Much of the road is now repaired, but spots like this are still common. Officials claim the road isn’t used much, but residents say different. Whatever the case, there’s certainly no room for cars to pass each other at spots like the one pictured above.

While yet sinners Of course it is often true that our lives are shaped for both good and evil by our morality and that righteousness and unrighteouaiess have their own rewards. It is also true that we are more likdy to be accepted, liked, and loved when we are acceptable, likable, and lovable. At the same time, however, the trman, “If you’re g00d...” has some limitations and unfortunate consequences. As parents, for example, we often convey to our children the idea that our love is con ditional upon their behaviour, that we will not love than - or at least as much - when they have done something wrong or failed in some way. duct our friendships on this level: we will like people or even love them so long as their conduct meets our approval. In a sense our friendship is earned by their friendly behaviour towards us, and vice versa. Little wonder then that people have a hard time understanding the love of God and the demands it makes upon us. Many people have difficulty in believing that God really loves them because they do not see themselves as worthy of his love. In this they are both right and wrong: right in that they are not worthy of his love (this, as Paul discovered, is why legalism fails), but wrong in that they assume that God’s love is conditional on our moral worth! Christ died for us Paul puts it simply, saying that while “one win hardly die for a righteous man...” nevertheless, “God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ diedfor us” (Romans 5:7,8). then became governor. For the past two years he has been campaigning solidly for the Presidency. Fm won dering when Mr. Carter had time to be a farmer! My husband is a fanner who works long hours to make a decent living. If Jimmy Carter is a true farmer, and he has done all the things listed above, exactly when did he ever devote time to farming? I really feel farmers are misguided if they think Jimmy Carter is one of them.

Tuesday, Oct 12 Agricultural Outlook God did not wait for us to become more righteous, let alone worthy, but he made the great sacrifice of his Son Jesus even while we were most unrighteous. Man’s salvation, his restored relationship with God, his reconciliation is at tributable, not to his own worth, but God’s. It is a gift grace-and the only “good” thing a person can do is to accept thatgift by a trusting faith. Yes, God wants us to be good, to live up to the best he has placed within us, but his love is not conditional upon that. He loves us as we are so that we may become better than we are. So, how much are you worth in God’s sight? The cross is the symbol of his eternal answer to that question. RURAL ROUTE AND OVER HERE THE headlines CONCERN AFBF ANP APA * NOW IS THE TIME...
