? Conference from page B5 ered an adult. Stein also was open to researching the proposal of having a third party prose cutor preside over police shooting cases to avoid any biases along with working with the Ministers' Conference about helping former prisoners and low income individuals with reclaiming their driver's licenses. Stein wanted to make it clear that he has the utmost respect for Roy Cooper. He said he and Cooper are both human beings but "there may be matters where we come to different determinations based on the same information." Stein wanted to let the people know that he will take a fresh look at matters that concern the people of North Carolina. He said his track record will show the voters what he will do as attorney general. "I have experience hav ing served as senior deputy attorney general for eight years and as a state sena tor," Stein continued. "I have stood up for people and taken on powerful interests to look out for the people's interest, and peo ple can have confidence that I will do that as attor ney general." Lesson . jrom page dj cution suffered by believ ers now are nothing com pared to Christ's suffering (verse 3). Paul recalls Proverbs 3:11-12 saying the trials and suffering in a Christian's life are what God uses to educate and discipline believers. These experiences are evidence of God's love for His chil dren (verses 5-6). All are imperfect and need disci pline and training. True children of God are all chastened at one time or another however God chooses (verses 7-8). No discipline is a sign of not being a true son of God (verse 8). We respect our earthly fathers for disci plining us. Respect for God equals our submission to His will and law and for those who willingly receive the Lord's chasten ing a richer and more abundant life will be had. Respect then should be given to both "human fathers" and the "Fathers of our spirits" (verse 9). Paul continues saying God's discipline is always perfect as He is perfect and is always for the spiritual good of His children (verse 10). Discipline itself is never pleasant, but the m*L result of it is peace and righteousness (verse 11). Paul exhorts here to not let trials and circumstances get the best of you, but regroup and face your cir cumstances with new strength from God (verses 12-13). For Your Consideration: God's dis cipline is "for our profit." Think how you have been affected in your faith by His chastening. Does this knowledge change your view of suffering? Life's Application: The process of discipline involves training, educat ing and correcting, and is accomplished in various ways. It requires effort, love, time, consistency, sacrifice, pain and a degree of difficulty, but it is neces sary in order to experience growth. (UMI Annual Commentary 2016-2017). The thought of the experi ence of being disciplined is or can be daunting. We must approach each facet of it with the idea that "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them whp are the called according to his pur pose," (Romans 8:28) a verse that . you should already have hidden in your heart.

Dr. Dennis Leach, pastor of Morning Star, said when one of his mem bers came to him with- the idea of hosting the candi dates, he thought it was a great idea. "It's a chance for us to hear them and maybe leant a little bit more about their platform," Leach said. "We also have to remem ber how important it is to vote because of those who have come before us who fought, struggled, bled and died for our right to vote." N.C. Supreme Court candidate Bob Edmunds says he has been on the court for 16 years and is running on his record and experience. Edmunds also said?

Aaron Berlin, district court judge candidate, said it's always been a desire of his to serve and protect the community. He said the service to otHers and the safety of our communities have always been impor tant to him. "I feel like it's impor tant to give back to the community, that I love," said Berlin. "I have exten sive courtroom experience, more than anyone in the race." Berlin also said he enjoys working in the com munity and being a judge is not just the work you put in inside the courtroom. He said he worked with a com munity outreach program to assist in helping individ uals get their driver's licenses back.
