Who stands fast [and is able to withstand evil]? Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom, his virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God – the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God. Where are these responsible people?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
“After Ten Years: A Reckoning made at New Year 1943”
in Letters and Papers from Prison, Eberhard Bethge, ed.
(New York: The Macmillan Company, 1971), 5.

PRAYER REQUESTS & BOX
The Daughters of the King support your prayer needs and wishes. Each Sunday a prayer team will be available to pray with you after the Worship Service in the choir area after the 10:30 service. If you would like additional information, please see a DOK member.
They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily. All prayers are confidential. Each person is prayed for one month. If you wish for continued prayers, please complete another request card or contact a Daughter.
You may call the church office (903-455-5030) and specify it is for the DOK intercessory prayer list. You can hand the card to a Daughter (she is always wearing her cross).

You want sports analogies for God? Here’s one. Actually, it’s not even an analogy, it’s just a fact. God is the umpire in the game of life. You want to know if a play was fair or foul, if a ball was a strike? Ask God.---
We don’t have a game without rules, and rules are all about drawing lines between right and wrong, in or out, fair or foul. Of course, just following rules doesn’t make you a good player. There’s more to a game than its rules! But rules establish the boundaries of a game; they give it its shape. Rules are necessary.
Therefore, umpires are necessary. There has to be an authority who says what has just happened. “It was a strike” is an interpretation of what has just happened between pitcher and batter and catcher. We need umpires just so the game can go on. We need good umpires so that we have a general sense that the game is being fair.
