The document provides information about First Baptist Church of Franklinton including their address, contact information, service times, and upcoming events. It includes a newsletter article discussing the importance of Christians embracing their role as "bearers of the Gospel" and sharing their faith according to Paul's instructions in Colossians 4:2-5 which are to pray, pray for others, act wisely, and speak with gracious speech. It also advertises upcoming student ministry and discipleship events.
The article discusses the hymn "Amazing Grace" and its theme of forgiveness of sins. It explores the biblical concept of grace, noting that grace allows for a relationship with God despite human sinfulness. While grace provides salvation, the article notes that not all will accept God's grace and be saved according to their choice to obey or disobey. It emphasizes that God's grace is available to all but only benefits those who conform to God's will.
Tates Creek Christian Church Current for November 2015David Eversole
This document is a newsletter from Tates Creek Christian Church providing information about upcoming events, ministry updates, and devotional thoughts from church leaders.
It includes articles from various ministers reflecting on themes of thankfulness, family, grace, and overcoming sin. It also lists the church's services, staff, prayer requests, and calendar of events for the month.
The newsletter aims to encourage the church community and deepen members' spiritual growth through reflections on biblical themes from a pastoral perspective. It further seeks to inform members of opportunities to gather for worship, service, and fellowship.
The document is the February 2018 newsletter from Tates Creek Christian Church. It includes articles from various church ministers focusing on having a heart for lost people and evangelism. It discusses building relationships with lost people, the love God and Jesus have for the lost, and challenges readers to pray for lost people by name and find ways to share the gospel with them. It also announces upcoming church classes and events happening in February and March.
1) The sermon discusses the need for Christians to have total commitment to sharing their faith, using examples like a boy who swam to raise money for charity and a missionary who spent decades in difficult conditions spreading the gospel.
2) It notes that many Christians are not committed to witnessing for Christ, for reasons like fear, lack of power, or not caring about the lost.
3) The pastor urges Christians to pray for boldness from the Holy Spirit to overcome these obstacles and have courageous conversations about their faith.

This document provides advice on how to cope with life's hardships. It suggests three things: 1) Build your hopes on eternal things rather than temporary earthly things by focusing on God and the afterlife. 2) Trust fully in God who is completely trustworthy and will never abandon us. His promises give hope. 3) Remember that this life is temporary, but being faithful to God results in an glorious eternal home in Heaven. Having God on our side through faith helps us cope with whatever challenges we face.

The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Trusting God's Providence | Verse: Romans 8: 28-31JL de Belen
Trusting God's Providence.
Providence - God’s active preservation and care over His creation. God is both the Creator and the Sustainer of all things Heb. 1:2-3; Col. 1:17
-God keep His promises.
-God’s general providence is toward all creation
- All things were made through Him
God’s special providence is toward His children.
We may suffer now, but joy can and will come
God can see what we cannot see

Mission
Tates Creek Christian Church exists to win
people to Christ (evangelism), build up believers
in faith, knowledge, and service (encouragement),
to help those in need (benevolence), and to stand up
for Christian values in the community (witness).
3. Growing up in church, one of the first childhood songs I
remember learning was “The B I B L E.” I remember those words
well. “The B I B L E yes that’s the book for me. I stand alone on
the Word of God ~ the B I B L E.” Little did I know at the time
how crucial that truth would always be. We stand alone on the
Word of God because the BIBLE is truth. In Jesus’ prayer in John 17, Jesus
said, “Your Word is Truth.” In John 10:35 Jesus said, “The Scripture cannot be
broken.” The Bible is truth, represents truth, contains truth, and proclaims
truth. This is the reason we declare the Bible is inerrant. The Bible does not
contain errors, lies, or fallacies. It is infallible.
What is sad is that the society we live in does not respect the Bible as the
Word of God. We hear statements like, “The Bible is outdated, it is antiquated,
or it does not pertain to today.” Today, our society looks to their own feelings,
their own thinking, or to what other people think or feel as the standard for
truth or making decisions.
When I was growing up and my parents told me to
do something, if for some unexplained reason I might
ask the question, “Why?” they would respond simply
and sternly, “Because I said so.” And that was enough.
Hopefully, as Christians, that is our attitude of respect
and reverence for the message of the Bible today, “The
Bible says so.”
Starting Sunday, September 13, we will launch a sermon series entitled,
“We Hold These Truths.” Throughout this sermon series, we are going to
take a look at what the Bible says about certain topics like marriage, divorce,
homosexuality, abortion, racism, sin, grace, Jesus, and baptism.
In I Timothy 3:15, Paul says the church is the “pillar and support of the
truth.” Taking a stand for the truth is very important. As the Lord’s Church,
we must stand for the truth. Just as important as standing for the truth is the
way in which we communicate the truth. We want to communicate the truth
of God’s Word with grace and love.
I am asking you to be praying for this sermon series. Pray for clarity and
effectiveness in communicating God’s truth from His Word! Someone has
said that if we do not take a stand for something that we will fall for anything.
We must take a courageous stand for the truth in God’s Word. Let’s do that
together!
His Truth is Marching On! ~Tommy

Senior Adults
The story is told of a woman who had a pet squirrel. She
enjoyed watching the little squirrel eat the peanuts, pecans,
and other kinds of nuts she would set out for it each morning.
Each morning she would watch the squirrel deftly, yet
laboriously separate the outer shell from the inner meat. Once
the nuts had been opened and the prize within had been eaten the squirrel
would go merrily on its way leaving the husks scattered on the back porch.
After a few weeks of enjoying the squirrel but having to clean up the mess,
the woman came up with an idea. If she put out nuts that had already been
shelled she would do the squirrel the favor of not having to work so hard at
getting the food. She would also do herself a favor by not having a mess to
clean up each time. Well a strange thing happened when she did that. The
little squirrel slowly got sick and eventually died. You see, God designed the
squirrel with the need to break open the shell of these nuts. They kept the
squirrel’s teeth in shape.
I think there is a good lesson in this for us. David said, “Thy Word have
I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11) The
Apostle Paul also told Timothy to “Study to show thyself approved unto
God, a workman who needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of truth.” (2 Timothy
2:15) The lesson of the squirrel and the teaching
of the scripture both tell us that we can in no way
be healthy Christians if we neglect putting the
time, effort, and work into knowing the Word of
God. We see the devastating effect this has had on
our culture, which by any reasonable measure is quite sick. What is most
concerning, however, is the attitude of many who call themselves Christians
yet subscribe to many of the attitudes of the world. This is often directly
related to their lack of interest and concern for what the Word of God says.
What we all need to remember is what Jesus said in Matthew 24. “Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my word will never pass away.” Our interest
and commitment to the Word of God WILL have an effect on our spiritual
health, so an important question we should all ask ourselves is
“How am I feeling today?

5. Have you ever thought about how much doctrine you learned
as a young child by the songs you sang with other children? I
think many times, we don’t think of theology when we think of
children’s songs. But, as I think back on some of those songs, I
did learn a lot that I have carried with me to sustain me in my
later adult years. Because the melodies were so easy to sing, it also made the
words easy to remember. In fact, as an adult, I am amazed at how many songs
and hymns I can still sing remembering the words to most of the stanzas.
There is one song we all remember as probably the very first song we sang
at home or in Sunday School. In fact, this song is still in most adult hymnals.
And, I find that adults still enjoy singing this song. The
song: Jesus Loves Me. And it is full of doctrine! Let’s take a
look at the words:
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so:
Little ones to Him belong, they are weak, but He is strong.
Wow! In that first stanza, we see the Truth in God’s Word. He loves us!
That is the theme of all Scripture. He loves us! We are weak and need to
submit to His authority as spelled out in the Word.
Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven’s gate to open wide,
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
After another reminder that we are loved, the next stanza shows us that the
Gate of Heaven is open wide to all who have had their sins washed away with
the blood of Christ. All are welcome in God’s Kingdom.
Jesus loves me! He will stay close beside me all the way;
He’s prepared a home for me, and some day His face I’ll see.
In this final stanza we are reminded of God’s presence in our lives and that
we will one day see His Face in the place He has promised for us.
Now I ask you, isn’t there a lot of Truth and doctrine in this simple song? I
believe that there is, without a lot of difficult language to interpret and with a
melody that stays with you for life. Now, before you put this magazine down,
why not sing through the entire song and thank God for the words by Anna
B. Warner and the music by William B. Bradbury that have brought us these
simple truths that last a lifetime!

“Today not only in philosophy but in politics, government, and
individual morality, our generation sees solutions in terms of
synthesis and not absolutes. When this happens, truth, as people
have always thought of truth, has died.” ~ Francis Schaeffer
A lot of people say there is no such thing as absolute truth. They say that
all truth is relative. The interesting thing is that both of those statements
are absolutes. I believe that absolute truth is found in God, the Holy Spirit,
Jesus, and the Bible. There are things that we can discover as true outside
of the Bible, but these things are still truths that God set in motion at the
creation of the world. You see, the funny thing about truth is…its true…
whether you believe it or not.
The main source for the revelation of truth is
God’s Holy Word, written for us in the Bible.
The topic of the Bible as a source for truth has
been widely debated over many, many years.
But over any other historical document, the
Bible has proven over and over that it is historically accurate. The Bible is
supported by countless archaeological findings and other historical records.
The Bible provides many scientific facts that science didn’t affirm until much
after it was recorded. The Bible has also faced unrelenting scrutiny as a
source for truth and has stood the test of time.
The Bible has been the single most influential literary piece in history.
The perfect moral code that Jesus sets before us in the gospel has been the
inspiration for many of our laws even today. There is nothing that has
shaped culture the way the Bible has.
When all these things are considered, it is easy to see that the Bible is the
best source for truth, especially moral truth. When we live the way that
Jesus outlines for us in scripture, our lives are free. There is peace in the
truth of God.
“The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures
forever.” Psalm 119:160

Student Ministry
Hearing what the Bible is saying
One of the most significant challenges for a youth minister
is keeping up with the new ways that words are used among
students. This doesn’t just apply to slang, but it even extends to
“normal” words that are used in different contexts by students. For example,
what do you think of when you read the word “phone”? Chances are it
is different from the way that a teenager today thinks of a phone. There
is a whole generation of people growing up today who have never seen a
landline phone!
If this is true with teenagers, then it is even more true in reading the Bible,
a book that was written over various cultures a long time ago in a place far
away from us. When we want to think
the right things “because the Bible tells
me so” we have to make sure we are
actually listening to what the Bible is
saying and not importing our received
understanding.
But with a book that was written in
three foreign languages, how can we hope to bridge that gap? We bridge
it the same way we learn about how young people think and speak, by
listening to them!
“...His delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and
night.” Psalm 1:2 (NASB)
Psalm 1 envisions a disciple who continually reads and re-reads Scripture
in order to listen to it more clearly. “Meditate” in this verse would imagine
a student of the Hebrew scriptures repeating a verse over and over in
order to listen to the details of the verse and let it sink into the heart. Our
first impulse in reading the Bible should be to listen rather than jump to
conclusions or applications. It is a delight to let the word master us rather
than the other way around!
If we aren’t reading the Bible to let it change how we think and how we act,
then we aren’t letting it “tell” us anything.
Let’s lift Him up together! ~ Brad

8. When I was a child I had a really neat, full-color, picture Bible. I
carried it to school with me on occassion, always had it with me at
church, and used it often to preach from. In fact, when I was very
small my dad built a pulpit for me and a pew for my sister. During
his sermon, I would lean on my dad’s words and take very detailed
notes. When we returned home after church and lunch, my sister and I would
play church.
From my early ages I learned the truth came from the Bible. I was never
taught that the world was pure evil and I needed to live in a bubble to be
protected. The more time I spent in the world growing up the more I learned
how much truth is in God’s words. I learned songs like Jesus Loves Me,
The B I B L E, Jesus Loves the Little Children, and Amazing Grace. I learned
verses like John 3:16-17. In fact, I learned that my life and direction was
dependent on God’s Word. When I grew up though I made new friends. My
world view grew in an enormous way. I took classes about world religions and
learned that other people around the world base their truth in other books. As
I shared respectful and sometimes heated discussions with some of these people
(including family and friends) it became even more clear to me how TRUE
God’s Word is.
In the midst of all of this though, I started some bad habits. It started one day
when I just tossed my Bible at my friend as a game. I was quickly corrected for
this and told that the Bible isn’t a pillow to be tossed around. As the bad habit
wasn’t corrected, I found myself relying on my own knowledge of God’s Word
in debates instead of quoting chapters and verses. I started to use a phrase that
I had probably heard from others more times than the words, “I love you.” I
started to say the phrase, “The Bible says…”
Then, I studied the temptation of Jesus. I noticed that three times Jesus’
defense to the devil’s attacks were from scripture. I wondered to myself, “when
the devil attacks me personally do I depend on my own knowledge and strength
to defend, or are the scriptures my defense.”
What does the Bible really say? This next school year in Uptown we are going
to find out as we suit up for battle and learn how to protect, defend, and fight
against the devil’s attacks. We are going to put on the FULL ARMOR OF GOD!
To get us started on this challenge, consider these words from Jesus…
Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the
second is like it: ’Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

Critterland News
Every week when we do our teaching during ‘Jesus in the
Park’ we start our lesson time by holding up our Children’s
Bible. “What is this?” We ask the children. “Bible!” They
shout back enthusiastically. “Whose stories are in here?”
We ask. “God’s!” (Jesus is thrown out with fervor as well). Lastly, “What
are God’s stories?” “True!!” We then go on to talk to the children about
the different people who have listened to God in these stories, and those
who haven’t. What happened to them, both good and bad. We teach
this because we have these stories, we know that Jesus loves us, and that
wherever we go we are protected by His love.
I know, as adults, we learn more from the words in the Bible than just
the “simple” stories. We can read between the lines to figure out what the
main point might be, and we understand the parables that Jesus spoke. But
we as adults forget the main point. All of the words are true. We are to
follow them and use them as our guide (2 Timothy 3:16). We are to obey
the words given to us. We are living in a world right now that is making
up right and wrong as it goes, and we must hold fast to those words that we
know are true. God is the Father, and the way to the Father is through the
Son (John 14:6).

Love is not a ruling by the US Supreme court.
Love is not a government fine to mitigate tort.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
Love does not win when truth is decried.
Love does not win when sin is denied.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
Love wins because on a cross Christ Jesus died.
Love wins because death’s victory was denied.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
Love is not found on bumperstickers, billboards or Facebook posts.
Love is found only in the zeal of YHWH, the Lord of Hosts.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
Love was given 2,000 years ago to save us.
Love was given to transform, and not enable, us.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
Love knows no sin it cannot heal.
Love gave His life to make it real.
Love wins because the Bible tells me so.
I write this post, humbled by my own sin. I am thankful
God loved me so much that Jesus died on the cross so save
me from myself. Daily I seek to lay aside my own desires and
ask God’s Spirit to train my heart so it beats in unison with
His. I would not even know how to love except God first
loved me. I write this post with hope for all my brothers and
sisters who struggle to keep our Faith.
As the world presses in, compromise is easy when we forget
our own deep need for salvation. I write with hope knowing it is never too
late to turn back from the World and run to open arms of our Father. Do you
regret where your decisions have taken you? Don’t give in to the voices of
fear because God promises to deal gently with everyone of His kids who are
distressed and alienated from His love (Hebrews 5:2).
I write this post knowing that we, the Church, need more than cake. We
need solid food to help us discern right from wrong, and assist us in doing
good deeds that bring glory to God’s name (Hebrews 5:14; 6:1).
God’s love is not an excuse to accept the sin that holds us back, but a salve to
heal our wounds and help us love like Him (Romans 6:1-3). Sadly, the Church
has at times forgotten this simple truth.
• Forgive me Father that in your name I have hurt others.
• Forgive me that instead of grace, I have offered condemnation.

Love Wins Because . . . continued
• Forgive me Father that I have allowed the culture to tell me hate was okay.
• Forgive me Father that I have used my words to alienate the very people you
died to heal.
Thank you Father that while I was still lost in sin, you loved me enough to
send your son Jesus to die on the cross, to raise Him from the dead, and adopt
me into your Family by the power of the Holy Spirit (1 John 1:9).
• Will you repent? • Will you trust? • Will you let God’s love win your heart?
Thank you God that, in Christ alone, love wins.

We Care Ministry report
On July 7 a Spirit-led ministry was implemented called the We Care Store.
The vision of this ministry is helping people with their basic need - food. The
We Care Store starts at the food need level with the goal of moving people into
Victory for Life on Tuesday evenings and even into the church body at TCCC.
This church-wide ministry was started with We Care Sunday on May 17. A
great outpouring of food items was given to stock the shelves of the We Care
Store. Special monetary donations were also given. The last Sunday of each
month is designated as We Care Sunday for additional giving of monetary and
food items to continue to serve people in need. Over 50 people volunteered to
serve under the leadership of Sharon Johnson in staffing the We Care Store to
meet and greet people.
From July 7 to July 30, 242 people have been blessed and the total value of food
given through the We Care Store has been $3,086.
The second vision is that people will move from the food need to a desire
to develop a plan for victory in life. This is also occurring as 11 adults and 4
children have been a part of Victory for Life on Tuesday evenings. The goal
for VFL is to help each indivdual develop a partnership with the Holy Spirit in
becoming a person of love, joy, peace, and self-control.
Thank you, Father, for the vision, ministry servants, and the
people to serve in the We Care Store.

Psalm 119:129-131
“Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives
understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and
pant, longing for your commands.”
When I first learned about prayer, that lesson
came from a 7th grade classmate’s gift of a plastic
box labeled “Daily Bread”. This little box contained
individual cards with a scripture on each one, front
and back. Some of the cards had verses from the
Book of Psalms. I realized that so many emotions
were expressed in this book and that reading them
out loud became my prayers. Being able to release
those emotions to God helped me to be comfortable
with praying.
As I have grown in my Christian walk, I have
learned that prayer is a two-way conversation. I
need to listen as well as speak to God. The problem
I faced was personalizing the Scriptures. Daily
readings seemed like stories or sermons given to the
Jews and early Christians, not me. Things began
to fall into place when I started reading Proverbs.
I felt as if God was instructing me about his ways
that would honor him. I finally began to feel the
full experience of prayer. That experience has
encouraged me to “pray without ceasing”.
As of now, prayer has become the foundation
of my faith. As a tree needs deep roots to survive
storms, my faith needs these deep roots of prayer as
its foundation to continue my daily walk with Him.

14. Drugs and Substance Abuse
Most of us know that drugs such as marijuana and cocaine
are immoral. We believe so strongly against such things! But
let me ask you this, do you know why it is wrong to do drugs?
Can you give legitimate answers to a person asking why you believe drugs
are wrong? There are many secular reasons as to why drugs are immoral,
however we, as the body of Christ, should be more interested about what
God has to say. What does the Bible say about drugs? Here are a few verses
to point you in the right direction.
Galatians 5:19-20 says, “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual
immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord
jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissension,
factions…” Notice the word “witchcraft” which
is used in the NIV. More accurate versions
use the word “sorcery”. In the time period in
which Galatians was written, this word was
used to refer to the misuse of plants. People
would use nature as a way to alter their state
of mind. Sounds familiar, right? According to
Paul, this is “acts of sinful nature.”
Philippians 2:3-4 says, “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but
with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
do not merely look out to your own interests, but also look to the interests of
others.” Both Christians and non-Christians, find physical reasons why drugs
are wrong. However, I want to focus more on the spiritual aspect; in the deep
root of the heart. When people first encounter drugs, unfortunately this is
out of selfish motives. If you have a relationship with Jesus, your interests
no longer take priority. Rather the interests of others takes priority, and the
interests of God take the upmost priority.
These are a few verses giving defense about this matter, and I encourage the
Church to educate yourself on what the Bible says on a deeper level about
this issue.

A new generation of “warriors” for God is
emerging! In the past several years we have focused
our church planting efforts among adults…training
leaders to evangelize, disciple and multiply cell
groups. But during all that time we have seen a great
need among the youth and children. We just kept
thinking, “if we can just reach them young enough
we can save them from the disastrous life choices made by those who have
gone before them.” But some of the “normal” ways of doing youth ministry
and children’s ministry didn’t seem to be making the impact we had hoped. So
we prayed, and we asked God for HIS help and guidance in this area and to
send us someone to focus on this vital ministry. God answered us in a big way!
First, he sent us a young man from Argentina (Juan David, 22 years old)
who committed to come for a year (but has now committed to come back for
a longer term) and help establish a specific ministry
among 12-17 year olds that challenges them in the
areas of evangelism, discipleship and even church
planting. It has been amazing to see the growth in
the lives of the youth. We are not just providing a
place to “keep them off the streets,” but we are now
sending them TO the streets as evangelists. They are
discipling and encouraging each other to live in radical commitment to JESUS.
As we saw the results among the youth, we were also praying for the children.
Our yearly VBS has been a major outreach event in the community. But year
after year we saw the same children come and felt like the message (though
planted) was not growing in their hearts to make a lasting change in their
lives and situations. So we asked
Juan David if there was a ministry
(similar to the youth ministry)
that had major impact in the
lives of children. He arranged for
another young man from Argentina
(Nehemias, 18 years old!) to come for the summer to help us radically change
our VBS and our children’s ministry. The impact, thus far, has been amazing!
Thank you for your prayers and partnership in the ministry!
Blessings,

Devotional Thought Week 1
TOUGH LOVE
Let me get straight to the point. When is the last time you
and I have talked to someone who doesn’t have a relationship
with Jesus about Christ Jesus? Sharing with non-believers
where we go to Church and posting scripture on Facebook,
doesn’t count. What I am talking about is having a face to face
conversation with non-believers about Jesus by walking through the gospel.
Some cannot say they have ever shared the gospel with a nonbeliever before.
These are some of the heart felt questions I have been
dealing with in the past few weeks. Are we as Christians
not supposed to be bold and courageous to communicate
the love of God to all people? Romans 10:17 says, “So
faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of
Christ.” How are people going to hear if you and I are not
sharing the gospel? How have we become so comfortable?
Am I the same person on Sunday morning as I am on
Wednesday morning? Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.” What if Tates Creek
persued with a greater passion and desire for the great commission?
I know sharing the gospel can be difficult, and
talking to someone about Jesus is so contrary to
our culture today. But isn’t sharing the gospel what
Christians are called to do? There is so much more
to Jesus’ claim “follow Me” than we can imagine. It
is a total surrender, which is giving everything you
have to God and trusting fully in Him. Church, let us step out of our own
comfort, be bold for the salvation of other individuals, and be the disciples
God is calling us to be. So today, tell someone about Jesus.
Today, be bold! ~ Conor Doyle

Devotional Thought Week 2
PILLAR OF TRUTH ~ I Timothy 3:15
When you think about the Church, what do you picture in
your mind? More importantly, when you read about the first
century church in the Bible, does today’s church model the same
characteristics of the Church that Jesus Christ gave His life for?
The early church was willing to risk everything to spread the gospel
message to an unfriendly and hostile world. They sacrificed of themselves for
the good of others. They were so bold in their faith in Jesus Christ and in their
love for others that the scriptures say they “enjoyed the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” In
other words, people took notice of the church, they liked what they saw, and
they wanted to be a part of God’s family.
Recently, our class concluded a lesson series on the Church entitled, “I See a
Church”. The lessons addressed the characteristics of the early church. The first
lesson reminded us that the church was created for God’s people to be together
for support and encouragement, and we have been placed in our church for a
reason. (Ephesians 2:19-22). Secondly, the church is a place where we should
experience the power and presence of God. Acts 2:43 says that “Everyone
was filled with awe...” Do we stand in awe in God’s presence and marvel as He
demonstrates His power?
Next, we learned that the Church must grow smaller as we grow larger. The
church is commanded to grow but in growing larger, we must connect with
people in a way that they feel welcomed, wanted and that they belong. Do you
eagerly welcome new people into your hearts and fellowship?
The last three points of the lesson series deal with our attitude as a church.
The church must be built on the sacrifices of many not just the gifts of a few.
The church must care as much about those who will be as those who already
are. And lastly, the church must honor the past but be willing to risk it all
for the future. Are we a self-centered church or a selfless church? Are we
willing to set aside our personal preferences in order to reach out to others that
desperately need the Lord? Are we willing to get out of our comfort zones and
take bold chances in order to demonstrate Christ’s sacrificial love for those who
don’t know him? We are the Church of Jesus Christ, not the church of Danny
Branham or Tommy Simpson or (insert your name) and when the church acts
like the Church, then we are truly the Pillar and Foundation of Truth!

18. THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO ~ II Timothy 3:16-17
The Apostle Paul wrote Timothy with this assurance, “All
Scripture is God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16 NIV) or as the (KJV)
declares, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God”. Paul was
stating that all Scripture is absolutely truthful, complete, and with
a purpose.
Scripture dictates our moral as well as our spiritual behavior. We are guided
by “The Truth.” Without proper Spiritual guidance we would allow personal
behavior and opinions to influence our standard of living.
The written Word of God is complete and timely for all generations and never
outdated. The writer of Hebrews 7:25 words it this way: “Therefore He (Jesus)
is able to save those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to
intercede for them.”
In addition to salvation, the written Word of God adds another purpose.
Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in
righteousness. Someone once said that learning is “a continuous process
whereby an individual changes their behavior pattern.” And teaching is aiding
this process along. Whether we are instructed from the pulpit, in a classroom or
at home we never outgrow the need to obtain righteousness. Regardless of years
of experience or age sometimes we fail and need Spiritual growth and strength.
Paul points out the need for rebuking and correcting. Many times this involves
self-disciplining. However, there are times when rebuking and correcting must
be administered by someone else, but with a very compassionate and gentle
approach. I am reminded of a poem written by John Clifford.
The Anvil of God’s Word
Last eve I paused beside the blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers, worn with beating year of time.
‘How many anvils have you had’, said I,
‘To wear and batter all these hammers so?’
‘Just one’, said he, and then with twinkling eye,
‘The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.’
And so, I thought, the Anvil of God’s Word
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone.

Devotional thought Week 3
19. PERSON OF TRUTH ~ John 14:6
As a UK medical school neuroscience professor, my work
involves teaching medical and graduate students about how
the nervous system functions and what happens when it
becomes diseased or injured. It is obviously essential that I
am dedicated to presenting information in my lectures that
is as accurate, up to date, and as truthful as I can make it. In
addition, much of my time is spent directing laboratory research which is
focused on the discovery of drug treatments that, when administered to
patients after a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, will act to preserve the
damaged, but initially surviving, nervous
tissue from undergoing degeneration. The
more nerve cells and brain circuits that are
saved during the first hours determines how
much neurological functional recovery will
take place. In my published research papers
and oral presentations it is critical that I
remain dedicated to conveying the truth
concerning my findings, whether positive
or negative. Indeed, during the training of my graduate students who will
carry on the efforts of my generation, one of my repeated instructions to
them is that they never compromise their integrity; that they are always
honest about the details of their experiments and results. However,
sometimes the results of our experiments are confusing making our ability
to decide whether or not the drug works in protecting injured nervous
tissue uncertain, requiring us to do additional studies before giving up.
As a Christian, in sharp contrast to my sometimes uncertain research
results, I am comforted that in the most important area of my life, I can
place my full certainty in what Jesus, my Lord and Savior, has presented
to me in John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.” In other words, the only path to salvation
and eternal life is through my belief that Jesus is who He says He is. His
declaration is as unchangeably true and faithful as it was 2000 years ago.
Jesus was and will always remain the Person of Truth.
