Youth News

The after school kids were very busy last

week. They packed all the bags for the

back pack program. What a sight to see.

They formed two lines and each put

something in the bag and sent it on to the

next person. They had to be careful and

be sure each tote had 10 bags in them or

someone would do without. Good job

guys!!!

Meet Our Youth Tony Western: Is in the 7th grade at

William James. His favorite food is pizza

and color is lime green. He has one dog.

Tony' best friend is Taylor and his

favorite subject is math. He isn't sure

what he wants to be in the future.

GOD’S LOVE

With the changes happening in our country today it is real easy

for us to want to speak out against those changes and we

should. Most of the changes that are happening are directly

opposed to God’s laws for man.

There is a need to turn this country around and move back in

the direction that God wants us to go. We should do what we

can by participating in the government when we are able and

voting. I think there is a better way to turn this country around

in a more permanent way.

This is by spreading the gospel starting right around us and

spreading out as we teach. But everything we do should be

motivated by our love and concern for the welfare of our fellow

man.

1John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God,

because God is love.

Matt 22:36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the

Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your

God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your

mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a

second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the

Prophets."

Look at Christ’s description of the judgement in Matthew

25:31-40. What is His criteria for judging between the sheep

and the goats? It is the concern or love for your fellow man.

Our relationship with God is based upon love.

John 14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth

them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be

loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest

myself unto him.

By Larry Osborne - Continued on Back Page

Could your Savior ever forget you,

write you off, give you up?

No. No. A thousand times no!

He has “engraved you on the palms of

his hands” (Isaiah 49:16) – the nail

scars by which he won you for himself.

Continued From Page 1 God demonstrates His complete love for us.

Romans 5:6-8 For while we were still weak,

at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous

person--though perhaps for a good person

one would dare even to die-- 8 but God

shows his love for us in that while we were

still sinners, Christ died for us.

Christ died for all of us. Everyone in this

world. We need to do what we can to make

sure everyone gets the opportunity to

respond to this. Larry Osborne
