Religion Briefs 1031Dogwood women to host banquet Friday Sally Oakes: Lessons in the stewDid you ever agree to do something before you realized how hard it would be? This is one of those times for me. During a planning meeting for our upcoming (Sat, Nov. 3) Perlieu Stew, one of the planners asked me to mention it in my column. I said, “Sure!” Now, as I sit to write the column, which is to be a religious column that I pray inspires people and draws them closer to Christ, I’m wondering how to make Perlieu Stew inspiring for the sake of the Gospel. Other than being a fund raiser for the Christian mission, there’s not too much about it that could qualify as “religious.” SFM aids Katrina-stricken area with Pass Christian Mega BuildSquare Foot Ministry in Fayetteville took a group of over 300 volunteers to Pass Christian, Miss., Oct. 10 - 14.

Dayne Massey: Does God want me healed?The subject of healing in the Bible is one that many have quarreled over for centuries. It’s always amazed me how people will fight and argue to stay sick. Many of the questions and arguments have arisen as a result of people failing to receive healing from God. If God wanted people healed, wouldn’t He just heal them? If it were God’s will to heal everyone, then why do good Christian people die of sickness? Doesn’t God sometimes use sickness to get our attention and teach us valuable lessons? One thing is for sure, there are answers to all of these questions, and the answer is always found in the Word of God.
