We praise God for his many
blessings and for each child of
God. We can look around and
say surely God is great to the
United States but does this
country still believe in God
like they once did. The answer
is "no" because this country
has fallen so low from God
where it once believed. But
God has not changed and he is
going to take care of his
children in America, because
things are getting so bad he is
soon to take his children home
to heaven. Church, look up for
we are almost at home.
Mothers and fathers we soon
will be through shedding
tears over our lost children.
He cares for us and he is
getting tired of seeing his
children shedding so many
tears over loved ones that
seem to not care for them
selves.
Our lesson "Kept by God's
Power." The Lord is faithful,
who shall sustain you and
keep you from evil: regardless
of Use conditions that sur
round us. our confidence rests
in the trustworthiness of God.
So church Keep your faith
in God and stand on his Word
because his Word is true.
Sinner, you repent and turn to
God. he will be the best friend
you ever had. Try Him and
see that he is good and his
love lasts forever.

by Mrs. Leacie Brooks^^
,Sunday School was opened
wfh a song by the pastor's
wife, entitled "Victory in
-Jesus." A great time was
experienced through the dis
cussion of today's lesson. The
presence of the Lord was
greatly felt.
Our theme is "A Church
the World Noticed." Subject
for this special was "Kept by
God's Power."
Paul returned to his familar
theme of giving thanks to
God. for the faith of the
Thessalonian Christians. As
in other instances he used
different and endearing words
concerning his friends, calling
them "beloved of the Lord."
He reminded them that God
had from the beginning cho
se them to salvation. This is
not to say that God chose the
Thessalonians above others,
but that he even front the
beginning, had chosen the
means of salvation for thcni.
as for all others who will
accept salvation. God had
revealed this means of salsa
tion through the sanctification
as accomplished by the Holy
Spirit.
The santifying pow er of the
Spirit, in fact, is in effect in
the believers from the begin
ning of the slavation process:
and through his experiences
of santification. a believer is
cleansed from both willful
sins and inherited sin. being
made clean in every respect.
Paul also reminded the
Thessalonians of their calling
to the gospel-the same gos
pel w hich he had preached to
thcm--and which had resulted
in their obtaining glory as
from their Lord Jesus Christ.
The thought here is that the
Thessalonian Christians were
indeed partakers of salvation,
and had been made such
through their choice to salva
tion Ihrgtigh the Holy Spirit in
sanctification.
Paul exhorted them to
stand last in their laith and to
hold lo the traditions w hich he
had established by his teach
ings and letters. Paul was a
champion of strong spiritual
foundation and everything he
did was in the interest of
assisting people to stand last
in the Lord. He realized that a
foundation consisting of
Christ and His Word would
never crumble: snd as long as
his converts stood upon such a
foundation they would be
safe. He continually exhorted
them to hold to their spiritual
traditions.
The Thessalonians had
been saved by the acceptance
of the gospel: but. in the.
beginning, the means of
salvation had been chosen to
it. Moreover, salvation would
be -maintained in them
through the same divine
power that provided it in the
beginning.
Paul asked that the Thes
salonians pray for him as well
as for Silas and Timothy, that
their message might be glori
fied in others as it was in the
Thessalonians. Haul desired
that there be no obstruction to
hinder him in the "free
coursc"tfrve running) of the
gospel to the glory of Cod.
He also asked the Thes
alonians to pray that he might
be "delivered from unreason
able and wicked men." He
made the point clear by
reminding them that "all men
have not faith." The unrea
sonable men of Haul's day
were those who would not
accept the truth under any
circumstances. They held fast
only to what they wanted to
hold last to. They believed
only what they wanted to
believe. They were unreason
able: and they were also
wicked. What these wicked
people believe and w hat they
did was not for the spiritual
good of anyone, but only to
.satisfy their wicked desires.
But Paul soon returned to
his reminders that the Lord
was faithful to the Thessalon
ians and would establish
thcm-morc than they had ever
been-and would preserve
tlicni from any evil of their
day.
Jesus will do the same for
us today we must have faith.
Proud to announce the
