Karen Smith on the loss of her sister, Sue Hume

Dear Church Family & Staff

Thank you so much for your prayers

during the loss of my sister, Martha Drake.

The Lord really lifted me up during this time

and I know it was due to your prayers!

May God bless each of you for your

faithfulness.

In Christ’s Love, Kenneth And Ann Daniel

“Do You Have God’s Smile”

We often find the word “favor” in Proverbs.

The Hebrew word literally referred to a King

or ruler smiling upon one of their subjects.

I ask myself, “Do I invoke God’s smile upon my

life?”

May I share with you some ways we can

experience God’s favor?

#1) By Knowing God’s Word (Pr. 3:1-4) In (2

Tim. 2:15) we read, “Study to show thyself

approved unto God…”

#2) By being wise (Pr. 8:32-35) If knowledge

is knowing God’s Word, wisdom is knowing

how to apply it.

#3) By being good (Pr. 12:2) This refers to the

daily application of God’s Word to our lives.

So, to gain the favor (smile) of God, we should

know His word, know how to apply it, and

apply it.

May God smile upon you, Bro. Jack

A CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

As I write this, it is 93 degrees and expected to

make it to 99 today. But, change is in the air. By

the end of August, the cooling begins and Fall tem-

peratures will begin. I have always seen August as

a month of transition. It is the beginning of our Sun-

day School year, when children are promoted from

class to class and the beginning of a new school

year. High school graduates begin their college

career and college grads have had their last

“college summer.”

In our study of First Samuel, we have seen God’s

hand in the incredible transition of Israel from a trib-

al confederacy to a monarchy; and from Saul to

David, “a man after God’s own heart.” We have

seen that we can rest assured that the Sovereign

God of the Universe, the One who knows each of us

intimately and loves us infinitely, knows and cares

about whatever transitions are coming. He will be

there when your young child starts school, when your

high school grad goes away to college, when the

new job starts, or the old one ends. And, yes, even

in an election year, we can hold fast to an unchang-

ing God.

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands,

having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are

His.” (2 Tim. 2:19(a))

Bro. Gary

Dear Pastor Moore,

Thank you for the leadership that you are providing

at Fisherville First Baptist Church. Thank you for lead-

ing your church to give through the Cooperative Pro-

gram and Golden Offering. Your support has helped

spread the Gospel in Tennessee and around the

globe. I am praying that God will continue to use

you and your church for Gospel advance.

Many Blessings, Willie McLaurin; Tennessee Baptist
