THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

The title of this study has caused some to wonderwhat will be addressed. Here is a sampling of thetopics: The disappearance of sin, the malignancy ofsin, ungodliness, anxiety and frustration,discontentment, unthankfulness, pride, selfishness,lack of self-control, impatience and irritability, anger,

judgmentalism, just to name a few. Did you find yoursin on the list yet? Dont worry, well help you discoverit and encourage you to deal with it.

It is really easy for us as Christians, to focus all of ourtime on the more open sins of our society and point afinger. In this class, you will discover it is time to dealwith your own sins, as subtle as they may be in your

life. Let us not tolerate our sins anymore. Lets allowGods Spirit to prompt us daily to become Holy, as

God is holy.

BITS FROM BRO. DAVE

PERSONAL NOTE: Sue and I, belatedly,want to thank each of you who rememberedour birthdays and anniversary (57 years).

Your cards and good wishes are muchappreciated. As has been our custom, we gotout of town for a few days (visiting theupper reaches of that state to the North ofus.) Thanks, again, for your thoughtfulness.

TRIP CANCELLED: It became necessary

to cancel our scheduled trip to AmishCountry on August 27. We only had 8people signed up and that was insufficient topay for travel. Additionally, because ournumber fell below 20, we lost our groupdiscount at the museum. It is possible thatwe may try again in October or November.

NEW HORIZONS RETREAT: There is stilltime to register for this annual event which isheld at the North Terrace Church of Christ,in Zanesville. This is a single day eventwhich is planned just for seniors. Our hostsprovide a continental breakfast, lunch and an

excellent program. The registration fee is$25. A sign-up sheet and registration formsmay be found on our main bulletin board.C l t f d it l ith

On September 10t , a new LifeGroup will begin entitled:

Respectable Sins. This study

will force us to question why it iswe are comfortable with ourown sins but not the sins ofeveryone else. Dont let the topickeep you away. As a disciple ofChrist, we need to listen to HisSpirit as he challenges us togrow up in our faith.

serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want Hischurch to be the living evidence of His love and power to the world.
