Continual Praise
Praise is easy to give when things are
going well. We don't mind praising
others when we are in a good mood,
yet the toughest times to praise are
when things aren't working out as we
had planned. Take, for instance, the
middle-aged Christian man who loved
serving God and was faithful in his
local church. He praised God by
singing while serving as the church's
maintenance man. His job wasn't
elaborate, nor was his position seen,
but he loved serving and praising God.
One day the man developed a sore
throat that left him hoarse. After a few
days of struggle through his sickness,
he consulted a doctor who after
running several tests diagnosed him
with a rare form of cancer. Treatment
for the cancer would render him
without a voice for the rest of his life.
Facing the fact he would never speak,
sing, yell, or whisper ever again, the
man had one thing to say, "Doctor,
would you mind if I sing one last
song before you begin treatments?"
The man went on to sing Isaac
Watt's hymn, "I'll Praise My Maker
While I Have Breath."
Praising God came naturally while
this man was serving God and
enjoying the blessings of a godly
life, yet when he faced sickness,
painful treatments, and a life
without his voice, he continued
praising God even then. True praise
continues even when circumstances
turn sour.
Notice what Hebrews 13:15 has to
say, "By him therefore let us
offer the sacrifice of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit
of our lips giving thanks to his
name." When was the last time
you set aside time to praise God?
Giving thanks to God after a blessing
should be as natural as breathing.

Our Dilemma:
Sunday AM:
Sandy Patterson We are, by nature, sinners who stand guilty and condemned before
our Creator and Judge. In our thoughts and actions, we have
Sunday PM: disobeyed His perfect standards. We are sinners (Romans 3:10,
Cary Hogan 23).
Wednesday PM: Our Inability:
Bridget Weleski We are helpless to save ourselves. Forgiveness is a gift to be
received, not a reward that can be earned. We need a Saviour

Evangelist (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Our Saviour:
Raymond Hancock Because of His love for us, God provided salvation through His Son,
Jesus. He became a member of the human family, lived without
sin, and died on the cross to pay for our sins. Jesus is the Saviour
(Romans 5:8; John 3:16).
Our Response:
Salvation is an individual matter and requires a personal response
on the part of anyone that wants to be saved. All who acknowledge
their sin and place their trust in Christ are adopted as God’s
children (Romans 10:9, 13).

At the conclusion of our Sunday services, people are invited

to trust Christ as Saviour. Individuals will be dealt with by

Sunday March 7, 2010

Christians trained in the Bible. Your questions will be
addressed patiently and privately.

SS, AM and PM Our Pastor is willing to set-up an appointment with you to

answer your questions regarding this most important subject.

Please show respect by turning off all electronic devices (PDA’s, cell phones) and refrain from text messaging during the church services.
