Volume XXXVII Number 42 November 5, 2013

From the Minister. . . . .

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Rev. Bob Allen’s sudden

passing. He and his wife Karen served

our congregation on two separate occa-

sions over the years. I had the pleasure

of meeting Bob at the end of his second

term as interim minister here at KHCC.

Shortly after my family and I moved to

Shreveport he came by my house to

welcome me and pass on the church cell

phone. He also took the time during our

visit to sing the praises of Kings

Highway Christian Church and tell me

how much he and Karen had enjoyed

both of the interims they served here. By

the end of our visit I was feeling particu-

larly encouraged and was even more

excited about my first day as your

minister.

In the last eight years Bob and

Karen have visited our church several

times. Our church was blessed to have

him fill the pulpit on more than one

occasion while I was out of town, and he

was one of the ministers who presided at

the funeral of Rev. Dave Farmer six

years ago. With all of this, I still didn’t

have the chance to get to know Bob as

well as I would have liked and I envy

those of you who were here during his

time of service and had the chance to

experience his ministry.

Please keep his wife Karen and his daughter Kirsten in your prayers in the

days and weeks ahead. Services for Bob

will be this Wednesday, Nov. 6th in

Arizona. Karen and Kirsten have re-

quested that instead of flowers, donations

be made to the Susan G. Komen Founda-

tion (you may contact the church office

for details).

Many times during Bob’s years in

ministry he read the following verses in his

booming voice; I can almost hear him.

“I have fought the good fight, I have

finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Henceforth there is laid up for me the

crown of righteousness, which the Lord

will award to me on that day, and not only

to me, but also to all who have loved the

Lord.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

In faith,

David

KHCC STEWARDSHIP

ISN’T IT STRANGE?

Isn’t it strange how a $100 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn’t it strange how endless an hour seems when we are serving God, but how short it is when we watch a Football game for 60 minutes?

Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at the church and how short they seem when you’re watching a good movie?

Isn’t it strange that you can’t find things to say when you’re praying, but you have no trouble on thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring it can be to read one chapter of the Bible but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?

Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn’t it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible?

Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

IT’S STRANGE ISN’T IT? Are you laughing?

Are you thinking about it? Spread the word, and thank God, because he loves you.

“SAVE THE DATE”

“On the street I saw a girl cold

and shivering in a thin dress,

with little hope of a decent meal.

I became angry and said to

God: ‘Why did you permit this?

Why don’t you do something

about it?’ For a while God said

nothing. That night He replied

quite suddenly: “I certainly

did something about it.

I made you.’”
