LEARN THROUGH YOUR FAITH TO BE CHEERFUL IN ADVERSITY
if e teaches all of us that there are intervals ‘ when everything seems to go right, while at other ifSk ‘ • HwM WiBB times the dark clouds appear and adversity descends upon us like the trials of Job. It is not i JJ so much the events themselves as the way we / ® ill react to them that may determine the outcome. /| WMfl Whenever you are experiencing difficulties, R7W2b remember that your House of Worship is the place to acquire the ability to “roll with the pun- X ches”; and you might also ask the advice of your V ? C I clergyman, whose functions include helping peo- BJi Il I pie in trouble. Then, having done everything W « B LJfR IJ possible to alleviate your problems, you should K /» 'I W llfr** try to develop a cheerful and positive attitude ill''' t Wl w which will eventually become a good habit and /Bml will also brighten the lives of those around you, \ J who may share your woes. This can be difficult, but with the power of God, nothing is impossible.
Meaning of baptism
By STEVE FOUTS Pastor It is important that every believer follows Christ in water baptism. The scripture emphatically commands us to “repent and be baptized for the remission of sins.” I know that some may wonder about the meaning of baptism. In actuality it’s a symbolic representation of the burial and resurrection of our Lord. In that sense, the only appropriate mode of baptism is immersion (going completely under the water). This beautiful ordinance depicts

what happened to us when we came to know Christ as Savior. First, upon believing, we die in sin, or as we find in Galatians 2:20, we are “crucified with Christ.” Then we are “buried with Christ in baptism.” As we come up out of the water the picture is that of being raised with Christ from the dead. And so, baptism becomes an outward sign of what has already taken place within us as a work of grace. There is no cleansing of sin in the act of baptism but as an act of obedience it serves as a testimony to men of what has-

happened in our hearts. It is only the blood of Christ that can cleanse us from sin. Baptism merely shows to the world what has already happened. Have you been baptized? If you are a born-again believer you need to be and I would encourage you to participate in this opportunity. Your willingness to follow Christ in baptism will certainly speak loudly of your obedience to the teaching of God’s word and be the example left by Him for us to follow. Give me a call at North Webster Church of God and let me know of your desire to be baptized.

The Newspaper / DIBLE ARE YOU BUILDING ON A GOOD FOUNDATION? S God, in His kindness, has taught me how to be an expert builder. I ? !' have laid the foundation and Apollos has built on it. But he who [ builds on the foundation must be very careful. S For no one can ever lay any other real foundation than that one we / ( ]• already have —Jesus Christ. <[j J ? But there are various kinds ofmaterials that can be used to build on 'i S that foundation. Some usegold and silver and jewels; andsome build ? j ]> with sticks, and hay, or even straw! <, e ? There is going to come a time of testing at Christ’s Judgment Day to Ji see what kind of material each builder has used. Everyone’s work e '> will be put through the fire so that all can see whether or not it keeps i 1 its value, and what was really accomplished. / Then every workman who has built on the foundation with the ? f ' i right materials, and whose work still stands, will get his pay. , / - But if the house he has built burns up, he will have a great loss. He j s ([ himself will be saved, but like a man escaping through a wall of ? S flames. j Don’t you realize that all of you together are the house of God, and , / that the Spirit of God lives among you in His house? i[ ' i If anyone defiles and spoils God's home, God will destroy him. For \ !' » God’s home is holy and clean, and you are that home. ' i i[ Stop fooling yourselves. If you count yourself above-average in id \ intelligence, as judged by this world’s standards, you had better put \ J' this all aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the ' • i[ true wisdom from above. \ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As it says in the \ J book of Job, God uses man's own brilliance to trap him; he stumbles ' over his own “wisdom" and falls. J S And again, in the book of Psalms, we are told that the Lord knows , full well how the human mind reasons, and how foolish and futile it j \ is. I Corinthians 3:10-20 S

A boy asked, “Dad, what causes wars?” “Political factors,” he answered. “You’re wrong,” interrupted the mother. “Let me tell you.” As the argument raged the boy said, “Nevermind. You’ve shown me.” St. James asked the same question, only he answered it in the Bible: “From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not; Ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain; Ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not; Ye ask and receive not, because ye

ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” There is no word in any language that is more eloquent of evil than “lusts.” Sometimes it is translated “desires” and other times “longi ings.” The entire gamut of human emotions is contained within them: ambition, anger, avarice, covetousness, desire, envying, resentment and strife. These passions, beginning with one person, break out into quarrels with others, strife wjthin communities and war among nations. When we desire to please God and not ourselves, we will have peace. What this world really needs is a better me.
