Marian Bordley, A Dedicated Sunday School Teacher
Marian Bordley joined Morning Star Baptist Church over
sixty years ago under the pastorate of Reverend Garnett. Her involvement with
teaching at the Star commenced when one day Mrs. Hurley asked her if she could
hold a class for her. "I answered I think so and I have been holding a class
ever since." Marian loves the Sunday school and teaching the 'little ones'. Her
teaching career did not end with her retirement, as we can see.

New Year, New Things
Wow, 2012 is already here!!! Just think about it, just
yesterday the ball dropped to the dawning of 2011 and now we are at it again.
But, in this New Year let's commit ourselves to do NEW THINGS. In Matthew 9:17,
Jesus teaches a quick lesson about how to deal with new things. He tells us that
you can't put "new wine in old bottles." Therefore, I challenge you in this New
Year to please do something different. Let us not do the same things we have
been doing in years prior. But, let us increase our commitment to our God, our
fellow man, and our church.
The Armor of God: The Shield of Faith
-
"Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. " Ephesians
6:16
The Roman shield was about 4 ft. high and about 2
1/2 feet wide. It was typically made as a curved laminate of three layers of
wood strips and covered with leather. The edges were bound with rawhide
stitched through the wood (or sometimes bronze binding was used).
The shield was the maneuverable part of the
warrior's armor. It was designed to protect him from arrows and javelins,
flaming and otherwise. If the shield had any holes or damage, survival would
depend upon fixing it before entering the battle-certainly not during! The
diligent warrior would direct his energies to its repair as part of his
pre-engagement preparations.
How does one exercise diligence with respect to his
"shield of faith?" Are there any "holes" in your shield of faith? When is the
proper time to repair it? You are already on enemy turf!
