FAITH & RELIGION
A Thought By Michael P. Daniel “I waited patiently for The Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in The Lord. Happy are those who make The Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods. You have multiplied, O Lord my God, Your wondrous deeds and Your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of [these wondrous deeds], they would be more than can be counted.” Psalm 40:1-5 NRSV The Promise proclaimed throughout the Scriptures
is clear: The Lord will reach out to and touch all who stop, come to their senses, and turn toward The Lord. Though we often allow ourselves to become so busy with daily living to the point that we go days without even thinking of Him, He nevertheless is faithful and thinks only of us – His beloved Creation! Notice how easily we can get caught up in the “miry bog” or feel trapped in the “desolate pit” when we only think of things we do not have. Yet when we stop to consider the whole of the Scriptures and the countless stories of redemption when The Lord saved His people – especially those who had gone “astray after false gods” – there is nothing to find but peace and contentment. We don’t worry so much about what we do not

have, and spend much more time taking stock of all we really do have. Don’t let the day drag you down, and don’t allow the news to convince you we live in a hopeless world. Find the “patience” within and realize The Lord works in His own time, not ours, and always for the Greater Good; but know this: The Lord will come always to those who cry out to Him, to those who finally realize the profound spiritual need and longing we all have. The Promise is sure, and the Promise is ours! Blessings, Michael
Preach the Word By Pastor Steve Ellison
By Tom Smith Holiness. Such a small word, but what an important, essential part of a life that’s pleasing to God. In fact, the anonymous author of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the Bible’s New Testament wrote, “Pursue peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see God” (Heb. 12:14). And, when you couple it with the Old Testament passages of Leviticus 11:44, 19:2 and 20:7—which basically say “Be holy, because I Am holy”—you realize it’s a command, not a choice. The basic meaning of “holy” in both Testaments is “set apart, consecrated, sacred, etc.” From the New Testament root “hagios” also come the words “saint” and “sanctification.” Thus, it’s more than the dedication of “something” for use in worship or service; it also describes “someone” who is surrendered to God for His use (II Timothy 2:21). That’s why this past weekend’s release of the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey”—based on the erotic romance novel trilogy in 2011-12 by British author E.L. James—should be a wake-up call for us all. James’ books sold over 100 million copies and were on some public schools’ reading lists for students. But, dear Reader, based on what I’ve read about the books and reviews of the movie, any of us who profess to be a follower of Jesus Christ should not read them or go to the movie. In fact, some have labeled them “mommy porn” since females are their apparent target group. As I understand it, the main female character in the books/movie is named Anastasia Steele, a shy college student who falls hard for a dashing CEO named Christian Grey. After interviewing him for her school newspaper, she falls in love with him and he lavishes her with luxurious gifts, helicopter rides, life with him in his Seattle penthouse, etc.—all in exchange for his ability to “own” and “dominate” her psychologically and sexually. It’s no wonder that women’s groups and mental health experts are denouncing the books and movie—for they seemingly endorse physical, emotional and sexual abuse through the CEO’s use of whips, chains, handcuffs, etc. But, none of those groups

look at them for what they really are: mainstream porn. The word “pornography” comes from the Greek word “porneia,” from which we also get the word “fornication.” It’s basically any illicit sexual impulse or act; thus, it covers a whole gamut of sexual sins that titillate our passions, tempting us to sample the “forbidden fruit” sexually. And, sadly, in the process, this causes us to lose our built-in, God-given inhibitions and shame over sin. Soon, a rationalization of such behavior sets in, desensitizing us to the seriousness of such sins, which leads to a calcifying of the conscience. That’s why we must always be on guard against the “lusts of the flesh, eyes and pride of life” (I John 2:16). The evil one knows our weaknesses in these areas and continually allures us to “take a nibble” even though we inwardly know it’s wrong. Even a cursory reading of the Bible reveals what can happen during an unguarded moment (e.g., Judah and Tamar, David and Bathsheba) or a toying with sin (e.g., Samson and Delilah, Solomon and his 700 wives and 300 concubines). Truly, by giving in to such temptations the devil leads us astray and soon sets up housekeeping in the heart. Therefore, it’s imperative that anyone who professes to be a Christian refuses to read those novels or go to the movie. Not only will they ruin your witness, they’ll also open a door that very possibly will later lead to heartache and regrets (James 1:13-15). They’ll also directly and adversely affect your relationship with God and others. In God’s sight there are no “shades of grey” when it comes to sin; it’s all black-and-white. May He help us to live lives of holiness in all we think, say and do. Only then can we truly know Him and have a cleansed conscience that enables us to serve Him without guilt or shame (Heb. 9:14). Only then. God bless you. (NOTE: If you’d like to contact Bro. Tom or receive his daily e-mail devotional, entitled “Morning Manna,” you can write him at P.O.

Second Timothy is a very personal letter from Paul, who at the end of his life, wrote to his young disciple Timothy. Paul gave one last bit of advice and encouragement to Timothy (and all pastors) before he passed from this life. Paul was a prisoner of Rome at the time, which makes this letter all the more poignant. Paul closed the letter with some personal tidbits, salutations, etc. Just previous to that closing, Paul gave the last set of Biblical instructions that he would ever give. “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. (2 Timothy 4:1-6 NASU) Headings in the Bible are not divinely inspired. They are man-made additions, but they are usually helpful. The heading in my Bible above this passage is “Preach the Word”. Before he goes to his execution, Paul wants to be absolutely sure that Timothy knows what the primary function of the pastor is: Preach the Word. Everything else pales in comparison. There is only one way to be saved and that is by faith in Jesus Christ. God has chosen to reveal Jesus Christ in only one place: the Bible. God has charged the church with sharing the good news about salvation in Christ. One-on-one conversations are a significant part of that spreading of the gospel. However, Biblical preaching in the church is the centerpiece of the gospel presentation. There is more to the gospel than salvation. The gospel also addresses sanctification (being saved from the influence of sin over one’s life) which is why Paul tells Timothy to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” Church members need to be taught from the pulpit how one can come to know God personally and how to live a life that is pleasing to God. Teaching how to be justified in the sight of God (forgiven of our sins) and how to be sanctified are both worthy of valuable pulpit time. The pastor is to teach with great patience and instruction. This teaching is of supreme importance so it must be done with great repetition and great instruction. Paul and the Holy Spirit felt it necessary to include a warning in this passage. Congregations are to keep a watchful eye upon themselves because inevitably the temptation will arise to “not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.” Preaching the Word is necessarily offensive. By design, the intention is to confront sin and motivate to repentance. That is never a human’s first choice for entertainment and/ or comfort. Preaching is designed to help the hearer conform to the image of Christ. That is often quite painful. I implore you as preacher or lay person: heed the exhortation and warning found in this passage. God intends this passage for each of us. ……...pastorsteve8800@gmail.com

4-H Shooting Sports Reorganizing in Arkansas County 4-H Shooting Sports is one of the fastest growing programs in 4-H today. In addition to teaching youth concepts related to shooting safety and firearm responsibility, the curriculum offers opportunities for youth to develop important life skills such as citizenship, leadership, sportsmanship, ethics, critical thinking and an appreciation for nature. 4-H Shooting Sports is a community-based, volunteer-directed, family-oriented program that emphasizes handson learning. The Arkansas 4-H Shooting Sports Program is directed by certified instructors who are adult volunteers and County Extension Agents whose role is to supervise and train youth about firearms and/ or archery equipment. Instructor certification is offered through State and National 4-H Shooting Sports training programs. The 4-H Shooting Sports program strives to enable young people, their parents and adult volunteers to become responsible, self-directed and productive members of society. Agents, leaders, instructors and coaches must understand the goals and objectives of the program in order to manage and present it properly. These goals and objectives are consistent with
the goals and objectives of the 4-H program. The program transfers knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop human capital, using the subject matter and resources of the land-grant universities. The specific goals and objectives of the 4-H Shootings Sports program also include the following: To encourage participation in natural resources and related natural science programs by exposing participants to the content through shooting, hunting and related activities. To enhance development of selfconcept, character and personal growth through safe, educational and socially acceptable involvement in shooting activity. To teach safe and responsible use of firearms and archery equipment including sound decision-making, self-discipline, and concentration. To promote the highest standards of safety, sportsmanship and ethical behavior. To expose participants to the broad array of vocational and lifelong activities related to shooting sports. To strengthen families through the participation in life-long recreational activities. To complement and enhance the impact of existing safety, shooting
and hunter education programs using experiential educational methods and progressive development of skills and abilities. The Shooting Sports Program is open to all youth between the ages of 9 and 19 without regard to race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital or veteran status, genetic information, or any other legally protected status. Youth are not required to be a current 4-H member to participate, but must have completed the Hunter Education course before entering the program. The Arkansas 4-H Shooting Sports Program is modeled after the National 4-H Shooting Sports Program. It encompasses the instructional disciplines of archery, rifle, pistol, shotgun, black powder/ muzzle loader, compass and orienteering, hunting and wildlife. There are annual state and national competitions in all of these areas. To learn how to become a 4-H member or volunteer leader in Arkansas County, contact the Cooperative Extension Service at (870)946-3231 or (870)673-2346 or visit http://www.uaex.edu/ counties/arkansas.
Wilson Recognized for National School Counseling Week
The National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association, was celebrated February 2-6, 2015, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within the U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Lori Wilson, the DeWitt Elementary School Counselor, is one of many counselors recognized for their great benefits to our children on a daily basis. Lori not only pro-
vides individual and group guidance counseling, she is responsible for several life changing programs at DES. Lori started Watch Dog Dads, Dragon Moms, The Back Pack Program, The Dragon Den, and Lori also assists with The Dragon Running Club. The Watch Dog Dads Program is a way for dads to be involved in their child’s education and also encourages the mentor relationship. Dragon Moms is a way for moms to be involved at school as well, and in addition to listening to children read and learn skills, they assist with vision/hearing, flu shots, picture days, working with copiers/ laminators to help the teachers. The Back Pack Program is coor-
dinated by Lori to help students meeting criteria to get a backpack on Fridays filled with food and other necessities for the weekend. The Dragon Den is available to any student in need of school supplies, socks, shoes, undergarments and clothes. As DES celebrated the National School Counseling Week, they had special morning announcements, reminders sent to parents about the counseling services provided by Lori, and special treats were given out throughout the week for the students and staff. Lori is married to Barry Joe Wilson and has two sons, Koby and Braden.

Lauren’s Garden Makes Sure Kids Get a Valentine
Beatty Receives Scholarships Christopher Beatty has been selected as the recipient of a scholarship grant from the Arkansas Department of Health, EMS Trauma Division for the Spring Semester 2015 at UAM at McGehee. The trauma fund was made available by the 87th General Assembly in Act 393. This scholarship was established to train EMT and Paramedics in

UAM and Arkansas Americorps to Offer Scholarships for Fifth Year
Snack packs sent to Pattillo School
MONTICELLO, AR — Applications for the UAM-Arkansas Americorps Scholarship will be available beginning February 20 at the Office of Admissions at the University of Arkansas at Monticello and at the Americorps office at the Southeast Educational Service Cooperative in Monticello. UAM, in cooperation with Arkansas Americorps, will offer five $1,000 scholarships that may be renewable for additional terms, beginning with the

Beginner’s Crochet Workshop Valentine gifts delivered to DES
For most kids Valentine’s Day is the day they look forward to getting snack packs, flowers, balloons, etc., sent to school. Unfortunately, some parents are unable to send Valentine goodies due to financial reasons. That’s where Anthony and Jackie Johnson of Lauren’s Garden along with Jackie’s parents, Jack and Gail Fox, Debbie Bowlin, Junior Women’s League, and Kay Mitchell have stepped up to make a difference. Each year, they make sure every elementary child in DeWitt re-
ceives a Valentine’s gift. This tradition started after the group saw how sad kids became when not receiving anything on heart day. So, for the last 22 years, Anthony and Jackie have made around 200 snack packs and sent them to DeWitt Elementary School. This year the tradition was expanded and included snack packs for the children of Pattillo School. A total of 230 snack packs were delivered this past Valentines Day.
A Beginner’s Crochet workshop is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Lower White River Museum State Park in Des Arc, Arkansas. Think crochet is too complicated? Think again! Join us to learn basic crochet stitches and how to read beginner-level patterns. Leave with a started project, patterns, and the skills for so much more. Class size is limited. Registration is required. Please bring a sack
lunch or plan to visit a local restaurant. The Lower White River Museum State Park is one of 52 state parks administered by the State Parks Division of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. For more information contact Monica Smith at Lower White River Museum State Park, 2009 Main Street, Des Arc, AR 72040. Phone (870) 256-3711 Fax (870) 256-9202. Email: monica.f.smith@arkansas.gov

This is the second in a series of three performances sponsored by Stuttgart Rotary Club, which provides a ticket at no cost to the area school children. The Children’s Theatre on Tour invites you along on this classic adventure as the world’s most famous marionette runs away to discover the world.

Bielema Setting Blueprint for Developing Program Through Recruiting
By Robert Shields
Winning cures all ills in the college football world. It does with me, too. The current Razorback-football recruiting class looks good, and that would not have been possible without the team closing out the season in such a positive fashion by winning three of its last four including a big bowl win over archrival Texas. Razorback coach Bret Bielema has his own philosophy of building his teams from the line out. It’s a sound philosophy considering the game is mostly played in the trenches, especially in the SEC. In this class and previous recruiting classes, Bielema is trying hard to build a competitive offensive and defensive line. That philosophy is a stark contrast from the previous coach who started the team with his quarterback and then built around that lone player with great receivers and skill positions. Bielema brought a Big Ten philosophy with him to the Ozarks. It’s not a unique formula as Alabama found its guy in Michigan State’s Nick Saban, who had a momentary layover at LSU.
The Big Ten was about grind-it-out trench warfare football, and that idea combined with the better skill positions melds well with the SEC and results in victories. Where Bielema differs from Saban is the depth of recruiting in which he can field his team. With the winning legacy he has established in Tuscaloosa, Saban has been able to get about any player he desires. His only limiting factor is that he can only sign 25, and that is how the Razorbacks end up with such a great player from Alabama like a Darius Philon. Bielema has around 10 to 12 players a year from Arkansas who have the potential to play in the SEC. This leaves him about 15 deficient of filling his signing class each year. It’s also far from certain if Bielema can even get the top player each year in the state. Each year, Bielema has to fill in his class with about five players from Texas, five from Florida, and the other five from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana to be successful. The class this year pretty much followed that for-
mula. Given those facts, Bielema is not going to out-recruit his contemporaries in the conference or consistently have topfive recruiting classes. He also cannot afford many busts in his recruiting. He doesn’t have the luxury of missing this year and it being no big deal because he will just sign more four and five star recruits at the position next year. Instead, Bielema has to develop many three-star players into four and five star ability. Because of those parameters, Bielema has to vet players a lot more thoroughly than other coaches, especially on the social and academic spectrum. And he does just that. I don’t think the Program has ever had a coach that vets players to the depth that he does. Bielema wants players who are coachable and not drama queens like some past players and their parents. There is definitely a correlation between kids who have higher academic ability and are coachable. Just because a player has all the ability in the world does not mean that he is controllable and willing to learn from his coach. For some very
talented players, it takes time for them to realize they need to listen to their college coach -- and some never do. I think the type of player Bielema is recruiting is a type of player who wants to learn. They are the type of players who is in the classroom more than on Twitter, and the type of player who is going to spend the extra hours in the film room when it’s not required. They are the type of players that will not be distraction in the locker room or practice field. They will not be discipline problems or head cases. Bielema does not have time for those shenanigans and tomfooleries as he has his work cut out for him as it is. You can tell by the type of suspension Bielema has handed out, he has no tolerance for fools but will allow you a second chance if you deserve one. This is Bielema’s formula to beat you with his more developed and more disciplined players, and by the end of last season, we were all starting to see a glimpse of what that would look like.

COMMUNITY NEWS
City Council Does Not Pass Leaf Burning Ban By Terrye Seamon The long debate finally seems to be over, and citizens are still allowed to burn their leaves since the DeWitt City Council did not pass an ordinance banning it at their meeting Monday night. More citizens than usual attended the meeting knowing the Council was going to make a decision concerning the issue. Some of those in attendance along with some of the Council members wanted the city to take action and pass an ordinance against a ban. City Attorney T. Buie advised the Council that they did not need to take any action because citizens are already allowed to burn their leaves. “You would only vote if you were going to take some action to do something,” Buie said. The issue therefore died for lack of a motion. “It’s a situation that whatever we decide, not everybody is going to be happy,” Mayor Ralph Relyea said. He reported to the Council and those in attendance that he talked with Andrew Armstrong, the director of the Southeast Arkansas Solid Waste District. He said Armstrong pointed out how successful DeWitt’s recycling program has been without it being something residents are required by law to do. Relyea said Armstrong further suggested that leaf mulching would probably catch on in DeWitt just like recycling did once the city offers residents a leaf mulching service set up at the recycling center. A question was raised concerning the letter to the editor that was published in last week’s edition of the DeWitt EraEnterprise concerning a possible donation of $40,000 to purchase leaf disposal equipment. At last month’s city council meeting, the Godfrey Thomas Foundation had offered a donation of $24,000 for the purchase of a leaf vacuum contingent upon the Council passing a leaf burning ban by the end of February. The mayor clarified the discrepancy in the two amounts by saying, “After we did a study on it, the $24,000 machine was not going to be big enough. That’s why we were looking at the $40,000 piece of equipment.” “As long as the people will use common sense in their burning, then the problem will go away,” Relyea said. Other possible alternatives and rules to gov-
ern leaf burning were suggested, but the mayor said he didn’t want to put them in ordinance just yet. “We are not ready for that,” the mayor said. In another matter of old business, Mayor Relyea announced that the 2014 street paving project was 99.9 percent finished, and the final touches should be completed this week. The projected completion date was the end of December 2014. When asked if the company would have to pay a penalty for not finishing by deadline, the mayor said no because due to some minor problems along the way, three change orders had been filed to accommodate those glitches. “We ran into some drainage problems and had to add some pipes that we really had not planned on. We had to clean out some ditches to accommodate that,” he said. The mayor went on to say that they have already started looking at possible streets to be repaired and paved in 2015. He told the Council that the engineers are preparing a cost estimate for that project, and he should be able to present that to them at the March meeting. Mayor Relyea also said that he told the engineers he wanted the actual paving to begin in August next year, which would push the deadline for bid application and acceptance earlier than it has been in the past. Buie then briefed the Council on the Municipal League’s progress on the codification system of organizing the city’s ordinances. The system is being updated for convenience and ease of finding what they need. Eventually, Buie explained, the system can be put on the city’s website so people can access them electronically. In an area of new business, the city unanimously passed a motion to approve up to $60,000 to purchase a new brush truck for the fire department. “We have funds set aside from the state that are designated for fire-fighting equipment,” Mayor Relyea said. He further explained that these funds have accumulated over the past few years and now they have enough money to purchase a new truck. The truck will serve a three-fold purpose. It will serve as a brush truck, service truck, and a
rescue truck for the City of DeWitt. Director of Public Works Bill Paxton said this truck and the last fire truck and equipment were purchased the same way with state funds, and it has not cost the city anything. “The city of DeWitt is blessed to have these funds that can supply a department like we’ve got. You can ask any department, we are up with
any department in the state of Arkansas when it comes to our equipment,” Paxton said. During the financial report, the mayor reported that the total funds available were $82,651.79. “That’s down some from what we have been running, but all of the first of the year bills have been paid,” Mayor Relyea said.
Webb’s Sporting Goods Burglarized By Terrye Seamon Webb’s Sporting Goods, located at 1970 South Whitehead Drive, was broken into early Thursday morning. This was the business’s second break-in within six months. Bobby Webb and his wife, Alicia Webb, said they received a telephone call at 1:47 a.m. Thursday from the alarm company notifying them that there had been glass breakage at the building. “They [the suspects] came from around the side of the building over here from the bank side,” Bobby Webb said. “I got them on camera four different times.” According to the video footage of the break-in, the two suspects, who were wearing hoods, masks and gloves, entered the building after using what looked like a small crowbar to break the glass of the front door, Bobby Webb said. The suspects got away with a couple of guns valued at approximately $2,000, Bobby Webb said. He said that on camera it looked like they intended to burglarize the display case that holds jewelry and smaller handguns, but those items had been placed in a safe. The previous burglary involved four different suspects, two of whom the Webbs said have been caught. That robbery resulted in 13 guns being stolen valued at a total of $5,000. The Webbs said they think that this burglary may have been pre-planned. While reviewing the video surveillance, they noticed a couple of people who may have been scouting the place
the day of the burglary. “They had it all planned out,” Alicia Webb said. “One of them was going to get the pistols and the other had planned to come around [the counter].” When the police officer on duty, Jennifer Crossett, arrived on the scene, the suspects were already gone. One problem the Webbs have with the entire situation is the lack of manpower on the police force. Bobby Webb said, “We have got to have more police officers at night. We can’t have one officer at night on duty and not expect to have all these break-ins.” Since there is only one police officer on duty at night, Chief Police Jim Tucker and Officer Randy Bateman had to be called out to the scene. “I’m really agitated as a business owner and not so much for me losing $2000 in guns, but my kids go to school here,” Bobby Webb said. Concerning the stolen guns, Bobby Webb said, “If they fell in the wrong hands, it could be bad. We see it all the time on the news.” Although the Webbs have always had a no delay alarm system and a video surveillance system at the store, the very next day they took an extra precautionary measure by installing bars over a new front door. They plan to install bars over the windows as well. The case is still under investigation. “If we don’t have protection in our town, what do we have?” Bobby Webb said.
