Newspaper Page TextBe thankful for good health Whoever has been blessed with good health has something for which to be continually grateful. That comes from the bountiful land of our loving caring Heavenly Father. Why everyone is not so blessed is unexplainable. If you are one of the blessed, be thankful and pray for those who are not. Not many medical people, especially doctors, put much faith in religious beliefs and practices to contribute to good health or healing. At least that has been true, but now we are beginning to see more of them coming forth with proof that faith in God does affect us, health-wide. Inasmuch as people put so much faith in doctors, I am thankful to see their support of faith in God. I have been trou bled over the years to see that people have more faith in doc tors’ advice concerning their health than they seem to have in the message the men of God deliver from the Word of God. I want to pass on recent reports of studies done by Georgetown University and Can a Christian believe in Evolution? This is first of series of columns on beliefs Can there be a synthesis of such important concepts as a Creator God and macro-evolution? To this last question, the thorough-going thinkers on both sides of the issue agree, the answer is no! To answer the first question we must define our terms. A Christian is one who acknowledges his or her sin and helplessness before God, except in His sovereign mercy. A Christian believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and savior of sinners, receiving and resting upon Him alone for salvation. A Christian is one who has resolved to live as a follower of Jesus Christ. Evolution is the belief that: time + matter + chance = all that we see. Evolution posits the eter nal existence of matter from which life arose. Macro-evolution is the sub point that “higher” forms of life evolved from “lower” forms. Simply put, evolution teaches that your great-great-grandmother, ad infinitum, was primeval slim literally! It does not take long to demon strate that Creation and Evolution are mutually exclusive hypothe ses. These two opposing views are not theories since they cannot be tested, they are faith perspectives Local Denny’s restaurant building to be demolished From Staff Reports Vann Herring, president of McKibbon Brothers of Gainesville, has confirmed that Denny’s restaurant in Perry has been closed and the building will be demolished. Herring said the business was closed March 31. “We were doing a good busi ness but were faced with a com plete remodeling” in the Denny's franchise building, he explained. He said since the building is 30 years old that idea was not feasi ble.

Truluck Church Column others. Three-fourths of 4,000 sick people surveyed showed positive effects from religious commitment in their healing. Duke University Medical Center research also found that people who attend church are both physically healthier and less depressed. They also found that those who sit home praying alone or watching television evangelists actually are worse off. From a study done in San Francisco of nearly 400, very sick patients, 200 were prayed for and 200 were not prayed for. Neither knew which group they were in. The group prayed for suffered fewer health com plications. (The Rev. A.C. Truluck is pastor of Houston Lake Baptist Church and a guest church columnist this week.) Jeff Candell Church Column against which we can compare the data of our world. A Christian cannot accept any form of macro evolution because it opposes basic principles of Biblical faith. The summary is found in Romans 5:12. Scripture teaches that sin entered the world through the disobedience of our original parents, thus death entered creation. Evolution teaches that long periods of time and death were involved in getting to man. If death occurred before the fall of man, then death, evil and suffering are the work of our Creator and not the result of Adam and Eve’s choice. Evolution teaches that God is not necessary, misguided combi nations of Creation and Evolution teach that God is evil! Next week we will look at the results of evolutionary teaching. (Jeff Canclell is assistant pastor at Perry Presbyterian Church and columnist for the month of April.) constructed for a Howard Johnson’s restaurant during the 19605. “What we would like to do is to rebuild or sell the property to another chain,” Herring said. Demolition is scheduled for later this month. Denny’s employed about 25 people in Perry. McKibbon Brothers is also affiliated with Days Inn and Fairfield Inn in Perry, but there are no plans for changes in these busi nesses, Herring said.
