The council agreed to allow Cruz a seasonal business license for 60 days and limit her to 10 miles per hour in the residential districts where she is trying to sell her wares. In addition, she must provide proof of liability insurance. If it works out this year, then you should have no trouble next year, said Nephi Mayor Robert Steele.

The purpose of the amendment is to increase the budget to allow for the expenditure of federal grant funds for the Knapweed control project. Further information can be obtained at the office of the Juab County Clerk. Pat P. Greenwood Juab County Clerk Auditor 1 We have several issues we need to discuss, said Robert Steele, Nephi mayor. Before next year, said Steele, the council needed to decide what to do about the parking of cars on Main Street, the throwing of candy from vehicles, the use of squirt guns and water balloons, and making more shady areas available for parade viewing. He said they also needed to make certain camping along city streets in front of residences by Continued on page 5 KEEP FROZEN OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS SIN (Matthew 5:4-6- ) By Pastor Keith E. South First Baptist Church Last month we looked at what our attitude should be towards Self; seeing ourselves completely destitute of soul and emptying ourselves so Christ may fill us. Moving on through the Beatitudes we see Jesus next address our attitude to- wards Sin. We Are To The first Beatitude showed us that we are doing well to detach ourselves from the things in life. However, we should never detach ourselves from people. How would the world be if nobody cared? What if there was no one to share your dreams and your sorrows with? God tells us in Gen. 2:18, And the LORD God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I will God make him a helper comparable to him. aiMEMu Mew Sin As instituted and sanctified the family and out of Spiritual Devastation. that He gave friendships with others'. This is Matthew uses the strongest word the Greek language has to describe our attitude towards sin - Mourn. It is the same word used for mourning the dead, to bewail, bemoan, lament, or extreme grief. This is not just sorrow of heart, but the kind that brings unrestrainable tears. Jesus says Oh the blessedness of the one who mourns like one mourning for the dead. How can we be blessed by extreme grief? First, because it is God given. There is an old proverb the Arabs have, All Sunshine Makes A Desert. The place that experiences sunshine all the time, will become arid, unable to produce fruit. The water of tears from deep sorrow can (I say can because not all will use it positively) produce growth for us and fruit for God! Sorrow many times shows us the kindness of others and Gods comfort and compassion as nothing else can. Good times keep us on the surface but sorrow will drive us to a deeper relationship with God. I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chattered all the way. But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow, And neer a word said she, But, oh, the things I learned form her When Sorrow walked with me! . essential for the body of Christ, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and are trusting in Him and Him alone for their salvation, as Paul exhorts in Gal. 6:2, Bear ye one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ . and in Eph. 4:2, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one. another in love. If the Lord had not given those who intensely care (mourn) for others who are hurting from sin, the world would be a terrible place to live in. So in part, what Jesus is telling us in this second Beatitude is, Oh the TURKEY, CHICKEN, FISH, SHRIMP, BEEF, LEMONADE, ORANGE JUICE AND MORE blessedness of the one who truly is grief stricken over the sorrows and pain of others." Next month we will finish this second Beatitude by looking at the main thrust of what Jesus is teaching dealing with our own sin and the way we should view it in regards to our living for Christ on earth. Please understand that we cannot live for Christ unless we are one of His by accepting Him as our Savior. The Bible says in Rom. 6:23, For the wages of our sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." and if we would put all of our trust in Jesus and nothing else, we shall be saved, For whosoever shall call upon put all faith and trust in the name of the Lord shall be saved Rom. 10:13 DOCK AT SOUTH SIDE OF BUILDING CASH AND CARRY o ALL SALES FINAL |
