Revival Centre Bill Davies conducted the service Sunday morning and Mr. Ken Allen read Isaiah 53. Mr. Davies asked "How free are you?" before he read Colossians 1:9 - 14. Verse 13 tells us God has delivered us from the power of spiritual darkness. Luke 4 tells how the devil will try to get to us through the physical. The next way is through selfishness. to have things that are attractive. The last way is through the spiritual realm, by trying peoples doubts about God's power. We thank God that He has delivered us from the devil's power of darkness. Bruce Shaw opened the evening service by reading Eph. 1; 22-23 . Mrs. Jean Cochrane sang "I See Who You Really Are" accom- panying herself on her guitar. The Dr. Tim LeHaye film "How to cope with Hostility" was shown. Our temperament is the key to many of life's biggest problems. Hostility is one of the worst problems. When people get emotionally upset and angry they make serious mistakes. A person can destroy himself by anger, bitterness, and wrath, as this affects all the body's vital organs. Hate and bitterness towards a parent can be transferred towards one mate, ruining a marriage relationship. The best sex education for little children is for parents to show them parental love. To eradicate hate and bitterness against a parent, one has to ask God's forgiveness. then forgive the parent who hurt you and made you angry and hate them. Upcoming events April 17, Good Friday, Good Friday service will be held at Exeter Pentecostal Church. Lucan Revival Cen- tre and Centralia Faith Tabernacle will join in this service.
