Plan to join us. You will be blessed. We will continue practicing social distancing and ask every- one to wear a mask. "Your word is a lamp un- to my feet and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105, NLT). There will be opportuni- ties that arise that might be surprising to us. We might be presented with some- thing that seems terrifying. Stepping through the un- known takes courage, and courage isn't always avail- able. Through the power of prayer, and wrestling with the opportunity's positives and negatives, hopefully we come to the point where our hearts feel the peace we've been looking for. You may not always feel brave about a decision, but you can trust God and the peace in your heart. We invite you to worship with us.

Main Street Petersburg 812-354-6775 By the time we read this, the election is probably over, but as I write, Americans all over the country are lining up to cast a ballot. For many, this is the most important elec- tion of their lives, and maybe, the way you view the country, it is. Here is what is true re- gardless, no matter who won on Tuesday night, the church must respond in the coming months. Here is what I mean. It is of no shock as a member of my generation, I have a so- cial media account on almost every major platform. And across everyone one of them, at the core, even Christians are divided more than ever. And it is shocking more than ever to hear the words of Jesus, that a kingdom and a house divid- ed against itself will inevita- bly fall. The fall of morality we see all around us, will contin- ue as long as the church isn't one, just as Jesus prayed, we would be. Now is the time when all be- lievers will gather and worship in Spirit and Truth in one loca- tion. Not Democrats worship- ing on this mountain, or Re- publicans on that. No but all believers worshiping one God. What matters as we move for- ward is how we will band to- gether and pray over our neighborhoods, communities, schools, first responders, and especially our churches. We must pray for spiritual wisdom, pray that God strengthens us in our spirit, that we may live in unity, and stand together shoulder to shoulder against the enemy and the schemes of VINCENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH 8264 E.

The Apostle Paul mentions gifts in Romans Twelve. He writes, "If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is con- tributing to the needs of other, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern dil- igently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully" (Ro- mans 12:7-8). Because He lives.

"Let us therefore come bold- ly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). I am never tired of pointing out that the Greek phrase translated, "in the time of need," is a collo- quialism, of which "the nick of time" is the exact equiva- lent: That we may have grace to help in the "nick of time." Grace just when and where I need it. You are attacked by temptation, and, at the mo- ment of assault, you look to Him, and the grace is there to help in the nick of time. No postponement of your peti- tion until the evening hour of prayer; but there... in the city street, with the flaming temp- tation in front of you, turn to Christ with a cry for help, and the grace will be there in the nick of time—G.
