Our lesson today is taken
from 3 books of the Bible.
Esther 9:17-22. Mark 6:30-32,
and I Corinthians 3:16-17,
6:19-20. The subject being,
"Leisure Time."
As Christians, we are called
to be good stewards of every
aspect of our living. Many
people tend to think of leisure
time as wasted time; but
leisure time used wisely is
beneficial to our physical and
spiritual health, and brings
glory to God. In the lesson
today we see how Christian
families can use leisure time
in keeping with their faith.
Every believer in Jesus
Christ is a temple of God. it is
important to realize in this
connection that the New Test
ament distinquishes between
the indwelling of the Spirit
and the baptism of the Spirit.
But for today's lesson it is
perhaps of more importance
to realize that, as temples of
the Spirit, we are called to live
under the control of the Holy
Spirit. When we respect our
selves as temples of the Holy
Spirit, we will use our time,
especially our leisure time, in
a manner that pleases God.
We should never use our
leisure time to satisfy any
desire for sinful pleasure.
Leisure is not evil in itself but
evil does appear in many
forms of leisure, from which
we are commanded to abstain
Whatever we do, in word or
in deed, we should do in the
name of Christ. We carry His
name and are obligated to
live up to the holy standard
for which it stands. We should
use our leisure time in the
name of Christ, without sin
ning either in words, in
deeds, or in attitute; at the
same time giving thanks to
God.
No matter how important
things may be, there is a limit
to how much we can work or
give ourselves in service to
'others. By the example Christ
set, we know that at certain
times He will call us away
from the burdens of our work
and service to rest and renew
ourselves.
The people of our time still
use holidays for leisure and
pleasure but many of them
exclude any thought of God in
their celebrations.
A life, with no leisure
makes our religion seem as a
burden and the demands of
our faith as oppressive. This
ought not to be so. Everything
we do in our leisure time
should reflect on acknowled
gement of our relationship to
God.
I'm proud to announce that
Sister Flora Ann Jernington,
Sister Macie Oxendine, and.
Sister Nancy Ann Oxendine
was able to be in church.
The youth class put on a
program of singing. The Jr.
Oass received the attendance
banner. Sister Floria Ann paid
her birthday offering to the
church.
The'brotherhood did some
good singing.
The pastor preached from
Job 14 chapter. Using for a
title, "Through It All." The
Lord used him in a mighty
way.

"All these extra things"...
We thank the God for extra
things...You send along our
way...Both when our days are
shinny bright... And when our
skies are gray...Just why do
you do all die extra things for
us...Dear Lord, we just don't
know how to say...It must be
why you saved us...So one
day your life you gave...
That's why I'm happy today...
I thank you God, for this I feel
in my heart, today....Please
Pray for us at EverGreen.
