Our world is going through some difficult times right now as most of you already know.  This was really brought home to us here this past week as our facility was broken into by thieves last Wednesday morning.  We are fortunate that they did not do any more damage than they did.  While we are left with what will be some pretty good repair bills - replacing the broken glass where they entered the building and the door jam of the office which they broke through - it is the children of Hope Harbor Children’s Home that are hurt the most.  We had between 8 and 10 change cans completely full waiting to go to Hope Harbor and they stole them all, probably somewhere between $300 and $500 dollars.  I would ask you to pray for us and the Children’s Home to help us get through this, but I especially ask you to pray for those guilty of this crime.  They obviously are in need of serious help, pray that God will forgive them.

The Lord willing, you will find an insert in the bulletin today entitled “Quick Scriptures for Teens” by Allen Webster.  Pam and I met brother Webster at the Polishing The Pulpit lectures we were able to attend a few years ago.  Allen preaches for the church in Jacksonville, AL.  He is a very gifted preacher and writer.  One of the many things in which Allen is involved is the House to House publication.  This particular article was in the Jacksonville bulletin.  While the title of the article says it is for teens, I suggest that this particular article is for anyone who calls himself or herself a Christian.  Allen has listed scriptures for just about any topic or activity that we struggle with in our society today.  Just a few of the topics are attitude, morality, dancing, sexuality along with many others.  He also covers general topics such as purpose in life, relationships and salvation.  I would encourage everyone to keep a copy of this sheet handy at all times.  Then when questions arise from friends, family or even in one’s own mind about various things, just pull out this sheet and study the various passages of scripture given concerning the topic in question.  If you want more copies than just the one, let us know and we can make you as many copies as you need.
 

I mentioned Polishing The Pulpit earlier.  Brother Webster is one of the men who helps organize this great event each year.  It has now, apparently, settled in at Sevierville, TN.  If you or anyone you know may happen to be in that area, the dates for PTP are Aug. 27 - Sept. 2.  There will be 102 speakers from 13 states with ten class choices each hour with 375 class topics from which to chose.  Over those seven days each person will receive 60 hours of instruction.  Special classes are scheduled for preachers, elders, deacons, youth workers, women, teens, children, families and Bible teachers.  I think you can see why Pam and I enjoyed this so much the only time we were able to attend.  We still hope to be able to return and be a part of this very special event at some point in the future.  It is a very special time of learning, fellowship and encouragement.
 

Until next week, I love you all.
