September 2017
By Pastor Gil Morales There are many words that people use on a day to day basis, that are a part of their everyday language. We use words, and titles that are fundamental in describing a person’s position, role, or job title. However; there is a word that stand above our common everyday lingo that causes one to pause and take notice. There is a word that defines the best in human courage, love, selflessness, and sacrifice beyond all others; that word is the word hero. Because of its nature, the word “hero” is not a word that is used with regularity; its character causes us to use it with great care, and respect. To designate someone as a hero is not randomly used in an elementary form to describe a common

act; a hero is used to describe the actions of a person(s) who was willing to do something extraordinary, and admirable in light of everyday life. Unfortunately, referring to someone as a hero has at many times been misplaced. “Hero” has been used to define a sports figure, or an actor. “Hero” has been used to describe a musician or someone famous. Although they may be popular, referring to them as a hero may be incorrect. A hero is someone who demonstrates acts of courage or valor. It is an act of sacrifice that exists outside of the arena of everyday human experience. However rare this word may be, our communities, neighborhoods, and nation hold within it the character of everyday heroes that serve our local communities, and country.

There are heroes in our local law enforcement communities who work to keep the public safe. Heroes who willingly put themselves in harm’s way, many times facing dangers that most would run from, they run towards. There are heroes like Deputy Andrew Everhart, and Deputy Shane Bronson who were recently shot in the line of duty. Having confronted an armed threat, at the peril of risking their own lives, they placed themselves in harm’s way for the sake of public safety. There are heroes like Deputy Dan Harris who willingly put his own life at risk and rushed in to rescue his two fellow deputies and pulled them to safety, these are heroes. There are heroes in our community who respond to medical emergencies and the

threat of fires. These heroes face many traumatic life and death situations, they are often faced with little time to provide medical care to their patients who have been injured by accident, or some form of personal injury. They are asked to make quick decisions with the life of their patients in their hands. They are men and women whose office is not air conditioned, or carpeted, their office is anywhere they are needed, anywhere they are called. Called to face fires, they run into burning buildings with little thought to their own safety; they are called to help the hurt or suffering. These people are the heroes of our communities, who are willing to do the extraordinary whenever

- Crazy Situations situations. Some might wonder if they have a target on their back inviting chaos to take aim. Granted this may sound like an over exaggeration to some, while others might say “Yup, that sums up my life alright”. How often do we hear remarks such as: Why me? What’s next? I can’t catch a break? It’s not fair! I can’t handle one more thing! If somethings going to happen - it will happen to me. Is it possible to invite peace and rest into our lives or turmoil and unrest by the thoughts we entertain? Does what we focus on and the meaning we give to it have negative or positive impact? Ever notice if we are discouraged or upset that that we are more sensitive to everything; that molehills seem like mountains? Yet, when we are joyful or thinking positively, the same situations appear to roll off our backs like water on a duck and we can take the chaos in stride with peace of mind. So, what are we focusing on? is it the negative aspects of the situation or looking for the silver lining? In troubling situations are we able to honestly say “God, I’m not going to stress over this, I trust you to work all this out for the good”? We are advised to “Let not your heart be troubled”; “let

by Paula McBride Somebody send me back to school! Do you know of a course in Basic Tact 101, or a weekend seminar in how to remove one’s foot from one’s mouth without damaging a relationship? I need the instruction badly because I DID IT AGAIN! I let thoughtless words fly from my mouth. I wasn’t trying to be mean (and my daughter points out that at times I am); I was making what I thought was a light-hearted jest. Yet as soon as I left the rehab hospital where I was visiting, I turned the words around as if I was the one receiving them. How hurt I would be! I agonized all evening, stayed awake in the night praying my friends would receive my apology, and hurried the next morning to ask forgiveness in person. I didn’t deserve the grace given me when my plea was lovingly accepted. My careless words have brought grief to myself and others more frequently than I care to admit. So that’s why I’m going back to the basics of life with our lips. Working with words. Reining in the restless tongue. I’m so grateful all I need is found in one textbook I already own, God’s Word, the Bible. Let’s see what courses would be included in Biblical Tact 101. Course One could be called Guarding
the Heart. The wisest man, Solomon, wrote, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23). In this course, we would learn that before we even attempt to control our tongues, we need to examine our hearts. An angry heart will spill angry words. A prideful heart may use words to belittle or scorn. A careless heart, careless words. We need to expose our hearts for cleansing and healing; then, by spending time with God and His Word, we align our hearts with His way of thinking and doing, and the life of Jesus comes alive in us and our words and actions. Another course might be Watching Our Ways. Yes, the Holy Spirit helps us control our tongues, but we have responsibility, too. As King David learned from mistakes with his words, he wrote, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin (Psalm 39:1) Can we do our best to avoid situations where flippant words and sarcasm seem like normal vocabulary? To complete Biblical Tact 101, the course would be Word Testing. Here we would visit Job who spent agonizing days listening to poisonous words from so-called friends. He suggests that his friends would do well to test their words.

by April James My neighbors and I were evacuated once again this year; first time was for a potential dam failure, this time for a ruptured main gas line just over 100 steps from my front door. At first, we were instructed to move down another three doors, you know - just in case. So, there we sat underneath a big oak tree in camp chairs enjoying a nice cool breeze, a friendly chat, bottled waters the fire department brought us, and the whooshing sound of releasing gas as we watched the hub-bub around us. It was later decided the city’s electricity would be turned off. The power sub-station just happened to be at the same corner as the leaking gas line; a spark would not have been a good thing, could have made our small town smaller. We were instructed to evacuate the area during repairs; we needed to leave - without our vehicles. Our street has been under construction for few weeks leaving us no driveway access, so we’ve been parking in the church lot, which yes – also happens to be located at the same corner as the leak, so on foot we left. Forget reality TV, I’ve had enough of reality life out my front window the past month that you just can’t script. So, what do you do with such circumstances? We are faced every day with crazy

The Best Part of Being a Grandparent by Dr. Larry McCall| www.christiangrandparenting.net/blog So, what do you think is the best part of being a grandparent? What’s that wellworn quip? “The best thing about being a grandparent is that you can spoil the grandkids then send them home to their parents!” Really? That’s it? That’s the best thing about being a grandparent? Hmmm . . . I hope not! Who wants spoiled children running around? There’s got to be something better. So, what is the best part of being a grandparent? I think for most of us grandparents, our “enjoyment quotient” is high. You know, “If I had realized having grandchildren would be this much fun I would have had them first!” That’s great. I’m glad you’re enjoying being a grandparent. My wife and I are enjoying being grandparents, too. Let’s have fun with those grandkids, my friends. Let’s keep our “enjoyment quotient” high. But, I wonder how high our “understanding quotient” is as grandparents. What I mean is, how much time and effort have we put into trying to understand God’s calling on our lives as grandparents? How proactive have we been in exploring the Bible to
find out what God expects of Christian grandparents? When my wife and I were asked to teach a class on gospel-centered grandparenting, we were taken a bit by surprise. It’s not that we were against the idea. We just hadn’t given it much thought. We had done a fair amount of teaching on marriage over the years, and on parenting issues, too. But, grandparenting? Who ever heard of a class on grandparenting? No one had ever given us any systematic teaching on grandparenting. Yet, here we were, the grandparents of six very-muchloved grandchildren, sincerely doing the best we knew how to prayerfully point them to Christ, even though we had never been given any specific training in this awesome ministry of grandparenting. Well, we said “yes” to the invitation to teach the class on grandparenting. We knew we had a lot to learn. So, we began in earnest to search God’s Word on his calling on our lives as grandparents. One part of God’s Word that we found especially helpful in increasing our “understanding quotient” of the ministry of grandparenting was Psalm 145. There we found God calling us to be intentionally engaged in an inter-generational spiritual relay. Are you familiar with Psalm 145?
Go ahead. Turn or tap to that Psalm right now. Do you see what we saw? God wants us to intentionally bless the coming generations by exalting Him as we pass the baton of faith. We are to engage our grandchildren by faithfully and passionately talking to them about: God’s greatness (verses 3-6) God’s goodness (verses 8-10) God’s sovereignty (verses 11-13a) God’s daily provision (verses 13b-17) God’s saving grace (verses 18-20) Having fun with our grandkids is great! But, that’s not the best part of grandparenting. The best part is having the amazing privilege of passing the baton of faith. So, as we interact with our grandchildren whether it’s a face-to-face conversation, through a card we might send, over the phone or through social media, we can intentionally talk to our grandchildren about God, his glory and the delight we can have in him through Christ. And, Lord willing, what will be the end result? “That they might set their hope in God” (Psalm 78:7). Isn’t that what we want more than anything else for our grandchildren? Now, that’s the best part of being a grandparent!
The following responded to the Facebook question- “The best thing about being a grandparent is _____.” “Watching your 18 mo old twin Grandchildren & their sister yell GaGa and run to you with open arms for hugs & snuggles.” Judy Tarrell-Steininger “Seeing the smiles on my grandchildren’s face knowing they are a part of me and the big hugs I get when I see them , watching them grow learn and succeed in life.” Ellen Ballard “Watching my boys growing up!!:)” Janie Ommert Yaklich “The overwhelming love and joy they bring. It’s amazing!” Trudy Gibson

WHO ARE THOSE GIDEONS? Anybody who has stayed in a motel or hotel sometime in their lifetime has likely come across a Bible in their room that says, “Placed by the Gideons.” At some point, you may have asked the question “How in the world did these Bibles get here?” Y o u may have been in the military or on a college campus or leaving a high school middle-school campus and been given a small book from an older gentleman who politely offered you a New Testament. Hopefully you accepted it. That is what we do as Gideons; we plant seeds. We plant God’s Word into the hands of tens of millions of people in over 200 countries and then pray for a harvest of souls. The wives of the Gideons, the Auxiliary, distribute large print New Testaments to the patients of convalescent homes, and give white New Testaments to the staff there and in medical offices. Does it do any good? God is faithful to His Word as Isaiah 55:11 tells us, “God’s
Word will not return void.” Each year we receive thousands of testimonies from people whose lives have been transformed by His Word as the Holy Spirit is faithful to change lives upon taking in His Word. Souls once ruined by alcohol, d r u g s , divorce and depression have been restored at the foot of the cross. Y o u r l o c a l Gideon Camp of about 35 men and their wives covers Colusa, Sutter and Yuba Counties, reaching the lost in the junior high and high schools, motels, medical facilities and jails, and through one-onone witnessing. They would appreciate your prayers as we faithfully seek to reach those in need of a Savior.

FROM THE ARCHIVES... by Wendi Blount “For the Joy of the Lord is our strength” ~Nehemiah 8:10 “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” ~ Philippians 4:4 “A Christian should be an alleluia from head to foot.” ~Augustine “I find that rejoicing opens me for the invasion of His Spirit. All great prayer, all liberating worship, all lasting encounters with God, begin with praise and rejoicing.” ~Lloyd John Ogilvie: Let God Love You In this fallen world, there’s enough darkness and despair to crush the very souls of men.

“ Thank You Jesus”: My Battle Cry
a hurting neighbor or look over your own life. This is a wounding world we live in and it usually leaves its mark in the form of physical, mental and emotional scars. Remember Jesus still bore the scars of the cross after the resurrection, yet the cross is not a symbol of despair but of victory! To really do battle in this world against the darkness we must praise God when the darkness seems to be winning. I’m not speaking out of ignorance. I’ve experienced the brutality of violence, the death of loved ones; a childhood full of all those abuses no one likes to think about. The question in the face of evil is: Is it bigger than God? This doesn’t mean we ought to disavow our suffering. That would only give
the pain power. Of course, we hurt and grieving is simply another name for healing. Grieving must do its work in us if we are not to remain broken. Too often, wounded people attempt to avoid the pain of grief because it makes them feel small and vulnerable. We must trust God in our weakness as Paul learned to do in his suffering when Jesus told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”(2 Corinthians 12:9) Jan Dravecky beautifully described how this works when she wrote: “What suffering and persecution and pain and difficulties do is not so much make us weak, as show us we are weak. Without them, we can deceive ourselves into believing we’re prizefighters. With them,
we’re reminded that we’re not constructed to function on our own power. The trick is to allow suffering to be used as a tool to help us depend on God and not upon ourselves.” So often, the struggling Christians I meet react to this message with: “yeah, yeah, I know that, but…” response which indicates that they have missed the meaning altogether. The point is not that God Is. The point is; how should a believer respond to the truth that God Is. How is it ever good for a believer to respond to tribulation with an “I know that God is, but…” attitude? Shouldn’t our response always be; “I have troubles

Continued From Pg 1: “HERO”
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus was the ultimate hero. His entire life consisted of serving others. He helped those in need, he helped those who were hurting, and he helped those who could not help themselves. Jesus served sacrificially and without regard to his own personal welfare. Jesus served to the point of personal sacrifice, and in the end, paid the ultimate sacrifice. He is the divine hero who gave his life, he was willing to place himself in harm’s way, for the sake of saving humanity. I had the honor and privilege of serving in India Company, 3rd Battalion 5th Marines. I served with the best of America’s sons and daughters. They were the best America had to offer, they were the fruit of this nation. They were men I sweat with, and ate dirt with, they were men I laughed with, and men I cried with, without reservation. They were men, and women, I trusted beyond measure, I loved them with a depth and degree that few would understand, or have the privilege of experiencing. They were men into whose hands I would willingly entrust my life. They would put themselves in harm’s way for me; and I knew it. Jesus said in John 15:13
“Greater love has no man than this, for a man to lay down his life for his friends”. These were the kind of people I had the honor of serving with. People that would lay down their lives for one another. They came from the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, and the rocky shores of the coast of Maine. They came from the rural areas of the Deep South, and the crowded streets of New York City. They came from the vast wheat fields of the mid-west, and the ghettos of Chicago. They came from poverty, they came from wealth, some were educated, and others were not. These were the heroes I proudly served with. There are those forgotten POW/MIA heroes who have yet to come home. Those who served honorably, fought bravely, and some who died sacrificially. Those warriors who need to be remembered for their actions were not in vain, but helped the perpetuation of the privileged freedoms we exercise today; these too are heroes.

words, but tongue control is a daily challenge. That means I better stay in school and take frequent refresher courses. With God’s help, I will guard my heart, watch my ways, and test my words. I want to be like Jesus.
Con’t From Pg 14 - “Thank You jesus...” but, praise the Lord, I know that God Is!” When our response to suffering is to praise God and thank Him, we’re not whistling in the dark, being trite, unrealistic or simpleminded. We are battle-hardened warrior’s engaging the enemy because we are in a war where the

There will be static displays, aircraft, a flyover, live demonstrations, and live music from the Air Force band, media, food, and guest speakers including John Godwin from Duck Dynasty.

LIFE MATTERS presented by Yuba-Sutter Right To Life Starting Wednesday, September 27th, Yuba City will join over 300 cities around the world through 40 Days for Life, which is helping women who are facing the many challenges of an unsupported pregnancy, saving lives, offering hope and healing to anyone who has been hurt by abortion, and peacefully praying for an end to abortion in our community. Everyone in the Yuba-Sutter area is invited to join us in peaceful, prayerful, life-saving presence at the public sidewalk in front of the Yuba City Planned Parenthood, 430 North Palora Ave, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, starting Wednesday September 27th through early November. We are hoping each church will come for at least one hour a week. At this Planned Parenthood location, the Abortion Pill is distributed all week, very sadly intended to end the baby’s life up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. We are there in peaceful prayer and ministry, offering people who are entering the abortion business information about Fetal Development to convey the humanity of the child in the womb. Also, just as importantly, we are there to help women who may be feeling pressured into having an abortion. Few women really want to end the life of their child, but they may be feeling overwhelmed,

desperate, and in need of help. 3,000 abortions happen every day in our country, with nearly a million women a year undergoing abortion, leaving many hurt for a lifetime due to increased risk of depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, alcohol and drug abuse. There is FREE help available to assist women through many local resources. For clients who are not going there for other appointments, besides an abortion, we offer comprehensive, affordable, accessible Federally Qualified Community Health Clinics, which can be found at GetYourCare.org as preferable life-affirming alternatives to the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood. Especially after the recent investigative videos showing the abortion industry harvesting and trafficking of baby body parts, there is increased public discontent with abortion and an aversion especially to the largest abortion business in the country, Planned Parenthood. Please join us! Through the 40 Days for Life ministry all across the country, 13,305 babies have already been saved and their mothers spared the life-long pain of abortion, while 154 abortion workers have quit their jobs and 86 abortion facilities have closed, including four abortion businesses right here in northern
California in recent months. Come help women, save lives, heal the hurting, and end abortion in our community. For more information, contact Yuba City 40 Days for Life Director Maureen Guth at 530-673-1437 or

A Tale of Two Kiddies By Jon Skillman I offer two scenarios for your consideration. 1) Little Johnny puts down his olive drab GI Joe and picks up his sister’s Barbie doll. He likes the color of her clothes, the silky feel of her hair and there’s some glitter too. What’s not to like. Anyway, Johnny begins to show an affinity for pink and on occasion, skips and dances. His parents think little of it and Johnny passes through puberty relatively unscathed. 2) Little Billy puts down his olive drab GI Joe and picks up his sister’s Barbie doll, he shows a preference for pink, and begins to skip and dance. Well, his parents rush him off to a gender identity therapist where he is told… it‘s okay to be a girl if that’s what makes him feel good. Trusting what the adults are telling him, 4-year old Billy transitions into 4 year old Billie, with a new wardrobe and set of pronouns. As he/ she nears puberty, they pump him full of puberty blockers to suppress the natural onset of hormonal changes that would affirm his God given gender. This was done, they say, to give Billy more time to decide on hormone treatments. But… hadn’t the decision already been made at age 4? The real question is: who really made that decision? Back in the day of relative sanity, what happened to Billy
was known as tracking, channeling and just a touch of brainwashing. There is a big difference between being attracted to something and wanting to become it. A child’s world is seen through imagination and lived in fantasy. I wanted to live the lonely life of a cowboy, but as I grew up and survived puberty, I realized…I really didn’t want to be that lonely. You know, there are reasons for age restrictions on things such as driving, voting and drinking. The same should hold true in cases of gender conversion, yet we are led to believe that a child of 4 has the mental, emotional and comprehension to make such a life altering decision. In an article on a transgender day camp, the founder of the camp stated: “I didn’t know that you could be transgender at a very young age, but my daughter knew for sure at 2.” Yikes… now that’s one astute toddler. Heck, I was still in diapers, sucking my thumb and totally oblivious as to how things worked. Remarkable! This is shaky ground under a very slippery slope, and I fear these very young children are being irreparable harmed by not passing through puberty first. God knit these children together in their mother’s womb and He didn’t’ drop a stich… but I fear these adults have slipped a cog.

EDITORIAL “Souler” Eclipse On Monday, Aug 21st, I , like many of us walked outside our schools and workplaces to see an event that occurs on rare occasions. The Solar Eclipse of 2017 was long awaited by science lovers and anticipated by most in this nation due to its unusual location for “totality”. It isn’t often that the sun is completely or totally blocked by the moon in our viewing area. It was such a hyped event that there were parties for it. On Monday morning, I found myself at one of those parties. My friend David Holycross hosted an eclipse viewing party in the parking lot of his business. In addition to getting the special glasses for the “show”, they had great breakfast burritos for sale, a raffle (which I never win) and a live remote feed of 93Q radio. For most of the hour and a quarter leading up to the total (or in our case 80%) blocking of the sun, there was conversation and occasional glances at the slowly disappearing sun. It was a nice distraction from thinking about North Korea or Neo-Nazis. So, I was waiting for the darkness to appear and the stars to come out. Didn’t happen. Frankly, I was underwhelmed. Sorry, I just felt a little disappointed. After all, there was A LOT of hype about this. So much so, that David ran out of glasses very early in the morning. Thanks for holding a pair for me, David! I did get to see the sun get covered by the moon (most of it anyway). Those in the path of “totality” really got to see a show, from what I hear. But the rest of us didn’t see the sky change all that much. Wow! With only 20% of the sun uncovered, the incredible light and power of the sun is truly evident. I would love to have been
Seth Halpern - Editor in Oregon or Idaho and seen the whole display. What I was treated to was the evidence of a creative and powerful God and Creator who placed that miraculous burning rock in the sky along with the moon that passed by it. To witness the heavens and handiwork of the same Person who created you and me if astounding. I wasn’t awestruck by the eclipse nearly as much as I was by the one who created it. I prayed while I was there that those watching in awe would sense the awe of the designer of that event. Others, who know God, were praying and wondering if our lives will be different after the event. Would prophecies come to pass or the rapture take place? Would North Korea choose to send a missile while all eyes were in the sky? Much like the blood moons and the dawn of the new millennium, nothing “spectacular” happened in the physical. God, however, is not in the physical and so the knowledge of our creator and the evidence of His existence IS spectacular everyday! Unless, of course, you believe that a big bang somewhere in the cosmos created it all. If so, then the only thing spectacular about the party was the breakfast burrito
