The ' Sunday chool Lesson by John R Brayhoy Sai i m Missionary Baptist Church Challenges to Our Fait James 1:2-4, 12-15 19-27 Outline I When Trials Conic (James 1:2-4i II When Temptation Becomes Sin (James 1:12-15) III. When Submission Brings hreedom (James 1:19-25) IV When Religion Is Pure (James 1:26-27) /. When Trials Comes (James 1:2-4) Our lesson this week has to do with the testing of our faith. James tells us that we are to count it a blessing when we are faced with trials. Many time we do just the opposite, and become discouraged. in our Christian w alk we w ill be faced w ith temptations, but it is for our own good. When we overcome a trial, we are strengthened in our faith. What we gain from the testing of our faith is patience. Manv of us do not want trails i that is the way to have paticncc In order to grow into mature Christians. we must allow patience to be at work in our lives. Wewijl not be sinless, but we are always to be striving for perfection. Trials in our Christian life will help us to grow into mature Christians. Our patience w ill notlongerbeas short as a fuse. We w ill think before we speak, and act instead of reacting to a situation. 11. When Temptations become . Sin (James 1:12-15) When we endure temptation, w e are blessed. James states here that those who stand against trials will receive a crow n of life. People w ho truly love the Lord will not give in to temptation but will endure for Christ's sake. Those who are saved, who may falter will be remorseful and sorrowful for being overtaken by temptation. God our Father does not tempt any man. Therefore, if anyone says that he is tempted of God. he lias lied. Now God allows the devil to bring temptations our way to help us grow in faith. Temptations come from two sources, one is of a person s own lust, the other conies from the devil himself. When we allow lust to have control in our lives, we are drawn away from God. Temptation is not sin. but when wc act on the temptation it then becomes sin An opportunity (temptation) nui> conic along to make a lot of mono illegally, thai is not sin until we decide to take part in the temptation Then there is a price that we must pay for taking part in the temptation The Bible tells us that there is pleasure in sin lot a season, but w hen the season is passed there is a pay day for (he pleasure 111. When Submission Brings Freedom (James I.1V-25) Someone said that wcought to listen twice as much as we speak In most cases, with most of us. the opposite is true. If we hear God s word and hide it in our heart, we will be slow to speak Almost every time we w ill think txforc we speak We will not say things that w ill cause hard feelings or an exchange of blows Anger toward others is not an act of God s righteousness. James tells us to put away those things that defile. Also, w e arc not to do things that are w icked or wrOng toward others. To avoid doing those things, we need to have the word of God in our heart's. The word ofGod w ill change the life of the vilest sinner, if he w ill accept it in his heart. We arc lobe more than hearers or the word. We arc to be doers also We deceive ourselves w hen we do not practice what God's word teachers us to do In our Christian life we need to be an example to the world that it will see Christ manifested through our li\cs. When we fail to do w hat God tells us in His word, we gorget who we arc and where god has brought us from When we put into practice what God has taught us in His word, we not only learn more about God. but we learn more about ourselves. Putting God's word into practice will help us to look in the perfect law of liberty The Grace of Jesus Christ w ill enable us not to forget what we hear. If we do what God would have us do. we will be blessed. IV. When Religion Is Pure (James 1:26-27) James tells us that a person who practices religion, but docs not set a Godly example before the world! deceives himself. When people do not practice what they preach, they arc hypocrites. A man who practices false religion has a vain religion. Many a person w ill go to hell from a church pew who has been faithful to church, but who never gave their heart to God. I remind us all that Jesus told Nicodcmus three times in fixc Verses that "ye must be born again " Pure religion is to \ isn the orphan and w idows A true Christian will keep his life clean and be an example before the world Our responsibility to God is to let the world sec Jesus in us. To the unsaved. I plead with you not , to let the devil deceive you into believing that if you go to church you w ill be with hypocrites. Sure, there are some hypocrites in church, bus as someone said. 1 would rather go to church with iiem llian lo spendclcriui> in hell v\ uh hem Remember, if you go to hell, it mII be because y ou made the choice It s not God s \\ ill that any should perish. >ui that all should come lo repentance God bless you all until next week Jray for us you read it in the Carolina Indian Voice More on the politics of the PSV name change Dear F.diior Greetings of the Da> which was created by the Holy Spirit of Creation My Robesonian Friends As you relax. while inhaling the Holy BreathofLifc.youwill eventually realize the 'Deception' which has been expressed by Senator David Parnell against the name change for Pembroke State University It isbcing said that our Senator David Paincll promised the PSU Chancellor. Joseph Oxcndinc. that he will not jeopardize the name change for the sake of petty politics Be it Known My Friends: Sen Parnell. David Wcinstein. now Senator-Elect. and Pembroke Stale Rep Ronnie Sutton accompanied Chancellor Joseph Oxcndinc. by the invitation of The Honorable Fiances McArll'mr Curnmiiigs. to the Legislative OfTicc Building to witness the "seed-planting" of House Bill 1072 which was discussed and. subsequently, approved in the presence of the Joint Legislative Education Committee Senator David Parnell. being who he truly is in character, decided to vv it Itdraw his promise to Chancellor Oxcndinc. then, hastened a Senate Companion Bill which was unnecessary'. thus, causing minds to be eonfused over the PSU name change and creating a delay in its becoming law The Scripture says. "Let Your Yes be Yes, and your No be No " Since so much "Deceptive. Political, Unfair Strategies' have been practiced by Law makers of the NC General Assemble I will sav. "Let the Name Change NEVER become LAW " According to Mark Slinncford. Fay etteville Times (5/26/96). The Senate was eager to PASS its own Bill with Unusual Speed (Smile) so asto "Honor' Sen. David Parnell lite Senate had expected the NC House of Representatives to continue the "UNLAWFUL AND IMMORAL'' traditional acts But. the Speaker of the House. Harold I Brubakcr. allowed the Senators and Members of the Democratic Political Part to look upon him as a "Man w ho is , I filled with Courage w MALI the "Wickedness" performed in High Places b\ holding the Scale of Justice in his law-abiding hands I lie Republicans did not \ iolatc legislative courtcss to get Rep Frances M Cummings re-elected 1 lie fact is thai on November 5. 1996.

Ron Sutton has proven to be very 'unthankful' for good deeds tendered on his behalf and the people of his House District 85 I will say. "The Chancellor of PSU should speak the TRUTH and cease being as a "SWINGING BRIDGE."

Rnx 910 Pembroke, N.C. 20.02 Along the Robeson Trail by Dr. Stan Knick, Director PSU Native American Resource Cent'r In the last three segment we have been lcjpkfog at music and_imisical instruments of traditional Native America. We have looked at rattles and^Tlutcs, and three pes of traditional drums. This week we turn to the remainder of the Native American drums. Of course a great many things can be (and have been) used as traditional percussion instruments. In the Northwest Coast, culture area, the people of several nations (i.e., Tlingit, Kwakiutl) fashion elaborate drums in the form of boxes made out of wood. Often these boxes are painted with personal and clan totem symbols ("totem" is an Algonkian language family word derived from otoleman, "his relations"). Woven baskets can also be used as percussion instruments. In California as well as in the Southwest, Native American baskets were (are) beaten as drums. One musical advantage to the basket-drum is that it can also be scraped as a rasp, another kind of percussion instrument. - But the one instrument most often associated with Native American culture is the double-headed drum. It is sometimes called the "powwow drum," but might more properly be called "ceremonial drum." All over the Plains, Southwest and Eastern Woodlands, Native people have made and used these doubleheaded hide-covered drums. Some scholars assert that the double-headed drum is a relatively modern ? that is, post-Europcan-contact ? instrument among Native Americans (for example, see Harold Driver's Indians of North America). However, Native American traditional legends tell us of such drums being played long before non-Indians came to this continent.' There are two main varieties of the Native American double-headed ceremonial drum. Among Southwest Native nations (i.e., Pueblo), doubleheaded drums are most often deeper than they arc wide. J.H. Harris' The Book of Indian Crafts describes these Southwest drums as being "generally twice as deep as the diameter of their heads." Among Plains and Eastern Woodlands nations, double-headed drums arc usually wider than they arc deep. Double-headed drums were originally made (and in some cases, still arc) by stretching animal hides over the ends of a section of hollow log. Since European contact, and especially since the late nineteenth century, other materials have been adapted for use as the frame for doubleheaded drums. Some of these postcon tactNativc American drum frames have been made from old cheese boxes' (the lcind that "wheels" or "hoops" of cheese used to come in) which have been taken apart agd reassembled by lacing them together in larger forms. Some Pueblo-type drums (deeper than they are wide) have been made from old nail kegs and other small wooden barrels. In more modern times, some double-headed drums have been made using the frame from a discarded orchestra bass-drum. Properly prepared elk, deer or cow hide can be used to make the heads. Sometimes these "powwow drums" are decorated by painting (on the head, frame or both) or occasionally by attaching other items such as feathers or ribbons. In traditional Native American culture, the beat of the drum symbolizes the heartbeat of The People and of Mother Earth. It is a sound as old as The People themselves, as old as Turtle Island, and when we hear it today it sings to us of connecting the past with the present and the future.
