A lot of hullabaloo and expenses to bear, and tension from hectic roads, shopping errands, family and friends to visit or accommodate can and will be major stresses to bear. Even the loss and aermath of all of the above can leave you broke, exhausted and feeling depressed! Well, enough for the bad news, right? There is a silver lining of hope, a brand new year, a fresh outlook, goals and resolves to set, things to accomplish and create! His HighWay Ministries 812-650-2664 Ready... SET... GO!

"Give," Christ commanded. Yet it was more than a com- mand. It was an invitation to glorious and abundant living. If a person gets his attitude to- ward money right, it will help straighten out almost every other area of his life. Have you ever realized just how cru- el and deceptive a master mon- ey can be? Some people spend their lives slavishly serving it- -often without even realizing it. No wonder Jesus warned, "you cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). The chief motive of the selfish, unregenerate person is "get. Jesus said, "Give and it will be given to you." It's a promise, and we know Jesus never breaks His promises. Getting or giving? Which is true of you? If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. Your pres- ence will be appreciated and I'm sure you will feel the bless- ing of God. May God bless each and everyone. Jerry "Tuffy" Blackwell, Pastor Sharon Kendall, Reporter ARTHUR G.B. CHURCH 5670 S.

"You were taught, with re- gard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceit- ful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds" (Ephesians 4:22,23, NIV ). When we accepted Christ as our Savior, we accepted a new life, one that is free from the power of sin, and one that be- gan our spiritual, eternal life. If you feel like you have been caught wearing sin like an ug- ly, old garment, take it off. In- stead, clothe yourself with an attitude of forgiveness and the freedom that was given to you through Jesus. Always remembering those in need of God's healing and comfort. If you don't have a church home, we invite you to worship with us.
