Guest ReceptionThere is a guest reception in the Commons
immediately following theSaturday night and the 11:00 a.m. Sunday
morning service. Come and meet
Dr. Wicker.
These Boots The pop song
declares, These
boots are made
for walkin As
any cowboy willtell you, they
are made for
ridin and ropin!
When John
Justin, Jr. took
the reins of his
familys 71-year-
old Texas-based boot business in 1950,the demand for cowboy
boots was at an
all-time low. Even rodeo calf ropers were
opting for tennis shoes in the arena, which
allowed for quicker maneuvering than the
high-heeled, pointy-toed gear. However,
Justin released the Roper boot four years
later with a at-heeled, round-toed boot,
which marked the end of the embarrassing
dirty sneaker phase. Pastoring in Oklahoma
and Texas, I also had two pairs of dress
and working Justin boots. More eternally
signicant, a church must be willing to
change and reevaluate strategy and tools.
Also, we should not slip in our service.Though the Bible does
not speak of boots, it
does say that in our Christian armor we are
to shod our feet with the preparation of the
gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15). God calls
us to stand on His gospel or good news.
During the violence in Northern Ireland,
after a bombing, a local pastor told his
church: We have good news; the rainbow
is most vivid against a glowering sky. As
one 16th century Puritan preacher wrote,
It is such a message as no good news can
come before it nor no ill news follow.
We can share the Shalom of God throughthe simple plan of
salvation by witnessing.
That sure-footedness, as pictured in the
Roman soldiers sandals with cleats on
the soles, can only come when you know
what and how you are going to speak.
Approaching a new semester of FAITH
Evangelism, we will help you to put on
those boots of belief and get a grip on thetruth which helps you
to not slide. When
you seek to ght that battle and rope that
calf (or sinner), you learn to actively be
prepared when God opens doors. We need
new soldiers to enlist and veterans to reup
for a new semester of sharing the gospel.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, you soldiers
of the cross...Put on the gospel armor, each
piece put on with prayer; where duty calls
or danger, be never wanting there. These
boots are made for marchin.

Protocol for Contacting Missionaries
DO Pray for the work of your missionaries. Pray for the
missionaries people group, city, or seminary with
which they are engaged. Remember the birthday and anniversary of
your missionaries. Save your change in your Change the World coin
bank. Let the missionaries know your needs and that of your
family
if they ask, but keep them foremost in your concern. Be
sensitive to their busy lifestyle and aware of possible
delays in communication and response.
DONT... Be discouraged by a slow response from your
missionaries. Violate privacy and security issues. Be shocked by
their situation or their humanity. Many are
wounded warriors who keep fighting. Contact them more than they
want you to, remembering that
some are either more private in their personalities, or
restrained because of security issues. Deemphasize those who
serve in North America. Let your lack of funds at times prevent
your connection and
prayer.

2010Heard enough talk about what is WRONG with America?
Does the Bible give us insights to determine a BETTER
course for this nation?
On Tuesday Night, January 19, The Florida Policy
Roundtable is hosting a special Policy Brieng, here
in Naples at the Tiburon Golf Club. This brieng will
be moderated by David Zanotti, President/CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable.
Well talk about the national health care takeover, the
Congress and how you can make a positive differencein 2010.
Bring a friend. You wont be disappointed.

Tiburon Golf Club,
Sydneys Room

Policy Briengs are a public service of The American Policy
Roundtable, an independent,
non-partisan, non-prot organization founded in 1980. The
Roundtable promotes The
Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the
principles upon which they stand.
What most Christians sadly misunderstand is that God isnt into
religious activities or
performance-based Christianity. Instead, Chips message will
reveal to us a relational
prole of what it means to be a disciple, as well as a proven
pathway to becoming more
like Jesus each day.
If youve become stagnant in your spiritual growth, START
HERE.
If youve become disengaged with your church experience, START
HERE.
If you are a new believer and unsure of how to grow spiritually,
START HERE.
If you are a mature Christian and are looking for a pathway to
disciple others, START HERE.
Are you ready for the journey of your lifetime? START HERE.
