This week PAWS is featuring a daunting young feline named Tarzan, who can often be seen climbing, jump- ing and swinging from objects in the office at PAWS, as if it were his own little jungle. Tarzan is an aerial artist and loves the cat tree, which he races up and down and amus- es himself for hours. He has golden fur with white accents, large to- paz eyes and is approxi- mately 14 weeks old and can be adopted, by call- ing 812-354-9894.

Repent: Is the Spirit convicting me of sin? 3. Ask: What "Big Thing" am I asking for? 4. Yield: Am I regularly obeying the Spirit? 5. Example: Father, make me an example others can follow. 6. Relationships: How can I love others in my relation- ships? My marriage, chil- dren, friends, neighbors, etc. 7. Three: Who are three people the Spirit is asking me to pray for and invite to my church? 8. Eyes and Ears: Pray that each person has a soft heart so their eyes and ears are open to the gospel. 9. Attitude: How does my attitude need to change to be more like Jesus' attitude? 10. Mission? How is God asking me to move our mis- sion forward in helping oth- ers know Christ, grow in Christ, and go forth to serve Christ?

"Through wisdom a house is built, and by understand- ing it is established" (Prov- erbs 24:3). The family is the most important institution in the world. It was God's idea in the first place. It was not the invention of sociologists or economics or government bureaucrats who decided it would make society operate more smoothly. Families ex- isted before cities and gov- ernments, before written language, nations, temples and churches. In the home, character and integrity are formed, values are made clear and goals are set. These last a lifetime. And if they aren't formed correctly that, too, will result in patterns—bad patterns—that last a life- time, if God doesn't inter- fere. Today, Satan is attacking the family as never before. But where are our defenses NEW LIBERTY G.B. CHURCH (Coe) 1820 S. Co Rd. 800 S.

Thought of the Week – "We love You, Lord Jesus," we often will say, but are we as ready His will to obey? Let's heed what God's Spir- it would have us to do - that's how we show Him a love that is true -D. DeHaan.

"Children are a gift from God; they are His reward" (Psalm 127:3). Today, there are more pressures on the home than perhaps at any other time in history of the human race. By necessity or by desire, more women are working today than ever before. Ma- ny feel guilty about leaving their children in the care of others or having them re- turn to an empty home while they are at work. But many women (and men, too) still devote more attention to their working life than they do to their family life. Is it any wonder so many homes are in trouble. What achievement in life is equal to a happy home and rearing successful children. If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. I'm sure you will leave feeling blessed.

Faith and Healing He said to her, "Daugh- ter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." (Mark 5:34). Faith is one of the most powerful weapons against the enemy that we as Chris- tians have. I understand that keeping faith in a time of sickness is a hard thing to do. Also, I know that the devil likes to kick us when we are down. Faith and trust that God has it all un- der control and is always do- ing things for your good will see you through this. Does this mean that you should not cry out to God? No. You should cry out to God, not just as God but as a loving father, letting him know that you are still holding faith, claiming healing in your life and are thankful that he has blessed you this far. God loves you. Trust in him, and see that faith and healing go hand-in-hand. We welcome you to all services. Come and wor- ship Jesus with us. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center.

"Beware of false proph- ets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but in- wardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.

If the words they speak and the life they live don't line-up with the Word, take heed. Don't partake of what they are giving.

God formed Ad- am from the dust of the ground, but it wasn't until He breathed 'the breath of life' into Adam that he came alive. Adam and Eve were alive physically, mentally, and spiritually. When the fall of man occurred they died spiritually.
