MEN’S WILD GAME BANQUET REPORT
What a wonderful turnout this past
Thursday night as nearly 1,500 men
gathered for the annual men’s wild
game dinner on the ball field of First
Baptist Church, Varnville.
Thank you Butch for all your hard
work each year in helping to set up,
cook, serve, and tear down. Thank
you to other men of our church that
helped out as well.
Pastor Ponderings. . .
ELECTION DAY!
Tuesday is Election Day, an opportunity for us to cast a ballot in favor
of a number of candidates. Incredibly, the statistics indicate that many
people—yes, even Christians—do
not vote; perhaps because they think
that their ballot does not make any
difference. In point of fact, not only
have elections been determined by
only a few ballots, but more importantly, if all Christians voted they
could determine the outcome of almost any election. And if we don’t
vote, we don’t deserve the freedoms
we all think are our “right.”
Ask God to give you wisdom as to
which candidate is closest to biblical
standards on the issues (none will
meet these standards, but you are
aiming at approximations). And
don’t just pray, but educate yourself.
If you don’t know where the candidates stand on the issues, go to the
One Nation Under God web-site,
www.1UnderGod.com, where you
can find voter’s guides for each district. Read them carefully and make
an informed decision.
Our freedoms are under attack so
we’d better exercise them while we
still can.
