1 - LIVE and WORK to reach others each day as if you
knew the world were going to come to an end next Sun-
day night. Think of that feeling of urgency and priority!
(Read 2 Peter 3:1-12).
2 - BE AS ENTHUSIASTIC about the church and its ser-
vices as you would be if there were an overflowing crowd
each time. Think of the interest, anticipation, and excite-
ment of an overflow crowd!
3 - COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. Make a list of the
things you are thankful to God for and thank Him for
them one by one as you pray in your
closet. This will help you to be grateful
(Philippians 4:6). It will also help you
to realize your dependence on God
(Acts 17:24-25,28; John 15:5).
4 - MAKE & MAINTAIN A LIST OF YOUR FAULTS.
And pray for forgiveness and help to overcome them as
you truly strive to overcome them. This will help us see
that we are really not as good as we think we are and how very much we really do
need Christ for Savior. It will also help you to sympathize with the faults of oth-
ers (James 5:16; Galatians 6:1).

5 - KEEP A QUIET TIME. Set aside 30 minutes every day to spend with God
in prayer, Bible study, and meditation. If you really love someone or a game
you want to spend some time with them. Just so, if you
truly love God you want to spend some time alone with
Him. (Psalms 1:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Luke 18:1).
First century Christians kept an “hour of prayer” (Acts
13:1).
6 - VISIT SOMEONE FOR CHRIST EACH WEEK. Visit some member you
do not know very well; or a sick person; or a visitor to our services; or a weak
member who needs encouragement; or someone who needs to become a
Christian.
7 - REACH ANOTHER PERSON (RAP). Conduct a Bible class in your home
once a month and invite your relatives, friends and neighbors to attend. The
preacher or elders will assist you if you want them to.
Matt. 5:12-15; James 5:20; Daniel 12:3. There are 168
hours in a week. If you were to attend Bible Study,
morning worship, and evening worship on Sundays
and Bible study on Wednesday, and 30 minutes 6
days a week in Bible reading, prayer, and meditation,
and conduct an hour long study once a month, you would be giving God less
than 10 hours a week, leaving you 158.
(Continued from page 1)
6)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and sup-
plication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made know
to God
7)And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

I ran across some information in the
office files from 1976 that I thought
worthy of taking another look at.
And with the permission of his family
here is:
A Thought For The Day
by Bill Norton
In our society we note that
people are proud that they
have been able to retire from
a business after working for
twenty, thirty, or forty years.
And they have every right to
know they have done a job
well. These people that
retired, did they ever get tired
in their work? Of course they
did! But those who “Stick
it out” or “work it out”
realized their goal.
God will take care of us when
we do His will. Let us not grow
weary, and the reward is ours.
(Rev. 14:13)
