“Where’s God? Why doesn’t He do something? If He is so great and powerful and in control, then why is the world in such a mess? Why do such bad things happen to good people?” We’ve all heard these questions over the years. The truth is that God has done something about the fallen nature of man and the evil in this ungodly world. God sent His Son Jesus Christ two thousand years ago to die on that cross for us. Because of Jesus, all who surrender to Him can become a new creature, (2 Cor. 5:17). Becoming a true Christian, changes our nature, (2 Pet. 1:3-4). A Christian is far more than simply a ‘reformed’ person who must try harder to be a better person. The problem we face today is not the sin that separates us from God, Jesus dealt with the sin problem and all who come to Christ can be forgiven. We have the very love of God deposited within us and the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, etc. The problem in this sinful world are those who refuse to admit their evil,- and their need for a Savior. They have no fear of God and commit all manner of evil. Christians are to do all we can to bring the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to these people, in hopes of winning them to Jesus. Imagine how wonderful our communities could be if all its citizens loved God and obeyed His Word; --those who walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Love would prevail rather than all the hate and anger we see today. Will you be a witness for Jesus? God bless.

It’s a Puzzle Smiling, I dove in the direction of my daughter. “Hey, look what they were giving out at church! It’s a piece of a jig-saw puzzle with a little pin attached! You are supposed to give these out and tell others what an important piece of the puzzle they are in life! I got a pile of em! Isn’t this a great idea? Want some?” She, puzzled about this style of connecting, was not impressed.

The city of Slayton has humbly accepted the resignations of three long-time firefighters for our community: Dean Ackerman served 33 years, Mike Loosbrock served 27 years, and Neil Forsberg served 25 years. The trio complete their commitment this month, reflecting on many years of training and experiences that shaped their lives.

The MCC Rebels played their first game since December 17th on Monday night. The Rebels played a makeup game with Windom Area a game that was scheduled for Friday, December 10th but was postponed because of snow. The Rebels played without their top scorer on the season Emily Rohrer and the lack of punch on the low post hurt the Rebels but turnovers would cost the Rebels another game.

The MCC Rebels played their second game of the new year Tuesday night in Pipestone. The Rebels have been struggling with turnovers and shooting all season long but going to Pipestone they were facing a team who like the Rebels would be missing their leading scorer on the season. MCC was without their top scorer on the season as well but the size wasn’t going to play a big factor in the game as both teams were without their top low post players. MCC would play a tough game at their best in some time but it wouldn’t be enough.
