/ / Page 4, Watt Craven HIghlighta, January 5,1884 CHURCH Tabernacle Holiness Church Along the pathway of life, the old year passes on and the new year is born. With the ending of the old year and beginning of the new, there were many parties over the land and many invitations given. Some accepted, some rejected, but there is one that has been given, and it's very important that you accept it. If you accept the invitation of our Lord, it's the end of the old way of life and the beginning of the new. 2 Cor. 6:17. Now that the old year has passed, and the new year has been ushered in, accept the invitation of our Lord Jesus and be ushered into the beginning of a new life so the new year will be your best year ever. Mt. 11:28.

Sharing Hands Reach Out Good News To Help Seniors By DOROTHY FILLINGAME The good news from the Word of God for this week comes from Romans 14:16. The apostle Paul wrote this to the Church at Rome, “Let not then your good be evil spoken of.” Some questions have come to me today that we as Christians should ask ourselves often during this New Year, 1984. How effective is my testimony as a Christian? A Christian is a follower of Christ Jesus, A disciple to witness to others about our Lord and Savior. A new creature, saved and cleaned up by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Cleaned up from what we may ask? From all uncleanness caused by sin. We have been griven a new mind, a new spirit that dwells in a clean temple. This new creature now seeks the things of God, he strives to lay up his treasures in heaven instead of here on earth. His pleasure is to serve God, to live by his Commandments and to be a faithful witness for his Son, Jesus Christ. Are we keeping ourselves set apart from the worldly things that would ensnare us again? Are we of one mind and accord with the Word of God? or are we ever changing, believing one thing today and another tomorrow? The Word says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8. Let us know the Word of God, learn his way and hold fast to that he has taught us through his Spirit, the Holy Ghost. Let us keep our testimonies clear and true, then we can be fruitful witnesses for Christ Jesus. What sources are available to the senior citizen?
