The Groesbeck Ex-Students Association met on Monday afternoon at the City Council meeting room to make plans for various events related to homecoming.
Well, mid-April is here, and numerous activities will be taking place in the very near future.
There are times when the Church seems to forget its purpose on earth. Times when we have not applied God’s message to the needs of the hour. The sermon of a Chaplain on the eve of the Normandy invasion is a classic example of this failure. The fighting men of his division crowded the chapel. They were hungry for a word that would give meaning to their lives. The Chaplain delivered a rousing sermon on the evils of smoking and drinking to the soldiers, many of whom died within the week. His message gave not bread but a stone! If you had but one day to live and one message to give, what would you tell your friends about the Lord Jesus? I offer the following suggestions.
The latest report on child maltreatment fatalities and near fatalities, compiled by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, indicates 251 children in Texas died in fiscal year 2020 due to abuse and neglect. That figure includes 28 children who died after being left unattended in hot vehicles.
Much has been written about the creative power of love. Jesus, the Master Teacher said, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:12) God’s love in our hearts can change us from rebels to obedient followers. God’s love in our hearts can change us from fearfulness to believers filled with assurance. God’s love in our hearts can change us from self-centered persons to faithful friends who are willing to lay down their lives for their friends.
