2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be unequally yoked

with unbelievers. For what partnership has

righteousness with lawlessness? Or what

fellowship has light with darkness?

“You’re the average of the five people you associate with the most.” Author,

Entrepreneur and Public Speaker Tim Ferris says this is the best advice he

ever got and it came from his high school wrestling coach. He uses this

guideline when he is investing in a business, starting a company or inviting

people to dinner. You can say it different ways: “You become who you hang

out with”, “If you hang out with people long enough you will start doing what

they are doing,” etc. The Apostle Paul said, “Do not be deceived: "Evil company

corrupts good habits"” in I Corinthians 15:33. Later he warned the Christians

in Corinth, “do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers” in 2 Corinthians 6:14.

It was clear then, as it is now, it is really important who you choose to spend

your time with.

So, who do you spend most of your time with? If you want to learn a trade or a

skill, you spend time with people who are already good at it. If you are a

student, you can spend time with people who are better students. If you want

to get to heaven, you should spend time with people who can help you get

there. Make time to be with your brothers and sisters in

Christ. Be an encouragement to them and let them

encourage you. Do not be deceived: set your sights on

heaven and make time to be with people who want to

help you get there.

The Weekly Bulletin of the Summit Church of Christ

October 14, 2018

There are many Christians who, having been steadfast

under trial & stood the test, are in line to receive the crown

of life (Js.1:12). However, some, because of their own

CURIOSITY (Js.1:14), have COMPROMISED their salvation &

CONFORMED to the world (Js.1:15). These souls are dead or

dying and in need of resuscitation. They need your help!

They can no longer save themselves.

I remember, as a lifeguard, searching the waters for these

drowning souls. Hardly ever did anyone get into trouble

while obeying the rules or using the water constructively.

No, it was when they were there to have fun – which usually

meant breaking the rules:

• They would get distracted & not notice the water

gradually getting deeper.

• They would run around the very slippery pool

edges.

• They would push each other into the pool.

• They would “show-off” & dive into shallow water.

Similarly, the last thing on many Disciples’ minds is to share

in Christ’s suffering – becoming like him in his death

(Phil.3:10).

So, how do you bring a dying Christian back to life? Well, the

same way a lifesaver would resuscitate a drowning soul.

James 5 gives this crucial information as the 3 C’S OF LIFE:

1. CHECK for a response. Is the Disciple still able to pray

and sing (Js.5:13)?

2. CALL 911. Call the Elders to pray over this soul in the

name of Jesus

(Js.5:14-15).

3. COMPRESS. If

possible, bring the

wandering sinner

back from death

(Js.5:19-20).

Friend focus on your

mission! Whose life

can you save today?

From Neville’s Desk...

by Brad Herald

Galatians 1:10 (NIV) “Am I now trying to win

the approval of men, or of God? Or am I

trying to please men? If I were still trying to

please men, I would not be a servant of

Christ.”

Do you spend your life trying to please everybody?

Paul had to speak harshly to the Christians in Galatia

because they were in danger of deserting their faith

in Christ by following “Jewish Christians” and

turning to another gospel, which really wasn’t a

gospel at all.

Paul teaches us that he could not serve Christ

faithfully if he allowed the Galatian Christians to

believe in the perversion of the gospel of Christ and

that the truth of the gospel never changes.

Whose approval are you seeking – others’ or God’s?

Pray for the courage to seek God’s approval above

anyone else.

LADIES BIBLE STUDY A wonderful opportunity is about to begin for those interested. October 16th is the start of a new ladies’ bible study group.

Meetings will be every two weeks at varying locations. Each lesson will stand on its own so please do not feel as though you can't attend

because you aren't able to commit to every meeting. This will be a chance to take a much needed break from busy weeks and dive

deeper into God's word, plus the bonus of the love and encouragement of ladies who are going through some of the same struggles you might be facing. If there is the tiniest spark of interest,

please put your information on the sign up sheet so we can keep you up to date on the location and lesson. The first meeting will be

at Sheryl Heralds at 7pm. Please see Sheryl Herald or Laura Hutchings, if you have any questions.
