Slaying Giants in Your
Life
Part 7: Defeating the Giant of
Temptation Slaying the giant of temptation is not always easy but excellent when you win over temptation. God certainly never promises to remove temptation from us, for even Christ was subject to it (See Mt. 4:1-11) Temptation shows what people really are. It does not make us Christian or non-Christian. Overcoming the temptation does, however, make the Christian stronger if reliance on Christ is demonstrated and whatever temptation is totally resisted. Some Things to Know and Retain About Temptation Temptation is common to all Christians “But remember this - the wrong desires that come into your life aren’t anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you see. 1 Cor. 10:13 and 1 Pet. 5:8-9. Temptation is of the devil Matt. 4:1-11. And also man when he is enticed by his own evil desire by lust for something see James 1:14. TEMPTATION ITSELF IS NOT SIN, BUT SUCCUMBING TO IT IS. No temptation is irresistible: “You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand against it, for he has promised this and will do what he says. HE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO ESCAPE TEMPTATION’S POWER SO THAT YOU CAN BEAR UP PATIENTLY AGAINST IT” 1 Cor. 10:3 Whatever we experience, Jesus has been there before us. He “was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” Heb. 4:15 KJV. Claim the following Scriptures to overcome and slay the giant of temptation.
With God’s help, fervent prayers and relying on His holy word’ you can slay the giant of temptation.
Shepherd's
Corner Scriptures clearly portray a loving GOD that sees all, knows all and provides all. God is with us in everything we do. Therefore we strive to serve God the very best we can. However, sometimes in our work within the church we tend to get discouraged. Sometimes we even judge our value based upon what others are doing or not doing, rather than keeping our eyes focused on the Lord. For all of you serving the Lord behind the scenes and wonder why there's no recognition, be assured of this divine fact, GOD sees you and He knows. Please don't allow the insensitivities of others to discourage you in your service to our Lord. We want to encourage all of you that work diligently and serve so hard to keep on keeping on. Keep serving even if overlooked and under appreciated because GOD does see, and will reward when the time is right. Every member of the Dalton Church Family is important and your contributions to the Lord's Kingdom are needed and appreciated. 1 Thess. 4:9 "Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other" -For the Elders |

Craft Day! Bring your projects and join the fun! We are having a ladies craft day on Friday, February 10th, from 5:00 p.m. to ??? in the small auditorium. You should bring your craft supplies, a small craft supply item to donate as a prize for lots of drawings and a finger food to share for a potluck supper. There will be craft BINGO, snacks, fellowship and lots of fun! If you’re not a crafter, come and learn something new. Join us for all or part of this fun-filled (and productive) evening. All are welcome, so bring a friend! Attention All Ladies (including teens) Please be sure to turn in your women’s brochure to the church office or to Nancy Callis as soon as possible. Please turn one in even if there aren’t any areas you wish to check off. We will be calling women who do not turn in a brochure to follow up. If you have not yet received a Dalton Gardens Church of Christ women’s brochure be sure to pick one up today. They are located on the front kiosk. The brochure presents the ministries, activities and fellowship opportunities for women of our congregation to be involved in, including Bible studies, support groups, fellowship activities and opportunities to serve those in need.

Teen Scene It seems like every week I am making the comment that things on the teen scene are very busy. Well guess what, they are! Mid-winter retreat begins Friday. The vans will leave here about 4:30 on Friday. You will need some money for a stop at the golden arches in Newport. Everyone received a flyer on the trip and should be aware that your medical release form needs to be turned in before you board the van to go. Please let me know today if you plan to attend so that we can plan for important things like food etc. In preparing for Sunday Bible class, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen in our youth group, or in the church for that matter, if we all took our place and played our part? If we all started living like "Son" reflectors rather than individual stars and suns? If every person's priority became a divine pursuit, not a performance? I think that we'd se our families differently. We'd treat one another differently. Our youth group and church would begin to shine. People in the community would take notice because we would be changed! The God centered life works, and it rescues us from a life that doesn't. So how about it? Who wants to start reflecting? This last part is just a little test for the teens so that I can know how many of them read the bulletin. Teens, if you read this I want you to bring me one of your school pictures. I want to make a picture board in the office with all of your lovely faces on it. Don't spread this request around to anyone else or the test will not work. Have a wonderful week! In Him, Scott
