LET THE BIBLE SPEAK.

Fathers Are Still Relevant! By R.W. McAlister     It seems that as a result of the growing "feminist movement," some in our society downplay the role of the man in the family and some think that a father is really not needed, but that simply isn’t true.     In many cases, the welfare check has replaced the father. Every family functions at its best when both the father and the mother are present and are both contributing to the family’s growth. According to God’s Word, the man is to be the head of the family. As Paul said, I Corinthians 11:2-3 “ Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God .”     When a dad follows His God given role, he will learn to be the spiritual leader in the family. He will be the head of the wife, understand that he must in turn be subject to

Dancing Study to show thyself approved. Let us reason together on the inside page. Hopefully, from time to time on this "Inside Page" of our bulletin, you will come and let us reason and study together topics of mutul interest. The "Inside Page" is not where you will find news and announcements. Rather we invite you to get out your Bible, read what is stated here and then compare and see if these things are in harmony with Scripture. --James S. McDonald, Jr. Modern dancing in all of its forms is sinful and leads to other sinful practices. It is true that the devil, who knows more scripture than many "Christians," has rightfully said, "Well, what book, chapter, and verse says, 'Thou shalt not dance?"' Of course, there is no such statement, but the Bible, nevertheless, has much to say on the subject. Let us study this subject together. What has led to much confusion among many people is the fact that the Bible mentions

Faithful Sayings of a Christian                As the Apostle Paul writes to the young evangelist Timothy, he reminds him of several faithful Christian sayings that he must never forget.  These sayings are designed to encourage Christians never to forget where they came from and where they are going.  Notice what these statements are.              “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief”  (1 Tim. 1:15).  The Christian must never forget that Christ came to save all sinners (Luke 19:10).  However, on a more personal lever the Christian must remember that Christ came to save me—a chief of sinners (Rom. 3:23; Ezek. 18:4; Isa. 59:1-2).              “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.  For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (1 Tim. 4:9-10).  Christians must

GREAT GODLY WOMEN   Bill Boyd         There were many great women in the New Testament church. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is mentioned for the last time in  Acts 1:14   and with her were other women who were important in the life of Jesus. In Acts 2 Peter quotes Joel reminding us that “daughters” and “handmaidens” would receive gifts of the Spirit, and we see this in the four daughters of Philip in  Acts 21:9 .  Acts 5:14   says  “believers were the more added to the Lord, both men and women,”  and when Philip went down to Samaria they were baptized  “both men and women” ( Acts 8:12 ).  Acts 8:3   and  Acts 9:2 tells us that women in the church endured persecutions along with the men. Dorcas was distinguished for her good works and almsdeeds, and Peter raised her from the dead ( Acts 9:36-42 ). John Mark’s mother, Mary, hosted a prayer meeting in her home in  Acts 12:12- 17   and at that gathering was a damsel named Rhoda.  Acts 16:1   and  2 Timothy 1:5 honors Lois and Eun
