From the Elders:

The Elders continue to meet on a weekly basis to make decisions

on the advisability of our congregation meeting together for wor-

ship services. At this time they are deciding to err on the side of

safety and not resume gathering at the building for worship. The

Elders will continue to monitor the situation and consider the latest

information being provided by the health authorities as it would ap-

ply to the members of our congregation.

Happy Mother’s Day!

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the

Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have

done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”

Proverbs 31:30-31 (NIV)

The story is told of a German countess who lived a few centuries ago who was an avowed atheist. In an attempt to show her fearlessness of death, and to belittle the faith in God and the hope of eternal life of some of her associates, she left instructions that when she died she was to be placed in a specially prepared tomb, hewn out of solid rock, to be sealed with an enormous flat stone weighing several tons. This stone was to be bolted securely to the face of the tomb, and these words were to be carved on the face of it, What Is Dead Is Dead--Set For-ever--Never To Be Opened.

When the countess died, her wishes were carried out and her body was sealed in the sepulcher. For several decades her tomb remained intact and seemed to be impreg-nable. But as the years passed, an acorn from an overhanging oak fell, and found its way through a crevice of the rock and lodged in the earth beneath. The acorn ger-minated, and the fledgling tree, seeking the sunlight, eventually made its way back up through the crevice. Gradually but relent-lessly the tree grew, and eventually, mighty life from that acorn snapped the bolts and shattered the seal of stone! Thus, God in His infinite wisdom, through the incomprehensi-ble power of life that He had fashioned in that small acorn defied the brazen infidelity of the countess.

How sad that she had turned deaf ears to the words of the Savior when He declared, “...the hour is coming, in which all that are in

the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth …” (John 5:28-29).

It is true we must die a physical death, “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment…” (Heb. 9:27), but it is just as true that there will be a resurrection and judgment, and that the souls of human beings will exist forever in one of two places! (Read Matt. 25:31-34, 41, 46

“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the na-tions will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foun-dation of the world. 41 “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, ac-cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his an-gels; 46 These will go away into eternal pun-ishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”).

No wonder Jesus said, “For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?” (Luke 9:25).
