“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble.”
~2 Corinthians 1:3-4a, NKJV~
Thank-you to those who helped to provide or prepare lunch for the BCM (Baptist Collegient Ministries) at SLU today. The meal will be at Noon. Thanks to those going to share and to serve the food. May this ministry be effective in drawing students into the BCM today. I think a big pot of jambalaya cooking in front of the BCM will draw in a few extra students today. Pray for Bro. Bucky as he shares God’s word today.
Mr. “Cete” Dillon will have another eye procedure Thursday in Mandeville. Pray it is successful this time. “Miss” Ruby is doing very well. Thank-you for praying for her lately.
Eddie Keith Schwartz will have eye surgery Monday in Covington. Please be in prayer for him.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
MANY PEOPLE ARE looking for a sign from God…
They want to know for certain that God is there, that he really is who the Bible says he is. They are willing to believe in Him, but first they demand some sort of sign. They say, “God, if you’re really there, show yourself to me! Then I will believe in you!”
The truth is that God has given a sign. It is a miraculous sign — the sign of the empty tomb. Jesus of Nazareth, also called Christ, claimed to be God’s Son. His earthly life ended on a wooden cross outside Jerusalem. The Bible says that His death paid the penalty for our sin. Then Jesus was buried. If he had remained in the tomb, there would be no sign that Jesus really is the Christ. But in order to prove that sin is forgiven through the cross and that we can have fellowship with God forever, Jesus was raised from the dead. His resurrection is the sign that Christianity is true — a sign recorded in Scripture and confirmed in historical accounts from many reliable eyewitnesses. Philip Graham Ryken
“And while the crowds were thickly gathered together,
He began to say, ‘This is an evil generation.
It seeks a sign,
and no sign will be given to it
except the sign of Jonah the prophet.”
Luke 11:29
