Standing Out
Adam Faughn
One of the hardest temptations to fight as a Christian is the desire to look like the world. Our society packages immoral dress, unkind talk, and crude thoughts so that it looks normal and even “cool” to live that lifestyle. Christians, though, are to be different. We are to stand out from the world. As the temperature begins to climb toward summertime, it is impossible to miss the immoral dress that is all over the place. It’s difficult even to make a quick trip to the grocery store without seeing members of both genders and of all ages dressed inappropriately. I know it is difficult to find clothing that is appropriate,
but, as God’s children, let’s make sure we stand out from the world in this area.
That may sound quite old -fashioned, because it is. It’s as old as the New Testament!
Even as you look for clothing for the summer (including vacations), make sure you purchase modest and appropriate clothing. To do otherwise could cause others to stumble, which is sinful. We never want to do that.
∞
Parents, please look for modest clothing for your young people. Forget what’s on TV or what your children’s friends are wearing. These are your children, and are your responsibility. Let’s make sure we stand out from the crowd.
It was uplifting to welcome Daniel and Kristy Skelton to the Lebanon Road family last week. This young couple brings so much talent to our congregation, and we are excited to see all the good they will do. My family and I will be away next Sunday (April 26), as I will be beginning a Gospel Meeting in Mount Vernon, Illinois. Please pray for this effort and for our safety as we travel to and from the meeting.

TRAVEL PLANS AND OTHER MATTERS
Hello to you this week!
Many are beginning to make travel plans now that warm weather has settled in. As you get itchy feet, you might want to include one of the mission points in your plans. Going into South Carolina you may want to think about going to Beech Island or Lexington where we support Glenn Nichols and Ernie Richards, respectfully. Going in the direction of North Carolina you may want to plan to stop at Forest City where we are supporting Milton Hopkins. If you are going through Virginia, then plan to go by Rocky Mount, there we are supporting Glen Willcut. They have all the paperwork completed and should be ready to begin construction on their building. If you plan to be in Pennsylvania you surely would want to visit Ephrata and worship with Pete Nuthak. Should you be going into Georgia plan to visit John Gross at Winder. We have folks often visiting Pearlington, Mississippi, and if you are going in that area you will want to visit with Gary Marshall. Don’t forget to be here around 8:30 Saturday morning April 25th to be a part of our first door knocking effort.
We had a good meeting this past Sunday evening to plan the next few months of youth activities. I am especially thankful for those who have been signing up to host devos. We almost have the whole year taken care of! Thank you! It is our privilege to conduct the Heartland Service this Sunday at 4 PM. All students please plan on coming to this service. We had a great number last time we hosted! We will have a short singing devotional after our fellowship meal this Sunday evening. I hope all the youth will be able to attend our devo. Students, mark your calendars for April 25. We will be at the building at 8:30 AM to help with the door knocking, but that’s not all! After lunch, we will be going over to the Bell’s yard to rake up some leaves! I am excited about camp coming together. Our next meeting will be Sunday, April 26, at 4:30 PM. We need full participation to make camp great! Lastly, be ready for the Sycamore service on May 3 at 2 PM. Thank you very much! --JD :)
Visitation Team #1 will meet tonight.
