Missionaries share stories at St. Paul’s
Jolisa Canty Staff writer ST. PAULS — The death of their son didn’t stop Drs. Leslie and Cindy Morgan from pursuing their lifelong mission of helping others — in fact, it only energized them to do more. The two doctors, missionaries in Bangladesh for 24 years, lost their middle child, Everett, to bone cancer in 2008. After taking about nine months off, the Morgans decided to go back to Bangladesh to continue their service. “We returne...

Following God’s Way In Life
There are certain qualities that make some people rise above the crowd. Boaz was one of those people who, when faced with a situation, responded in a way that makes him stand out even today as a great example. First, let’s consider that there are legal ways to address a situation. He assembled ten of the city’s elders to sit as judges in a legal matter concerning Naomi. Land owned by Naomi and her late husband, Elimelech, had been sold du...

God teaches us to help the poor
When Naomi and Ruth settled in Naomi’s homeland, Scripture shows us Ruth was sincere in her loyalty to her mother-in-law. The chapter begins with an introduction of Boaz as a wealthy man who was kin to Naomi’s late husband. Immediately following this, Ruth asked for permission to go to the field and “glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace.” Gleaning was a common practice by the poor. Gleaning was the gathering of g...

God, not Gideon, won the battle
July 24, 2011 Sunday School Lesson Judges 6-8; 21:25/Judges 7:2-4, 13-15; 8:22-26 Gideon’s story begins like others in the Book of Judges. Israel, having strayed from the Lord and living under the control of the Midianites, cried out to Him for His help, and the Lord raised up a man to lead them out of their oppression. The first thing we see in the story of Gideon is that God chose him. There were many other men, but in the wisdom know...

God takes notice of one man’s disobedience
July 3, 2011 Sunday School Lesson Joshua 7:1, 10-12, 22-26 Just as soon as the account of triumph over Jericho ends, God’s Word tells us about defeat for Joshua and Israel. Joshua 7:1 begins with: “But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing.” The Lord made it clear to His people that they were not to take any of the spoils from Jericho. Scripture refers to the forbidden spoils as “the accursed thing.” The ac...

The eternity that awaits believers
May 29, 2011 Sunday School Lesson Revelation 22:1-9, 13-17 Perhaps you have wondered what you will experience in eternity. God will, most certainly, provide in the most wonderful ways for us.

A new heaven and a new earth
May 22, 2011 Sunday School Lesson Revelation 21:1-8, 22-27 Christians know this world grows less attractive by the day. The world’s beauty gradually fades physically and spiritually the longer we walk with the Savior.

The redeemed praise God
As another scene of praise and worship opened up to the Apostle John, he tells us he saw a great multitude of people at the throne of God. John said there were so many people that it was simply not possible for anyone to count them. This multitude was made up of people from all over the world. Every tribe, nation, people and tongue was represented in that group. Notice that these people had a place of high privilege as they were at God’...
