VOLUME 52 NUMBER 35 August 28, 2016

Today we will eat lunch together (parents and youth), have a devo and go bowling following. We had to postpone this from last week. We encourage all youth and parents to join us for these ac-tivities today. We tried to reach all of you by phone and if we missed you, we did make the effort. Please help us to continue to build the youth group and make it vibrant. We want to encourage all of you to participate if you are not do-ing so at present. We encourage you to begin attending Bible Class now that school has started. It is easy for us to get out of the routine. Remember to put God first. We hope you had a great week as you started back to school. Please make the effort to come on Wednesday nights

and Sunday as we study together. BEN

Promotion in Bible class took place today. We appreciate all of those

who come to Bible class and participate. This would be a great time to

make it a point to be in every Bible class and worship service of the

church. You will be made stronger as a result of your participation.

Our teachers spend a lot of time in preparing for the classes each week.

Children’s Bible Hour will also begin soon. On September 11th, Chil-

dren’s Bible Hour and Toddler’s Bible Hour will resume. We have a lot

planned for the Autumn months. We hope that parents will take advan-

tage of the opportunity to have your children in classes where they are

taught more about God and His Word. School started this last week

and everyone got back in the routine. Please make the effort to get in

the routine of coming to Bible class and worship. We continue to have

numerous visitors at our services. Several Bible studies continue to be

conducted with those not members of the church family here. God con-

tinues to bless the Crockett Rd. congregation. The love and concern of

others in the church here is most unique. May that love continue to

abound. Today following the worship service, the youth and parents

will meet for lunch, a devo and bowling adventure. Thanks to Ben and

Keri for making plans. The Bible Hour workers will also meet in an-

other location in the building for lunch and planning session for the les-

sons this Fall. We are grateful to Audrey, and Amanda for helping to

organize the program this year. Thanks for being here this morning.

We hope to see you tonight at 6 P.M. DAN

“JUST KEEP QUIET OR SILENT”

The word silence or its equivalent is found

often in your Bible. We often sing a song that

has this word within it which is taken from Ha-

bakkuk 2:20. It is here that men are told to

"keep silence before him." There is much more

than just being quiet in the assembly where God

is worshiped. Take a look at some cases of si-

lence that may be either good or bad. There is a

silence that is suitable. There are no doubt

times when it is best to say nothing. Was this

the case with the friends of Job? You know

they came and sat with Job for seven days and

"none spake a word unto him: for they saw that

his grief was very great" (Job 2;13). It seems

the only fitting thing is to just say nothing.

They could, however, just be there to let him

know of their concern and sympathy for him.

Isn't this the case when death occurs and we

just go to be with those who have suffered the

loss? Though we may not say a thing, just being

there is enough. There is a silence which is self-

ish. Have there not been times when a word of

thanks ought to have been uttered? Have there

not been times when words of encouragement

needed to be stated? Yet, there was not heard a

single word. Wasn't this the case with those

nine lepers that should have turned back to give

thanks for their healing (Luke 17:17-18)?

There is a silence that is sinful. Yes, there is a

time to be silent; but there is also a time when

such would be sinful. Wouldn't that be the case

if you saw a person about to be killed but would

not warn them? Wasn't there a time when the

apostles were told not to speak or teach in the

name of Jesus (Acts 4:18-19)? Would it not

have been a sin for them to just say nothing?

After all, they were compelled by the Lord's

commandment to preach the gospel. To be si-

lent in the face of threats would indeed be sin-

ful DAN
