SATURDAY EVENING WAS ONCE AGAIN ESPECIALLY ENJOYABLE AS GOSPEL LIGHT PUT ON THEIR ANNUAL WILD GAME DINNER. I HAVE BEEN PREACHING AT THESE NOW FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS BUT NEVER HAVE I SEEN SO MUCH WILD GAME AND SO WELL PREPARED. WHATEVER A HUNTER WANTED, IT WAS ON THE TABLE. EVERYTHING FROM VENISON TO SHEEPS HEAD TO TURKEY TO WILD BOAR SALAD TO FRESH BEAR TO SQUIRREL STEW TO ?????????????. SMILE. WELL ATTENDED BY MEN FROM SEVERAL CHURCHES.
THEN ON THE LORD'S DAY WE ENJOYED THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IN ALL THREE SERVICES, SUNDAY SCHOOL, MORNING WORSHIP AS WELL AS EVENING. THE LORD HAD ME ADDRESS A SENSITIVE SUBJECT IN THE MORNING SERVICE, THAT OF CREMATION. THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS IN THE BIBLE WHO WERE CREMATED, ONLY THE HEATHEN. THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE ALLOWING FOR THIS HEATHEN PREACTICE. MANY WELL MEANING CHRISTIANS ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER. IT MAY BE CHEAPER BUT ONE HAS NO SCRITPURE FOR SUCH A PRACTICE. SOME CHOOSE TO CREMATE A LOVED ONE BUT WITH NO BIBLICAL BASIS. MANY WERE ELATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AS QUESTIONS HAD ARRISEN FROM " FRIENDS WHO HAD BEEN CREMATING RATHER THAN BURYING THEIR LOVED ONE'S." REST ASSURED I HAD THE PASTORS NOD OF APPROVAL BEFORE PROCEEDING.
