nOBLEMS FAMILIES
FACE
God is concerned about
every problem families face.
The lesson today is about
problems families face.
Christian families live by faith
in Jesus Christ with the
confidence that all problems
can be solved or overcome.
The real focus of this lesson is
not problems, but victory over
problems by faith in Jesus
Christ. God's love for us
through Jesus Christ is stron
ger than any problem we may
foce.
PROBLEMS OF THE SINGLE
PARENT
In Bible times, as it is
now, the parent with depen
dent children was usually the
mother. It was difficult for
such a one to provide for
herself and her children.
.Single mothers were easy
targets of mistreatment. Thus
provisions were laid down in
the law to protect and to
nroviH# for curh mothers and
their children.
More then half the women
in developed countries who
work outside the home to
earn a living are heads of
households; and most of them
occupy low-paying jobs.
Another problem the single
parent faces is the task of
raising children alone. When
there is a mother and a father,
they usually reinforce each
other's authority in the home;
but a single parent stands
alone, ft is the problem of
making decisions alone and of
feeling isolated.
Some churches now have
programs of minstry to single
adults and single parents. But
even if your church does not
have such a program, you as a
Christian should care about
single parents and their prob
lems. You should see that
your church becomes a com
munity of faith where singles,
especially single parents, can
find moral and spiritual help.
We should treat singles with
respect, and insist that society
deal with them fairly.
PUTTING DOWN NEW
BOOTS
Four thousand years ago
Abraham and his fiunily ex
perienced a problem which
modern families experience
with increasing frequency. It
is the problem of moving to a
new location and putting
down new roots.
If a move is made only for
better wages, a higher posi
tion, or the attainment of
a position of power, we may
not be able tqjustify ourselves
in uprooting IWt family.. We
miv nin the world, but we
may also lose our family. With
Abraham it was different.
When he moved from Ur to
Horan and then to Canaan, it
was at the direction of God.
Fsmilies on the move need
to know that the church is a
community of fellow pilgrims
whose permanent citizenship
and home is in heaven. The
one place where families
should feel most at home is
the church. Making new
families welcome in our chur
ch is an important ministry.
Jesus was often a guest in
the home of Lazarus, Martha
and Mary. They were some of
his best friends and devoted
disciples and Jesus had ?
special interest hi than. But
Lazarus became sick and
died. Jesus was to come to the
family and raise Lrazarus
from the dead; bet until he
came. Mary and Martha were
to endure die burden of their
brother's illness and death.
How different the situation
became when Jesus arrived!
How different any situation
becomes when Jesus arrives!
We know that if our world
were perfect, and if God's
perfect will had always pre
vailed. there likely would be
neither sickness nor .death in
our world. Such is not the
case, however, for all people,
including Christians, suffer
illness, and it is appointed
unto every person to die. The
closeness of the Bethany
family to Jesus did not keep
them from being touched by
illness and death.
Due to the illness of one of
the teachers, Mrs. Mary
Oxendine. the class went to
have class with her Sunday.
She is doing some better. We
ask our readers to remember
her in your prayers.
The Adult Gsss had the^
program Sunday. The Lord'
sent a mighty shadow of his
spirit on our souls as the
group sang under the power
of God. Some were shouting
while others were blessed in
other ways. Praise the Lord, I
for one, got a special touch.
The Primary Gass receivec
the attendance banner Sun
day. This is the class of my
special friend. Sister Macy.
Brother Dosta Jr. opened
worship service Sunday. The
Lord used him in a big way.
The pastor took his text
fromActs 16. reading from
verses 25 to 32, using for his
subject "Deliverance." Oh
how the Holy Ghost used him
to deliver die word to the
people. The power of God
moved on the congregation.
We experienced a great day at
church.
The Rev. Clester Carter,
along with some Christian
friends of his visited in our
home. It is great to have
Christians drop in for prayer.
Prayer is great. Along with
faiih. miracle* cm be per>
Dear reader. please keep
our family op your prayer list.
Yes. I am expecting a miracle.
Pray for Sister Fibre Ann

hospital but still isn't dbfog
