We often take for granted the people are going to be saved. But we need to become yielded to God so that this can come to pass. There was a need on this island. There are islands of need we can minister to in our area if we are willing to do so. Too many Christians have become just pew warmers. But God has us here to do His work. The Holy Spirit is given to us that we may be witnesses to God as in Acts 1:8. Rev. Roger Mason Sunday evening from 2 Samuel 15:1-6 talked of the results of an evil report. Absalom, King David's third son, spread evil reports about his father. Through this he was suc- cessful in undermining David's rule for a time. Evil reports will split families, churches, and destroy friend- ships. Evil report is an evil disease that distorts facts, gives false information. that needsto be cut out of one's life. Ignorance is the first step in exposing one to a contagious disease. Then one is con- taminated, then infected, then disease sets in. The people Absalom led astray against his father David were ig- norant of Absalom's purpose in spreading evil reports as in Proverbs 17:9. Second is ex- posure, as Absalom attemp- ted to expose as many people as possible to this evil report against King David, as in Romans 16:17. Third step is contamina- tion. Sowing the evil report turned people from King David to Absalom. With con- tamination came belief in the evil report. From contamina- tion comes infection. Upcoming events - The family night .for Tuesday September 13 will be cancell- ed. Instead it will be held Wednesday evening September 14 at 7:30 p.m. with Rev. Cyril Chagwin of Pa. U.S.A. and family ministering to families.
