THE BIBLE SPEAKS

I am the Bible, God’s wonderful library. I am always – and above all – the Truth. To the weary pilgrim, I am a strong staff.

To the one who sits in darkness, I am glorious light. To those who stumble beneath heavy burdens, I am

sweet rest. To him who has lost his way, I am a safe guide.

To those who are tossed about by the storms of life, I am a steadfast anchor.

To those who search for salvation, I reveal the Savior of the world.

I am the Bible, God’s wonderful gift to mankind.

WHAT MATTERS IS FAITH

Two of the most prominent individuals in the Old Testament are David and Moses.

One began to serve the Lord when he was very

young. The other began to serve the Lord when

he was much older. Whether young or old it

didn’t matter. What mattered was their faith.

One faced a giant, the other faced a Pharoah. The power of the enemies didn’t

matter. What mattered was their faith. They

both had to face impossible odds with little or

no help from those around them. They beat

impossible odds with God’s help. What mattered was their faith.

David should be an example to the

young. Moses should be an example to the old.

There are giants and Pharoahs all around. It

doesn’t matter. What matters is faith.

We should all try to have productive lives throughout our entire lifetimes. Try to be

a David or a Moses, and we can if we have

faith. (Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6, 1 John

5:4) Mark Dillon, Hichory Ridge, AR

PRAY FOR OUR KIDS AND TEACHERS

It is hard to believe that summer break is almost over for our kids and

teachers. It doesn’t seem like all that long ago that it was May and everyone was

talking about summer break. Now, it is the beginning of August and everyone is

talking about going back to school!

As our kids and teachers prepare to start a new school year, I want to

encourage you to take some time to pray for all of our students and all of our

teachers. Students and teachers alike have difficult jobs.

Our kids will enter back into classrooms where a good portion of the

student body does not live for God or have a desire to reflect Him. Our kids will

need strength and encouragement to overcome the trials and temptations that

come with being a youth in the United States.

Our teachers will also go back into the classroom and try to teach their

students all the things required by the state. They will also try to teach their

students how to use manners and be a person that respects others. I know their job

is made even more difficult by parents who are not teaching these things at home.

This week when you pray, pray for our kids and pray for our teachers. Pray

that they can stand up to the trials and temptations. Pray that they can let their

light shine. Pray that they can be a positive influence!

Proverbs 10:29, “The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous, but it is

the ruin of those who do evil.”
