http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tidings-for-august-2011 1/4

A Note to you,Another associational year has completed. New committees and officers for the association will be in place afterthe semi-annual meeting on October 10. Let’s remember them in prayer as they start new duties. Thanks to those

who served last year. Thanks, also, to the pastors and church families in our association for hosting and attendingthe semi-annual meetings and executive board meetings. Please pray for our association and for me as we go intothe new association year.

The association semi-annual meeting will be held on October 10, 2011 at First Baptist Church, Irvine. Rev.Jesse Kline of Northside Baptist Church will preach the message. Start time will be 5 PM with the meal at 6PMand the night session at 7 PM. Now is the time to elect messengers if your church hasn’t done so.

October is Cooperative Program Emphasis MonthThe Cooperative Program is the plan Southern Baptists use to fund mission causes at the state, national, andinternational levels. CP provides the foundational support for international and North American missionaries;Kentucky Baptist Convention work; training and other helps for local churches; and Baptist organizations.How Does It Work : As people give their tithes and offerings in their churches, a portion is sent to the KentuckyBaptist Convention. This amount is decided by the church. Part of this money (43.5%) is then sent to theSouthern Baptist Convention to help fund missions and ministries in North America and around the world.Another part (32.9%) is used for state missions and to help churches through the Kentucky Baptist MissionBoard. A third part (23.6%) helps other Baptist organizations in Kentucky such as our colleges and children’s

homes.

Food For Thought:

Dr. A. W. Tozer said, ”I am not surprised that I still meet people who do not believe that Jesus Christ is going to

return to earth. In fact, some of them, armed with their own Bibles and interpretations, are insistent on setting me"straight." One gentleman has written saying that I have it all wrong, and that Paul did not mean what I had saidhe meant, as I applied Paul's statement to everyday life. I took time to write a reply: "When it comes to sayingwhat he meant, Paul's batting average has been pretty good up to now. So, I will string along with what Paul plainly, clearly said." I did not figure I needed someone to straighten me out-particularly someone who haddecided the Bible does not mean what it says. No one is going to argue me out of my faith in what God hasrevealed and what God has said. As far as I am concerned, it is a fact that Jesus is coming again! The question Ido raise is this: Are we prepared spiritually for His coming? Are we tolerating conditions in our midst that will

cause us embarrassment when He does come?”

Yours in Christ,
