In Deuteronomy 5:12-14, Moses commands the Israelites to: “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work.”

College students ‘Focus’ on sharing gospel

ARLINGTON—More than 2,000 Texas Baptist college students prepared for the school year by taking a hard look at the needs of the world around them.
“The story of Jesus Christ — it’s the story of all stories,” Mike Stroope of Baylor University’s Truett Theological Seminary told the crowd at Focus, sponsored by the Baptist General Convention of Texas. “His story pursues us; it transforms us. We need to listen to his story, and turn other stories down.”
See a slideshow of photos from Focus here. Campus groups gathered to pray for students at their respective schools during Focus. (Photos by Eric Guel) 09/21/2007 - By John Rutledge

Church offers motorists bargain gas and full service

SCHULENBURG—Not too many people have experienced blessings at the gas pump lately, but residents of Schulenburg did recently, thanks to First Baptist Church.
For a couple of hours on a Saturday, the church pumped gas and washed the car windows of patrons of Alfie’s Food Mart & Shell Station, all the while subsidizing the price of gas by 50 cents a gallon. So, the bargain rate for gasoline was $2.19 a gallon rather than the $2.69 that had been posted.
Volunteers from First Baptist Church in Schulenburg washed windows and pumped 1,758 gallons of cut-rate gasoline for local motorists as a good-will gesture to their community—and as a way to earn a hearing for a gospel witness. 09/21/2007 - By John Rutledge
