CliffNotes…..This Sunday morning we will have our quarterly observance of the Lord’s Supper. That great ordinance of the church gives us a special opportunity to re?lect on our own personal spiritual lives, so that we might seek the spiritual renewal we need. As I am writing this, I have just come from a small group discussion where current events were considered. The usual discouraging trends in our culture were talked about, and at the end of our time there we returned to the timeless answers that come from God’s Word. For any culture, in any time, in any remote corner of the world, the real solutions to the moral and spiritual issues of the human race lie in the profound truths of the Bible. The really good news is that in Christ we have exactly what the world desperately needs. May we indeed be spiritually wise and securely anchored to Biblical truth in our own generation! AM—WeMustPayCloserAttention—Hebrews 2:1-4 PM—ACalltoCourage—Joshua 1:1-18 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MusicNotes….. CAMP HEART AND SOUL starts this Monday, July 13. Please be in prayer for

People are telling me frequently they are talking to others about the dinner trip to Cedar Lane, but no one is putting their name on the list. At the time of this article, only three people have committed to going. The latter part of next week I will have to make reservations or cancel the trip. Which will it be?

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
