Church News
by Mrs. Leacie Brooks
The superintendent wel
comed each one, especially
Mrs. Annie Mae Oxendine to
church. Proud to have her in
the adult class with us.
The subject for Sunday's*.
lesson was "The Family and
Finances."
* While many people are
successful at making, invest
ing and saving money, these
are not the most important
aspirations for a Christian or a
Christian family. Our interest
should go beyond money
matters. We should be con
cerned with being good stew
ards of our earthly possessi
ons and to acknowledge God
as the giver of all things. We
must "seek...first the king
dom of God, and his right
eousness," and then expect
material things necessary for
our survival to be "added
unto" us. (Matthew 6:13)
THE POSSESSIONS
WE HOLD
In Luke we join Jesus as
He was teaching. As He spoke
He was interrupted by a
covetous young man who
desired that Jesus act as a
judge over the family inherit
ance. The young man's father
had died and, according to the
law of Moses, the young
man's elder brother had been
given the double portion of
the inheritance. The young
man hoped Jesus would alter
the law. But Jesus refused,
for it had already been settled
by the law of Moses.
We learn something of
modern society from th?
young man's attitude. The
more possessions we have the
better we will live.
In the meantime, we are
commanded to be content
with God's provisions for the
necessities of life.
Love for money is the root
of all evil. Notice that money
itself is not necessarily evil,
but the love of it is evil.
THE OBLIGATIONS WE
MAKE
The truth is that we are
Gtxl's people and our success
lies in the fact that He loves
us. What our neighbors have
is not important to God. In
Him there is no thought of
keeping up with anyone or
anything but His love and
concern for us.
Now let us see another
modern danger to our families
credit buying. The availability
of financial credit often makes
it easy to yield to the
temptation of buying what we
do not need. The motto is
"Buy now. Pay later." We
must remember at this point
that credit, like money, is not
evil. But it will become evil if
we use it unwisely. We should
not obligate ourselves to make
time payments unless we are
reasonably sure we can meet
them. In Romans 13:8 the
Bible commands us:"Owe no
man anything." This does not
mean we should never buy
things on credit, but that we
should pay our debts accord
ing to the payment agreement
THE GIFTS WE BRING
We see from the Bible
verses under consideration
that we are required to be
good stewards of our posses
sions. In Biblical times a
steward was one appointed to
manage wisely the property,
business, or household of
another. If he did not so
manage, he was relieved of
his duties. So it is with us. We
have been appointed by God
to be stewards of the wealth
He has placed under our
jurisdiction. We have the
privilege to use and manage
God's possessions for Him.
We acknowledge in tithing -
and giving that the earth and
all its resources belong to
God. If we succeed in our
stewardship, He will bless us
with greater responsibility. If
we fail. He has the right to
relieve us.
The paying of 10 percent of
our income plus additional
offerings are marks of good
stewardship. The principle by
which we determine our tithe
and our gifts is simple. The
more our income the more the
tithe (the tenth) will be.
The more our income, the
more we should give beyond
the tithe. But whether our
tithe be large or small, and
whether our giving be little or
much, it is required of us as
stewards to be faithful to God
as He has prospered us.

"CLIMB 'TIL YOUR
DREAMS COME TRUE"
By Judy WMdns
Often your tasks will be
many...And more than you
think you can ever do...Often
the road will be rugged...And
tKe hills insurmountable, too..
But always remember, the
hills ahead..*Are never as
steep as they seem... And with
Faith in your heart start
.upward...And climb 'til you
reach your dream....For noth
ing in life that is worthy...Is
ever too hard to achieve...If
you have the courage to try
it...And you have the Faith to
believe...For Faith is s force i
that is greater than know
ledge or power or skill...And
many defeats tum to triumph.
If you trust in God's wisdom
and will...For Faith is a mover
of mountains...There's noth
ing that God cannot do...So
start out today with Faith in
your heart...And "Climb 'Til
Your Dream Comes True!"...
Please pray for us at
EverGteen.
When you pay your
taxes, do you ever stop to
think of what you are
contributing to?
