I once owned a 1975 Pontiac Firebird. It was a pretty basic model,
with a 350 c.i. engine and 2-barrel carb. But it was glossy white
with red and orange pin-striping, a white leatherette interior
and it had cool-looking mag wheels. It looked like a show car and
when I drove down the street it turned heads. We had to sell it
when we bought a house in order to afford the down payment.
The only problem with the car was that it didn’t run very well
when it was cold. Interested buyers who came to look at it saw
that it looked nice, but once they drove it they walked away. I
finally had to sell it for much less than I was hoping to.

PRAISE & PRAYER

Associate Pastor: REV. JONATHAN KROEKER
Youth Pastor:

THIS MORNING:
 Pray for our shut-ins: ROSE-ANN L. and FREDA B..
 Pray for PAUL & TANYA G., and local believers who will develop facilities
and establish a camping ministry in Romania and provide settings for
leadership development.
 Give thanks for all our mothers and pray for them as they faithfully
raise their children to honour God.
When it comes to religious observance, a lot of people are like
that Firebird. They look really good on the outside. They give,
they pray, they sing, they serve, and they talk. Man, can they talk.
They can throw around high-sounding Biblical language that will
make you feel like a spiritual worm. But inside they don’t run so
good. Jesus called them hypocrites. And he said there’s a better
way to win God’s favour. That’s what we want to look at today as
we consider what it means to have true religion.

GARY CLATTERBUCK
FIELD COORDINATOR, RUSSIA
Gary Clatterbuck is the field
coordinator for Russia, working under
the Moscow Theological Seminary
and providing teachers, upon request,
to ten different Learning Centers
across Russia. He continues to work
with MTS to plan future ways
consultants can serve the developing
leaders in all of Russia, though there
is some uncertainty concerning a law
that passed last summer calling for
tighter restrictions on missionaries
and evangelism. Pray for the cases
working their way through the courts,
as well as the hearts and actions of
Russia’s leaders. Due to the
precarious nature of the situation
because of the new law, please don’t
share this anywhere online, including
social media. Find out more about
