Mehan Union Message
By t=rry rnger
Praise the Lord! What a wonder-
fni day. Guess what? We are going
to have another baby! Many of you
followed us through four pregnan-
cies and births and have, expressed
interest as you shared in our joy.
Thought you might like to know the
newest should be here in August.
Pray for us, especially Lee Ann.
Another day of blessings as we
gathered to worship the Lord. We
ceiebrated being born again by
taking communion.
It is a wonderful thing that Jesus
did for us, and it's a wonderful
reward we have because of what He
did.
We are facing a time of change
with a new president. He is coming
into a situation that is goin 8 to take
a lot of hard work to overcome.
Youth crime, abortion, deficits,
Iraq, Somalia, AIDS education are
just a few of topics Bill Clinton ts
going to have to deal with. Please
pray for our €.otmt!
Jesus needs to become a realily to
everyone. He is the answer.
This Devotional & Directory is made possil:
by these businesses who encourage all of tim
to attend worship services.
B/ble Evanle/istic Temple
By Elaine Bartlett
A man may go to heaven without
health, without wealth, without
fame, without a great name, without
learning, without culture, without
friends, without ten thousand other
things, but he can never go to
heaven without Christi
The cmtless multitude on high,
that tune their songs to Jesus' name,
all merit of their own deny, and
Jesus' worth alone proclaim. Firm
on the ground of sovereign grace,
they stand before Jehovah's throne;
the only song in that blest place, is
=Thou art worthy! Thou aloael"
John 3:3, "Jesus answered and
said unto him, verily, verily, I say
unto thee, except a man be hem
again, he cannot see the kingdom
of GOd."
We have a revival starting Sunday
with John Duren. He will be here
through Friday night. Sunday nights
start at 7, other nights are 7:30.
Everyone is welcouml

"He w To"
By Rev. Max Rudd
Lost Creek & Eden Chapel
A trip to any bookstore makes
us realize that we live in a =how-
to" world. Many of the bestsellers
of today are in the domain of
the =how-to." How to improve our
self concept, how to improve our
financial picture, how to improve
our career opportunities, to name a
few. Well, I have a =how-to" of my
own that I have shared frequently in
my church, and I would like to share
it with you, too. And you don't even
have to buy a book!
In Ephesians 1:3, Paul writes,
=Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ who
has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places."
That's my =how-m" advice! It's that
simple. First, commit this simple
sentence to memory. Then, when
you face a difficult time or a bleak
day, or just a bad mood, begin to
recite this little sentence to yourself.
If I am alone, I will even say it out
loud.
At first, you may not really be in
the mood, or sense nch change,
but I can tell you, if you will just
keep it up a few times, you will
be amazed at what a "pick-me-up"
this thought can be. For me, this
little sentence brings to mind God's
blessings already given to me, and
reminds me of God's care, it's hard
not to feel blessed and full of praise.
This realization may seem sim-
plistic, but it is povrful enough to
enlighten even the darkest situation.
Before I recite it very many times, I
will always be surprised by a smile
creeping onto my face and a dra-
matic improvement in my outlook
on life. So, that's my free advice
for the week. Just try it, you might
be surprised.

Area Church News
By La L,
We opened with singing "O
Worship the Lord." The scripture
reading was Romans 8:38-39 by
Dou8 Johnson. Prayer requests
and unspoken prayer requests were
acknowledged by raising of hands.
It was our pleasure to have as
our guest speaker college professor
Dr. Jack Bynum. He began with
a cheerful good morning and we
replied with our cheerful good
morningl
Dr. Bynum had received a long
distance call from his grandchil-
dren sayin 8 "It came backl It came
bacH" Just for a moment he won-
dered what they were talking about,
then it occurred to him. While
spending vacation time with them,
one of the best Christmas gifts he
and their dad had given them was
balloons filled with helium. Each
balloon had a returnable attached
with ribbon. The card told the ages
of the children, 11 and 12, and a
message that read =God bless you,
have a Happy New Year."
To their surprise one had traveled
a few hundred miles and the
children were so overjoyed they
couldn't wait to call grandpa to tell
him tbe postcard was returned. "A
message of God's love, return to
sender." There is a bible scripture
in Ecclesiastes II:I, =Cast thy
bread upon the waters, for thou
shalt find it after many days."
Dr. Bynum has written several
books, his name signed to each one
of them. He said he would rather
have his name written in the book
of life than all of those hooks be has
authored. I too would like my name
written in the book of lifel Wouldn't
you? God's peace.
Carney Assemtay of God
By Pat Skaggs
We had a very good Sunday
School lesson on "Making Crucial
Choices." The Golden Text was,
=A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches, and loving
favor rather than silver and gold."
Proverbs 22:1.
The central truth was we should
not allow anything to interfere with
serving the Lord and the three
main topics that were discussed
were Seeking Eternal Life, a Tragic
Choice and Blessings of Salvation.
Christians are not immane to the
influence that possessions can have
on people. We read in I Timothy
6:10 that "the love of money is
the root of all evil." It is not
so important that we have a lot
of money and nmterial possessions
as it is that we should possess
godliness.
In Hebrews 13:5 it says that
God will never leave us nor forsake
us. God will take care of us, if
we will only let Him. Let us
not let earthly possessions interfere
with our serving the God of our
salvation.
In church services we had a
vtattng , gmneth Chmer,
and hls wife from Bamsdall. Pastor
Charter used as his text, Mark 6:45-
51 sad titled his message =The
Fourth Watch of the Night." He
brought out that Satan is always
tryin8 to attack God's people and
our dmml. We are to always be
!
on watch for Satan's fury and call
upon Christ for help and protection.
God feels our pain and knows
our troubles. He can keep us from
Satan's harm. He is the only one
who can really help us. Through
His power and glory, we can
overcome the spirit of the devil.
God says He will be with us always.
Let Him be your guide and strength
to fight the powers of Satan.
We must respond to Christ's will
and obey his bidding, then He will
help us in our times of trouble.
Ftrst Baptist Church
By Sundy Edwards
Sanctity of Human Life Sunday
is observed every year by Southern
Baptist churches; this year the day
was Sunday, Jan. 17. The message
brought by Brother Larry Wilson
was "The Abortion Question" and
he read Psalm 139: 13-16. Dunng
the message it was pointed out that
the Bible speaks about modem day
issues; an example is the abortion.
What does the Bible say? We
should submit our opinions to the
Bible. Is that within the womb a
human bein 8 or just tissue. Brother
Wilson mentioned that when Virgin
Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth
and told her the news about Jesus
being horn, Elizabeth's leapt for joy
within the womb. In Psalms, it is
written that God knows us even in
the womb.
In both services, Dianna Sweger
san S "That's Him" and the adult
choir sang "A New Name in Glory"
at the 10:50 service.
A video was show at the 6 p.m.
service titled =Help, I'm Pregnant."
Sponsored by the Sonthem Baptist
Convention, the video informed us
of Crisis Pregnancy Centers over the
United States, about 2,200. There
are two such centers in Oklahoma,
one in Tulsa and one in Oklahoma
City. Should the need arise for help
counseling or how to help, a toll
free number was given, 1-800- 962-
0851.
Brother Wilson spoke on "Abor-
tion...After the Fact" and used as
his text Romans 3:23 and 1 John
1:9. Two questions were addressed:
What do you do with one who's
had an abortion? and How does
one 8o on after having an abortion?
The importance of relying utxm the
Bible and using it for a guide was
emphasized.
Sunday, Jan. 24 is Baptist Men's
Day in our church; Mr. Zion Baptist
Church of Stillwater will be at our
church on Jan. 31 at 6 p.m. Brother
m
Oscar Adams will be preaching and
the Mt. Zion Choir will be bringing
special music.
If you need a place of worship,
you are certainly invited to First
