Spiritual Matters
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Church
We are physical beings. That is certainly an obvious statement, but ponder it with me for a moment. Our five senses help us comprehend the world around us. We observe the difference between sandpaper and silk by touching it. We see with our eyes all the beauty and variety in the flowers and trees around us. We understand the difference between the sound of a train and the song of a bird by hearing. And everyday as my wife makes her way to the kitchen, our home fills with the most wonderful of smells, which is soon followed by a smile spreading across my face as I taste her wonderful culinary creations. I am so thankful my wife’s favorite pastime is cooking!

A Pulpit in Need of Repair, Part 3
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
Over the last two weeks, we have considered how the Apostle Paul sought to repair a wayward pulpit at Corinth. The content of preaching should always be centered around Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The method of preaching should be defined by one word – proclamation. A simple and clear method that does not seek to entertain, but rather instruct and exhort. This week, let’s consider how Paul instructs the heart of the preacher.
Bait Size Matters
by Mike Gerry
As winter slowly moves on it is a time of year where size matters; at no time during the fishing year is the size of your bait more important than now! If your wanting to catch big quality bass, fish with big baits, like 7 inch swim baits, ¾ oz. jigs with large trailers that give the jig a bulky look; even ¾ to 1 oz. spinner baits with large willow leaf blades will produce that big bite.
