone

attitude. When you do so, you will be so dierent than the

loud noises occurring in the world that you will grab the attentiono people. When this occurs, be aithul to share the message

o Jesus with them and the hope o His salvation.

Folks, we have the answer. Count on this today: God is in control,

Jesus is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is with us through all we will

ace in lie. Now that is something worth being more than

positive about.

Its time to adjust our attitudes as Christ-ollowers.

A message from Dr. Ronnie Floyd, Senior Pastor

We cannot controlwhat happens to us,

but we can controlour attitudes aboutwhat is happening

Disaster Relief volunteers work together

to move debris at a home in Springdale.

Storm


5/12

W

5March 2009

hen Patricia Purdon heard the

sound of a pine tree fall on herroof and shattering glass of

windows being broken on the

evening of Tuesday, January 27,

she knew that she wouldnt be

sleeping that night.

Patricia, 71, and her sister live in a mobile home, and ater the

devastation o the ice storm that hit Northwest Arkansas, she

wondered how she would ever get things cleaned up. Several

days later, she opened her paper and saw that the Southern Baptist

Disaster Relie teams were available or chainsaw recovery and knew

she needed to call First Baptist Church o Springdale. I picked up

my purse and things and came right down, she recalls.

Southern Baptist Disaster Relie teams began streaming into

Springdale immediately ollowing the storm. Within the ollowing

two weeks, 450 applications or assistance with debris, limbs, and

chainsaw work came pouring in. Over one

hundred trained Disaster Relie workers

rom around the country came to minister

to those aected by this catastrophic storm.

Men and women rom Louisiana, Oklahoma,

and all over the state o Arkansas tirelessly

gave o themselves to meet the needs o

those who didnt know where to turn. Using First Baptist Church o

Springdale as their home base, teams went out daily with chainsaws,

Bobcats, pole saws, and ladders to assess damage and begin cleanup.

Patricia wept as she described what happened when the group came

to work at her home. Their generosity, their testimonies, the act

that they prayed with me they just went above and beyond whatI had imagined.

In times o uncertainty and trouble, where do you turn? For many,

there is great comort in knowing that the church is there in both

good times and bad. Many o the applications or chainsaw

assistance came rom those who did not attend our church. They

came in rom every stage and walk o lie, and yet the cry was the

same with each: What do I do?The Lord used a seemingly

destructive situation to mobilize His children or going out and

serving others, and at the same time, praying and sharing the

Gospel with them. What an incredible platorm or sharing His love!

Dr. Debbie Hardwick-Smith, principal at Parson Hills Elementary in

Springdale, was able to experience that love rsthand. On a sunny,

cold, Wednesday aternoon, 12 Shiloh Christian School ootball

players went to get their hands dirty in a dierent kind o way than

they normally did. Working alongside Disaster Relie workers, the

students were able to clear limbs and debris that Dr. Hardwick-Smith

credits as the reason her elementary students were able to get back

out onto the playground or the rst time

since the storm.

There is deep value that comes rom serving

others. Jesus shared this in Matthew 20:28:

just as the Son of Man did not come to be

served, but to serve, and to give His life as a

ransom for many. We have the opportunity as a church to do that on

a daily basis, not just during the disasters o lie. On two Saturdays

during the month o February, people rom First Baptist Church o

Springdale and The Church at Pinnacle Hillsmany o whom hadnt

even cleaned their own yardstook part in getting out into the

community or cleanup. A total o 5,614 volunteer man hours weregiven in the two and a hal weeks ollowing the disaster, and 798

volunteers helped with the eort. While there are still 31 homes that

are let to be completed, as a church, we were able to help 419

amilies with assistance. We praise God or that. What it all comes

down to is this get out into your neighborhoods and look or

opportunities to serve. Ask God to show you how to be a blessing

to those around, then go or it. Youll be blessed, and God will be

honored. There is no better way to be like Jesus than to serve!

they just went

above and beyond

what I had imagined.
