HOMER CLEANERS
WrOH&R bound In 1956?
By Dale Davis
If we could see beyond ,.to«*r
dayj This is Hie ^usyAsfea^n!
for Star-gazers jaiid Fortune-,,
tellers* Men *s Quest of the
future stems from a lack of
confidence or trust in Christ
Fear; is another inbred emo
tion motivating a desire to
see beyond the next bend in
the road, what will tomorrow
hold for me? is a question
that causes many to probe in- •
to the uhknown of the coming
year.
In the passing of time the
hours, days, weeks and months
will roll by and once again
we will be looking back over
the past year ana weighing
time alread exhausted in the
pursuit of ,life, to see, wnat
we have accomplished result
ing in any good. The best
guarantee that we may have of
making 1956 a successful year
in our home life, business
life and spiritual life is*to
resolve, to Spend more time
with Cod in worship.
It is a sad commentary on
the Alaskan way of’ life that
too few of us nave time for
Christ and nis Church. The
response of "Pra too busy,11
is the mason most often giv
en as an excuse for not! at
tending worship services.
Man prope11s himself along
energized, by the egotism' of
his own self importance yak
ing every moment count*" for
himselfx and giving * no
thought to his need of com
munion vdth God# To them
time for worship is wasted
time, while each passing min
ute is spent in the pursuit
of material gain or earthly
pleasures *
The future is a secret
known only to God, Star-gaz
ers and Fortune-tellers can
only guess about tomorrow.
The future holds *no- fear to
those who have committed all
tneir tomorrows into the
hands of the One who holds
all the 'tomorrows- in His
handfe,r The perplexities and
anxieties of life will van
ish when your life is sur
rendered to Christ,
The Church is God*s means
of communication with man
kind, vherein, in the procla
mation of His word precious
lost soul6 are saved, and
saints, are built up in the
most holy faith. Give God
much of your*, time. It will,
not be wasted, but the gLpst
profitable hours of the com
ing year will be those enjoy
ed in fellowship with God and
those who love him also*
