We should seek to produce the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, or to put it more accu- rately, we should allow the Ho- ly Spirit to produce His fruit in our lives. You say, "I am powerless to produce such fruit. You don't know how weak and self centered I am. It would be utterly impossi- ble for me to do so." With that most agree. That is, we can't produce this fruit in our own strength. When the Spirit of God dwells in us and has con- trol of our lives, He will pro- duce that fruit. Our respon- sibility is to cultivate the soil of our hearts through sincere devotion and surrender, so He might find favorable ground to produce His fruit. 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. Jerry "Tuffy" Blackwell, Pastor Sharon Kendall, Reporter NEW LIBERTY G.B.

The youth pre- sented each father with a sweet treat at the end of the service. A very nice crowd came to enjoy the day. We are grateful to our commit- tee for putting together a wonderful program.

Who- soever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.(Mark 11:22-26). Without faith it is impos- sible to please the Lord. But all things are possible to them that believe the Lord. And keep faith and confi- dence in the Lord. He is the author and finisher of our faith. Believe in God. Jesus loves you. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center. Web- site: grcenter.net – E-mail address: glezenrevivalcen- ter@yahoo.com.

Denny Wiscaver, Pastor Pam Nutter, Reporter in salary; a great physician who healed the sick and afflicted and never asked whether they had Medicare or insurance; a good neigh- bor who always tried to show His love and was never un- friendly. He traveled all over the country trying to help some- body everywhere He went; and often fed large numbers of people when He found them hungry whether they had money or not. He was so wrapped up in trying to help people that He often wept over their pitiful condi- tion. Yet, they crucified Him, and some of the very people He tried to help joined the senseless mob who mocked Him and spit in His face. Bob Shepherd, Reporter
