Hey Team:

Recent events at our church have left many of us with yet another opportunity to "pray and process." Here are some of my thoughts at this time:

1. It is important to always try to do what you believe is right, even if it subjects you to criticism;

2. The more important question is not "who is right?" but rather "what is right?";

3. Are we trying to please men, or are we trying to please God? (Gal. 1:10);

4. When we forgive others who have hurt us, it usually helps us at least as much if not more than the person who needs to be forgiven;

5. Reputation is what others think about you; character is what God knows about you. We should focus on our character.

6. The Golden Rule applies whether dealing with friend or foe;

7. God is still sovereign -- He was yesterday; He is today; and He will be tomorrow.

We have two more lessons on the life of David. Let's finish strong.

Congratulations to Tim and Kelly Workman! Their oldest son, Spencer, was named Region 2 "Sportsman of the Year" by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. A great honor for a very fine young man.

Hope to see you Sunday, if not before.

Press on.

Andrew

Hey Team:

We will continue our study of David this week. We're going to consider some issues regarding parenting, which I know is an issue near and dear to all of us.

Please pray for Mike McKinney who will be speaking in our morning worship service this Sunday. Also, my sweet wife will be singing a Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir song with the choir. I know I am partial, but I can't remember ever hearing Eva sing when I did not receive a blessing.
Also, this Sunday evening during the evening worship service my father will begin teaching his book, What Should We Believe About Jesus? Again, I know I am partial, but I believe it will be a great six week study.

Don't forget we could use a few more folks to help us move the Blakemans this Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. Mark Gary, Mike Stewart and I will be there and we would love to have you join us.

Press on.....
Andrew

Prayer Request - Siglers

Many of you know that Randy and Penny Sigler have been dealing with some issues in their family that have resulted in them having temporary custody of their grandson, Cole. Although they were hopeful that things were improving, they are not and the situation is becoming more serious. Please remember this family in your prayers.

Press on.
