EVERY TUESDAY Baptist Baptist Continued in next column Inside every big dog there's still a puppy that wants a hug. This week PAWS is fea- turing a big teddy bear named Jake, who is a very personable guy and loves to relax on his Coolaroo dog bed. He has been a bit depressed since arriv- ing at PAWS, as his for- mer owners could no lon- ger care for him. Jake has some Vizs- la, Bloodhound heritage, is very sensitive, good natured, a large fellow, with short, rusty gold- en fur, handsome green eyes, is neutered, has all his shots and walks great on a leash and likes cats.

Some of the words from a song entitled "Changed" by Walter Hawkins sum up what it means to have God change your heart and make it new: "A change, a change has come over me. He changed my life and now I am free. He washed away all my sins and He made me whole. He washed me white as snow. He changed my life complete and now I sit, I sit at His feet to do what must be done. I'll work and work until he comes." "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26).

Olive, we learned about stepping out of our comfort zone to serve Christ. It can be scary, lonely and heartbreaking at times; however, our reward in Heaven is unable to be measured here on Earth. Find one thing this week that makes you a bit uncom- fortable and do it for the kingdom of Christ. Ordinary obedience leads to extraor- dinary opportunity. Mt. Olive Outreach Team is selling t-shirts, hood- ies and long sleeve t-shirts to benefit our team. These funds will go directly back into our community. Go to the Mt. Olive General Bap- tist Facebook page if you would like to purchase a shirt with our mission state- ment, which is "Helping others Know Christ, Grow in Christ and Go Forth to Serve Christ."

Celebrate Recovery Sun- day evening from 5 -7 p.m. at the Gathering Place in Win- slow. "God is not the author of confusion but of peace" (I Corinthians 14:33). Who of us has not asked in times of affliction and difficulty, does God care for me? The Psalmist said "Refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul" (Psalms 142:14). Martha, over con- cerned with her workday duties, said to Jesus, "Lord, do You not care? " How ma- ny faithful, loving mothers, overwhelmed by the bur- dens of motherhood, have cried anxiously, "Lord, do You not care? " That question is forev- er answered in those reas- suring words of Peter: "He careth for you" (Peter 5:7). This is God's word, even if the world passes away, it will not change. You can be confident God cares for you. If He didn't, would He have sent Christ into the world to die for you? Of course not. That is why you can always turn to Him for the strength and encouragement you need. Yes, life can be overwhelm- ing at times. But when it is, remember this: God knows what you are facing, and "He cares for you." If at any time you have no PLEASANT RIDGE G.B. CHURCH 1738 E. Co. Rd. 75 N.

Dearly beloved, avenge not your- selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will re- pay, saith the Lord"(Romans 12:18 -19 K JV ). "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" ( John 8:32 K JV ). Remember to pray for those on the prayer list and also remember "Jesus is a way maker. He can make a way when you don't see a way." Have a safe week. Dale Frederick, Pastor Lois K. Fowler, Reporter bring the amount of meals with which they would like to go home.

"We need to find God and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.

Thought The humble carpenter of Nazareth was also the mighty Architect of the Universe. The Apostle Paul writes, "He is the image of the in- visible God, the first born over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and in- visible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him" (Colossians 1:15 - 16). Because He lives. John Manges, Minister Church of Christ BRENTON CHAPEL CHURCH OF CHRIST 1194 E. Co. Rd. 400 N.
