Can people tell you have been with Jesus by the way you walk, by the way you talk, or by the actions of your life? We are the ambassadors representing Jesus on this earth, just like our ambassadors that go oversea to represent America. What are you reflecting of the one you serve? Are you causing people to hunger after what you say you are? Is everything that you do in your daily life expressing the heart of heaven? Are you giving mercy as you have been given mercy? Are you showing compassion as you have been given compassion? Are you giving forgiveness as you have been forgiven? That is how Jesus responded to you. Are you responding like your Jesus? If you are looking for a house of worship, come by and visit. We have a family atmosphere and people with big hearts of love desiring to see people grow in a relationship with Jesus. We will show you mercy and compassion as our Jesus did when He was upon this earth for He is our example. You will feel the presence of His Spirit and be refreshed and renewed. Remember to pray for your loved ones, friends and neighbors that are sick in body or facing problems of life. Only thing missing in ch-rch is you that don't know Jesus. Hope to see you in church Sunday. In His Service, George Bruce, Pastor main street presbyterian church 10th and Main Streets, Petersburg Sunday school 9:15 a.m.; Sunday worship 10:30 a.m. We have a nursery for children up to the age of seven and we also have a van route in Petersburg to pick anyone up. Come visit us, our doors are always open to you! You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting . . . It takes all one's strength and all one's heart and all one's mind and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. Office hours: 9-noon, Mon.-Fri. Phone: 354-6844.

The message of heaven and hell and personal salvation was too old fashioned. Many college students have told me you are counted out if you believe in God and attend church. This problem is very complex and hard to understand since most colleges started as re- The Press-Dispatch ligious institutions. About 80 percent of our professors promote gay marriage, sex before marriage and reject a true Christian lifestyle. These young people have grown up in a culture where all the emphasis is on sex. Mr. O'Reilly was probably right when he said that our last election was won because voters wanted stuff.

"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins" (Acts 10:43). The church must strive to rise above prejudice. God does not restrict any nation or ethnicity from the offer of salvation. He offers forgiveness and eternal life to people everywhere, making the old adage true: the ground is level at the foot of the cross.
