Spring is has arrived. I love the flowers in bloom, the trees budding out, and those warm Arkansas breezes. Of course, the pollen and our allergies stand in the way of the total enjoyment of these wonderful spring days. Many of our Christian brothers and sisters are out of school and on vacation this week for Spring Break. Remember that Christians are never on break from our Christian lives. We can never take a break from our guard against the temptations of our enemy, the devil. We can never break from prayer, worship, from our daily meditations in the Bible, or our service to God and the people around us.

Our monthly “Ladies’ Bible Study” and our monthly “Men’s Fellowship” are both going very well. These meetings are scheduled each month at a different location, in the home of the host. The primary purpose is for the men of the church and the ladies of the church to stay focused on spiritual things while at the same time getting to know one another better as brothers and as sisters. Check our website http://www.enolachurchofchrist.com for dates, times, and details. You’ll find our calendar of events and activities on the cover page.

Have you noticed that we are now presenting the announcements each Sunday on our projection system? Sister Ruple emails the bulletin to me on Friday and I take the information and place it on the PowerPoint program to have it ready on Sunday morning. No problem. I like it very much. I hope you do too. Just another way to show and share the love of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ to the church and to the world!

Our Sunday morning series “God’s Questions – Man’s Answers” came to a close last Sunday with God’s final question for Adam and Eve. Take a look again at the four questions God asked Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. Where are you? Who told you that? Have you sinned? What have you done? Use these questions every day. Know where you are in your relationship with God. If you hear something that sounds different from what the Bible teaches, ask who might be saying these different things. If there is sin in your life, repent of it, confess it to God, and grow from it. Know that sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, cost you more than you want to spend, and when you are ready to let go of sin, sin is never ready to let go of you. Our next series will center on…just wait and see. You’ll be glad you have made meeting with the church for fellowship, study, and worship a priority in your life.

Our Sunday evening series continues – “God is Able.” He is able to help us in the hour of our temptation. He is able to keep what we commit to Him – past, present, and future. He is able to provide for our every need sufficiently and completely. Do you believe these things? I do? Trust Him. Show Him.

The Enola Church of Christ is only a short drive out to the country from where you are. You will be welcomed, encouraged, and challenged to hope in Christ Jesus.
