<b>Back to the Fundamentals</b>,
Date: October 2-5, 2016<br />
Location: OWATONNA CHURCH OF CHRIST, 500 DUNNELL DRIVE, OWATONNA<br />
**SUNDAY 9:30 A.M. The Fundamentals of Christian Living (faith, love, and hope). Our faith directs us toward the right things to do; our love gets us moving in that direction; our hope sustains us during the difficult times.<br />
**SUNDAY (Class) 10:50 A.M. The Fundamentals about God.
Not knowing God can lead to distrust and disobedience. What are the fundamentals we need to know about God?<br />
** SUNDAY 6:00 P.M. The Fundamentals of Divine Love [Location at Gainey Park, All welcome to cookout and worship] Paul said that Christ’s love compels us to faithful service. If we understand the love, we will gladly serve.<br />
** MONDAY 7:00 P.M. The Fundamentals of Salvation.
Christ died for the salvation of all, but not all will be saved (Matt. 7:13-14). What must one do, if anything, to have the salvation that Christ offers?<br />
** TUESDAY 7:00 P.M. The Fundamentals of Worship.
When man separates worship from the law of Christ, it is “vain” worship. What principles are to be used to determine how we should worship today?<br />
** WEDNESDAY 7:00 P.M. The Fundamentals of Full Service.
When will you be ready to give full service to the Lord?
** If you are not familiar with the churches of Christ, please join us Monday and Tuesday for special lessons on distinctive doctrines of the New Testament church.<br />

Reynolds from Indiana is having skin cancer removed this week.<br />Keep the ladies who are pregnant in your prayers.<br /><br />GOD GIVES HAPPINESS<br /><br />From the Times Online comes news that: "The new generation of antidepressant drugs work no better than a placebo for the majority of patients with mild or even severe depression, comprehensive research of clinical trials has found."1 This news has got to make you a little sad and a little mad. If it's true, people have a right to be mad for being scammed. It's sad because a lot of people are depending on the medicine. Apparently, some people get some relief from these meds. But there are studies to show that people are helped by the placebos too. And one study on placebos, found that more expensive placebo "meds" were more effective than the less costly ones. A 10-cent pill doesn't kill pain as well as a $2.50 pill, even when they are identical placebos, according to a provocative study by Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist at Duke University.2 Can you figure that one out? To say the least, there is much that is not known. In the meantime, there are a lot of lonely, sad, anxious, fearful, angry, worried, and even suicidal people who are just learning that the drugs work no better than do the placebos. And the placebos don't have side effects.<br /><br />The Apostle Paul says that God promises to give you peace that surpasses comprehension and it will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil. 4:6ff. The word "peace" means "one, quietness, or rest" according to Strong's. Our world tries to explain every malady as a chemical imbalance, but surely God has some help for these things. Christians should not forget or doubt that real happiness is from God. The church is not in the drug business. It is in the business of pointing people to "the God of peace", the true source of happiness and peace. The world is not going to what God can give; that's the job of church and of individual Christians. God is getting little credit for the true happiness that most Christians enjoy. God knows the key to happiness and joy. Knowing God's promises and being able to cast our worries on Him is a source of true strength. We need to be encouraging people to read their Bibles, to pray, and to give thanks to Him. He cares for you. Think about good stuff. Make the choice to focus your mind on positive things like the promises of God's salvation. Hang around godly people and find someone who you can confide in. Think on what is good, right, just, holy, and decent and pray to God about these things with thanksgiving. Read Philippians 4:6-10 and meditate on those words. Come to church and get involved. Look for a chance to serve and help someone and then give God the glory for it. God is going to bless you and make you happy.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmM865XfbYACgSDcaoy6GmBXQ0hHAGah1PTLWbuf0R5XEXE_Cuoqqdenx9lCHcv9CqnRhUPrsP0v1-oEls0L2ZWAbnOwbKPlsgDA1LQCFB27VDgRuNZquDSM_qcPO5jYX6mUF/s1600-h/2008+Mar+Owatonna+Blog+visitor+map.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173716986275278130" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmM865XfbYACgSDcaoy6GmBXQ0hHAGah1PTLWbuf0R5XEXE_Cuoqqdenx9lCHcv9CqnRhUPrsP0v1-oEls0L2ZWAbnOwbKPlsgDA1LQCFB27VDgRuNZquDSM_qcPO5jYX6mUF/s320/2008+Mar+Owatonna+Blog+visitor+map.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This map indicates the general location of visitors to our site in the last three weeks.

Parents were surveyed on the day of the doctor's visit and on the next day, after those in the treatment groups had given their kids honey or dextromethorphan at bedtime. Among the three groups, children given honey had the greatest reduction in cough frequency and severity, and the most improved sleep, as did their parents." See full article <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/email/idUSWRI37851120071203">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><strong>"COFFEE"</strong><br />A group of alumni, all highly established in their respective careers, got<br />together for a visit with their old university professor. The conversation<br />soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of work and life in<br />general...<br /><br />Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon<br />returned with a large pot of coffee and an eclectic assortment of<br />cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal - some plain, some expensive, some<br />quite exquisite. Quietly he told them to help themselves to some<br />fresh coffee.<br /><br />When each of his former students had a cup of coffee in hand, the old<br />professor quietly cleared his throat and began to patiently address the<br />small gathering... ''You may have noticed that all of the nicer looking cups<br />were taken up first, leaving behind the plainer and cheaper ones.<br />While it is only natural for you to want only the best for yourselves, that<br />is actually the source of much of your stress-related problems! "<br /><br />He continued...''Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the<br />coffee. In fact, the cup merely disguises or dresses up what we drink.<br />What each of you really wanted was coffee, not a cup, but you instinctively<br />went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups....''<br /><br />''Now consider this: Life is coffee. Jobs, money, and position in society<br />are merely cups. They are just tools to shape and contain Life, and the type<br />of cup we have does not truly define nor change the quality of the Life we<br />live. Often, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee<br />that God has provided us. God brews the coffee, but he does not supply the cups.<br />Enjoy your coffee!''<br /><br />The happiest people don't have the best of everything - they just make the<br />best of everything they have... So please remember: Live simply.<br />Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God. And<br />remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but<br />the one who needs the least.<br /><br /><strong>CHILDREN POINT OF VIEW</strong><br />1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.<br />2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.<br />3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT.<br />4. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.<br />5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH.<br />6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES.<br />7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA ! WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.<br />8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS<br />9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.<br />10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.<br />11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL.<br />12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.<br />13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.<br />14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES.<br />15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.<br />16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED, THEY FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER.<br />17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.<br />18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.<br />19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE.<br />20.

The church in Owatonna will provide this in his honor. He passed away at home at the young age of 49. He loved the truth and sought after it all of his life. The church was home to him. He was a fixture in the church for many years. Dave will be missed so, so much. I need your help. If you have a special photo of Dave, please send it to me ASAP. I prefer to have it by email, for speed, but if you have a print your can share, send it and I will scan and it to the collection you see here.<p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377199.post-21999016056681470362007-11-03T22:19:00.000-07:002007-11-07T07:34:02.259-08:002007 NOVEMBER CHURCH NEWS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Fb9dwqXvQ27B2EkKK1Y8tvh-xxILJOBT0Rl-mKoj7XcEIf1y7wK2GL4BSGWptayDH_pTHC4zkVXgV1wBLEkcM0NUBvVOdo8MXmNQ_jf4i5pObclsHHKXvuaDY3pTfCBiXCD6/s1600-h/2007+November+Worship+Schedule+color.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Fb9dwqXvQ27B2EkKK1Y8tvh-xxILJOBT0Rl-mKoj7XcEIf1y7wK2GL4BSGWptayDH_pTHC4zkVXgV1wBLEkcM0NUBvVOdo8MXmNQ_jf4i5pObclsHHKXvuaDY3pTfCBiXCD6/s400/2007+November+Worship+Schedule+color.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128850863605270626" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Keep praying for Dave V.
