Weekly Devotional A COMPARISON Rev. Lamar Guyton Pleasant Grove Church Living for Christ is a lot like playing golf. For example, it is something that gets into one’s blood. You know about the foursome who were putting on the 18th green when suddenly a ball hit, the green right at their feet. Looking back up the fairway they saw this guy driving his cart toward them at top speed. As he got off and staggered toward his ball with putter in hand, he asked, “could I play through fellows? I got snakebit on 13, but, I think I can make it if I hurry!” That’s extreme I know, but one must get this Christian living “in his blood” if he intends to make it through.

In this News from ! your Pharmacist ! < by Hoard' fcxwsj '£ •■ Your physician may in form you that he is using terramycin in the treatment of a disease. Just what is terramycin? Simply, ter ramycin is an antibiotic which is used in treatment of a wide variety of infections and diseases. Terramycin is usually very effective in the treatment of certain virus infections, pneumonia, strep throat and many other infections. Ter ramycin is widely used because of the success of the drug and the fact that it very seldom causes any allergic reaction. Terramycin was developed after World War II by a team of American research scien tists following a great deal of research in the antibiotic field. Terramycin is now con sidered as one of our older, tried and proven drugs. But, extensive research is going on daily throughout the world to develop new and better drugs for use in treating the diseases which plague man kind. New drugs are thor oughly tested and approved before they reach the general public. And, it is the duty of your pharmacist to see that these drugs are properly dispensed to you.

Every golf course has hazards of sand, water and “rough.” No one lives here easy without going through or around many hazards. There are dangers of temptation, problems in volved with human relations, and battles with the world and the devil. A golfer usually gets in a trouble area only when he hits his ball wrongly. If he stays in the fairway the game is really rather simple. If someone gets into trouble in his living for Christ, it is usually because of some error on his part. Stay in the way that our Lord has marked off, and the Christian living is not difficult at all. The Bible tells us that, “...the way of the transgressor is hard.” But when a golfer gets into trouble because of error, he has a club that is designed to get him out. There is a sand wedge with which to get out of sand traps, and a variety of irons to give him “loft” out of the thick rough or over a tree. Don’t forget that same Bible that teaches a life of holy living tells us what to do if he fails. “If (not when) any man sins we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). Sin is never a thing. IT IS ALWAYS A CHOICE. By the grace of God, and making the right choice, it can be avoided. There are five fundament al aspects to good golf swiqg. Consider first the essentiality of good eyesight. Within a space of a few seconds the golfer must be able to determine the distance to the place he wants to hit the ball. He must be able to see any hazards up the fairway and near the green. Then he has to be able to see the ball clearly so as to make crisp contact. Eyesight is to the body what faith is to the soul. What is needed is a faith that NEED HELP Hear the Chapter and Verse Program under the direction of GRIFFIN CARRUTH Each Sunday - Beginning May 1,1977 9:30 to 9:45 A.M.

Let’s not determine to trust the Lord for a moment only, but to trust Him for the entire distance to eternity. And, if one lives by faith he will be able to ascertain many dangers that are ahead; the Spirit of God will forewarn him. Of course, there is not contact with God except through faith. So don’t lose faith; it is fundamental to Christian living. Then balance is important to a good golf swing. One’s weight must be centered on the balls of his feet at address to hold his balance. To be effective for Christ one must learn to balance his emotions of joy with his moods of depression, weaknesses with his strengths, and convic tions with his opinions. Seek to be a balanced person in every way within the frame w'ork of the Scriptures. Don't forget timing. A golfer gets in trouble when he rushes his shots. He has to keep it smooth and easy. I don’t believe that God intends that a Christian should live so fast and under such pressures that he cannot take time to relax and to reflect on God and His love. Those times of devotion are vital to a solid Christian Life. Power is necessary to an excellent sw'ing.

Burleson To Conduct Revival Here Second Baptist Church of Jackson will hold its Spring Revival beginning Sunday, May 8. The preacher for these services is the Rev. James R. Burleson of Cochran, Georgia. Rev. Burleson was at one time pastor of the Second Baptist and in a sense he will be returning home and will be welcomed by many of the people of Jackson.

According to Edgar Callaway, Interim Pastor, the people are ready for this revival. Make your plans to attend each evening service at seven-thirty, be ginning Sunday, May 8, and continuing through Friday evening. without strength. So it is in living for Jesus. But one does not have sufficient power within himself. One must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon y0u...” (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit comes to live in the believer at the new birth, but He fills and cleanses the Christian when the man of God makes his surrender complete. One does not get spiritual power in 30 or 40 pound allotments. Power comes when the Holy Spirit is in absolute control. Then do not forget to follow through. Many golfers hit at the ball instead of through it. To hit a satisfying golf shot one must follow through in his swing. Following that thought further, the Christ ian must recognize that the initial experience of salva tion is the starting point not an end in itself. One must follow through on his commitments to Christ. To be effective for Christ it must be a daily walk. That’s it! Living for Chirst is like playing golf, but living for Chirt is a life or death matter, and playing golf is not. So get Christian living “in your blood.” Hogansville-Pupil Is Named State STAR Student For 7977 For the first time in the history of the 19 year old Georgia Chamber of Com merce’s STAR Program, a girl is the State STAR Student. k- Ila Leola Burdette, a 17 year old Hogansville High School senior and her seventh grade language arts teacher, her mother, Mrs. Mildred Burdette, are Geor gia’s 1977 State STAR Student and State STAR Teacher, it was announced by Jasper Dorsey, Chairman of the Board, Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Vice President, Southern Bell Telephone Company.
