Don't reject the bible
By MICHAEL A. GUIDO
A famous music company
mailed out brochures listing
violins for $37 and a man
ordered one. A 400-year-old
Stradivarius was sent by
mistake.
But the man Pejeciod it,
saying, "I want a shiny new
violin for that money."
Some reject the Bible be-
cause they say it's old, but
:
i
it's not outdated. They say
it lacks the glitter of today,
but: it has the glory of to-
MOITOW.
Itjpresents a Father who
cares for me, a Saviour who
loved me and gave Himself
for me, and a haven where
I'll live forever in perfect
health and happiness.
Don't make the mistake
of rejecting the Bible.
Accept it and obey it.

{ MISSIONS
MORNING STAR BAPTIST CHURCH is a i Believing the Great Commis-
Bible centered full-service church. Just as i sion - Christ's last command
WE BELIEVE - The fundamentals of Bible
doctrine. These include the Bible as ithe
infallible, inerrant, Holy Ghost inspired
Word of God; the Deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the
world; His virgin birth; substitutionary
death; bodily resurrection; His premillen-
nial, pretribulation coming for the Church;
His Millennial reign on the Earth; the
person of the Holy Ghost as the indwelling
presence of God of everybeliever; the Holy
Ghost is Teacher, Guide, and Deliver of
everybeliever. (A complete doctrinal state-
ment, articles of faith, constitution, and
by-laws are available upon request.)
SUNDAY SCHOOL
SUNDAY SCHOOL, at least here at Morning Star Bap-
tist Church, is not just for children. It is for Moms, and
Dads, and even Grandparents. With classes designed
for every age level, the entire family can attend and be
taught the word of God in a very reverent and practical
manner. The Bible tells us that we should "study to
show ourselves approved unto God." The Sunday School
# hour helps all attendees carry out that command, and to
implement Christian growth which depends on a steady
$ diet and study of spiritual food from God's Word. (1
8 Peter 2:1,2; II Timothy 2:15; Romans 10:17)
some banks claim to meet the full and com-
of each individual and family that is a part
of our church. With this in mind we are con-
stantly looking to the Lord for leadership
and direction. We hope that our program is
geared to meet the needs of the complete
Christian character of our members. We
also wish to reach the community and world
with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in
the New Testament manner set forth in
scripture.
With the enabling of the Holy Ghost we can
carry forth this philosophy.
TEENAGERS
is our first priority. He in-
plete financial needs of the family, it is our :
desire to meet the complete spiritual needs !
structed His followers to
reach "Jerusalem" and the
"Judea", and the uttermost
parts of the world. In obedi-
;ence to that command the
commission of Matthew
28:19-20 we have undertaken
both home and foreign mis-
‘sions. Morning Star supports
thirty-six missionaries and
mission work on the field
“with the missionary. As the
Lord prospers us we take on
new projects.
TEENAGERS are the immediate future of our ministry, and we are
committed to providing them with life long Biblical principles.
Besides Sunday's regular programming, there is a special teen
program in cur AWANA Group held every Tuesday during the school
season. Two groups (Jr. and Sr. High) meet for Bible study, fellow-
ship, and inspiration. Trips, retreats,
around add spice to the life of our teens.
We believe that teens need the same diet of the Word of God today
as they were given in past generations in order to live full meaningful
lives in this day and hour. We also understand their need for
and special activities year
Christian friendship and activity in a day when satan and the world
has much to offer.
