FROM THE PREACHER:
Have you ever thought about
why you are what you are reli- '
giously? Or, if you do not belong
to a particular religious group, i Til
have you thought about why you
are not? Many parents are mem-
bers of a particular religious t
group because that was the group V jgL
that their parents were members
of. Others would say that they are ___
members of a particular church
because they “married into" that * * 9
church. Still others would say that mBX M
they are members of a church KEEN CHUMBLEY
because it is a popular church or a
friendly church or because it is the biggest church in town and meets
in the finest building. Why are you a member of that religious group
that you claim as yours?
The Apostle Peter wrote, “But sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that
asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and
fear" (1 Peter 3:15). Because of this, I would like, over the next few
weeks to share with you some reasons why I am what I am, religious-,
ly. I did not start out as a member of the church of Christ but became
a member as a result of a study of the Scriptures. I would ask that
you examine the reasons that I give, in the light of the Scriptures and
at the same time examine why you are a member of the religious
group to which you belong and look at those reasons too in the light
of the teaching of the Bible.
I believe that the reasons that we have for being members of the
religious group of which we are members should be more than those
that were stated earlier and that reveal no conviction and, in fact, are
rather weak when it comes to considering matters that have to do
with where one will spend eternity. Thus, I would urge that you
“search the Scriptures" (Acts 17:11) to see whether the reasons you
have for being what you are religiously are founded upon the
teachings of God’s Word.
Come by the
Church of Christ

Life Has Its Kicks,
Which Sometimes Hurt
Local
A surprise party was given to
Robert Roth, owner of Curlee’s,
when he celebrated his 39th bir-
thday (again) March 27.
About 20 gathered for
festivities, which included car-
rot cake, punch, mints and
nuts.
The affair was also a family
reunion as two daughters, Mrs.
Susan Schuth of Bedford, In-
diana, and Mrs. Nancy Holm
and her son Matthew of Algona,
Iowa, were on hand. It was the
first time the family had been
together in four years.
The United Methodist
Women met in the home of Mrs.
Vivian Smith April 5 for the
monthly business meeting with
12 members present.
President Mrs. Ernestine
Lynn presided. Mrs. Smith
opened the meeting with a
prayer.
The minutes were read and
approved and treasurer’s
report accepted. All bills
presented were to be paid.
Committee reports were given.
Eighteen tote bags are to be
made by the members. Mrs.
Jean Courtney asked to ex-
change places with Mrs. Ida
Winsauer for the June meeting.
It was reported that Mrs. Van
Wagner is still in the Victoria
Hospital, Mrs. Genoa Harper in
Spohn Hospital and Mrs. Ollie
Odem in Citizen Hospital in
Beeville.
An interesting devotional
was given by Mrs. Jean Court-
ney. She spoke of Martin
Luther King’s convictions and
struggles in his involvement for
his people. She also spoke on
“Matter of Expression” writ-
ten by Clarence Jospeh Rivers.
Life does have its kicks but
some of its kicks can land
where it hurts. Life hurts when
one cannot see nor forsee any
fruit to our efforts.
When there is no proof that
life has meaning, we can
always hope that it does. If we,
cannot hope we live in despair.
The primary source of faith
and hope are the lives of people
around us.
When we feel that others care
for us we dare to have hope for
the future. When we feel we
have the love of others then we
can believe that God is Love.
The next meeting will be 10
a.m. April 19 in the church
basement with Mary Elizabeth
Raper bringing a Bible study
entitled “Outside the Gate,” a
study of a letter to the
Hebrews.
The meeting closed with the
benediction.
