The Obedient Christian Tells Others (Part 5)

By Pastor Ted White
Do I tell others about the most important decision a person can ever make? Death is real and will come to every person on this planet except for those who will be living at His return. Heaven is real and every person who has truly trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is headed there. Hell is real and every person who has not trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is headed there. These are the facts whether one believes it or not!

In Luke 16:19-21 Jesus tells us of a situation where two men died. One went to heaven, the other to hell. The man who went to hell had been very rich while on earth. He had the best of everything, but apparently didn’t see any need for God. Now that he was in hell he had a desire for just one drop of water to give him some relief from the torment that he was in. None was given him.

The man then asked for someone to go back from the dead to warn his five brothers so they would not come to the same place of torment. He was told that the Word of God and the messengers of God were available and if his brothers would not listen to them, then they would not listen to someone who had come back from the dead.

Many people have said, “Oh, I would believe if someone from the dead came back and told me it was true.” No, they would not believe even if that were to occur. People have the opportunity to hear the Word of God and those servants who bring His Word. Those who hear have the responsibility of choice. That choice will determine their eternal destiny.

Those of us who have believed have the responsibility, given to us by Jesus, to be His witnesses (Acts 1:8). That is, to tell others about Him. This is the responsibility of every single person who has trusted Jesus, not just a select few. May we be faithful in this call! We have to know Him to want to tell others about Him.

Knights Of Columbus Host 37 College Students

Submitted By Ron Covey

On August 27, 2009, thirty seven St. Anselm College student walkers spent the evening and night at the St. Joseph’s Community Center in Northwood, NH. The Knights of Columbus members of Council #11606 served supper and provided breakfast for the walkers the following morning.

The students started in Lewiston, Maine on Saturday, August 22 and finished outside St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, NH, a week later. They walked 130 miles on this Road for Hope. Walkers camp in parks and church basements along the way. They were enthusiastically greeted by the children outside St. Charles Children’s Home in Rochester. Pledges for this year’s 10th annual walk, raised approximately $18,500 to benefit Maine and NH charities, which include in NH, the Rochester Recreation Area and Youth Services of Rochester, Kid’s Café of Manchester and Upreach of Goffstown.

The Knights have been supplying meals to the walkers on this project for several years. Council #11606 is comprised of members from Our  Lady of Lourdes in Pittsfield and St. Joseph of Northwood.
