“For by grace you have been saved through faith,

and that not of yourselves;

it is the gift of God,

not of works,

lest anyone should boast.”

~Ephesians 2:8-9, NKJV~

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10

Mike Benson, Editor

A TEACHER HAD twelve students in his class…

He brought into the room a box of thirteen roses.  Taking one of them out of the box, he passed it around the class asking each student to handle and smell it.  Afterwards, he placed it back into the box.  When the class period came to a close, he passed the entire box of roses around the room for each student to get one for themselves.  With twelve students and thirteen roses, naturally there would be one left.

Which do you suppose it was?

It was the one everybody had touched — the one whose petals was falling off that did not look very fresh anymore.

In like manner, we urge all of our young people to avoid becoming used and soiled.  Rather, we encourage them to preserve their chastity and purity at all costs, giving themselves to one man or one woman for life.  (Allen Webster, “Why Not Be a Prodigal?”)

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Remember to prepare for the storm that seems to want to come through our area.  Remember to prepare for the storms of life that blow our way.  There is One who can face those  storms with us!  Be sure you have invited Him into your life!
