Church Match Scholarships

Students who may have missed the deadline to apply for our scholarship program, can still complete an application. Contact Denise Lacy, 204-6809 or to get an application form. August 22 is the absolute last day for submission.

We are also seeking donations to the Scholarship Fund. We award scholarships of $250/ semester/student, so the fund can be depleted quickly. You can be a part of this valuable ministry to students who are attending Christian schools or planning to go into full-time ministry positions. Just designate your check “scholarship fund.”

Prayer Corner

HOW CAN WE TALK TO A HOLY GOD?
The Bible provides two “bookend” concepts of prayer. On one end we know that prayer is communication with a holy God, an infinite, eternal Being, the Sovereign of the universe (Col. 1:15-18) against whom we have sinned. Our response, therefore, should be reverence (II Cor. 7:1), honoring, and praising God for who He is and what He does.

At the other end is the truth that because of what Christ has done, we may come boldly into God’s presence (Heb. 4:16), asking Him for anything in Christ’s name (John 14:13-14).

In the middle of these two Biblical truths lies the practical reality. Because God is sovereign and holy, we must come to Him with reverence and respect, rejecting casualness and flippancy. At the same time, however, we need not fear Him if we are His children through faith in Jesus Christ. We can indeed talk to God about anything, at any time, in any place. And, because we have an intimate relationship with Him, we can discuss matters as with our closest friend, using our own words.

The fact is we need to understand both ends to live in the middle. God wants us to know that He is holy and in control; but He wants us to be confident in our love relationship with Him.

Let’s not reserve our prayers for church. Prayer must be central in our lives; it is our lifeline, our vital communication link with our Heavenly Father. Let’s prepare for eternity with Him by being regular with our conversations in prayer today!
