Christians must pray, we must vote, and we must serve in public policy life and at the highest levels of government. Christians must be more Christian than American. We must obey God, rather than men. Christians must stop supporting immorality by our entertainment choices. Christians must live by and stand up for biblical truth. Christians must not say that it is none of our business. Christians are not to hate sinners, but surely not approve of their sin. We must think biblically and make moral February 26, 2015 EXTENDED SESSION TEACHERS Sunday, March 1, 10:15 am Babies Patti & John Browning, Marsha Coggins Ones Anita Hardy Twos Jennifer & John Thorne Threes Carol Lewis, Paula Roland Sunday, March 8, 10:15 am Babies Anna Burton, Caroline Jones, Leigha Marlow Ones Cassie & Rod Burchell Twos Julie Faurot, Laura McCormick Threes Becky & David Carlee Danny Belk, Bill Blankenship, Matt Burns, Ken Carbonie, Guy Curlette, Greg Houston, James Murphy, Scott Norton, Wayne Simmons, Derek Woods AM: Larry Huys, Jeremy McCormick, Larry Riggins PM: Jeff Hester Wayne & Jan Duke, Patty & Larry Huys, Jerry & Edna Earl Jones, Susan Kurtz “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus!” decisions, decisions about what is right and what is wrong conforming to the Bible. We are all aware that our nation and the world are in an Islamic terrorism crisis. We have abandoned our embassy in Yemen, and we have abandoned the Yemeni people, as we abandoned the Iraqis and the Afghanis. Thus, Islamic terrorists are more emboldened every day. Christians must pray, we must vote, and we must serve in public policy life and at the highest levels of government. We must serve in the military. We are not to be blood-thirsty and cruel, but we must take action to protect the innocent and to protect free communication of the Christian Gospel. As to the Christian Gospel, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can bring forgiveness for moral sins. Through faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit of God can change a life and lead us into all truth. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ can bring forgiveness for any and all sins and turn hatred and anger into peace and love. The best way to defeat an enemy is for him to become a brother. I love you, Brother Allan PS: Please pray for Sunday’s business meeting, as the congregation decides on the nomination of Jonathan Jeffries as Minister of Education and Family. At the end of Morning Worship, we will go into business session to consider questions and then to vote. I encourage you to let elected officials know your convictions related to the Pastor’s Thoughts to You moral issues and defense issues we are facing as a state and nation. The youth led Sunday evening service is a real blessing. Our young people use their talent for the Lord. Thank you. Welcome into the North Shelby Baptist Church Membership!
