Page A-6 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, March 8, 2017 Poets’ Portion bear speaks by Michael Spring my body will surge forward all earth-tones roiling towards black and void and fringed with sylvan light when you need me I’ll rush toward you the way a mountain would all grace in tumble, rumbling like a newly formed planet my head made up of a thousand other heads my eyes filled with the light of star (a star made up of a thousand other stars) I’ll leap from constellation into you I’ll take you into the heart of the mountain Church News Seventh-day Adventist Church How the Depression Recovery Program helped me A dear lady came to class in tears and said, “I have been using prescription medicine for depression and anxiety over 10 years. Dr. Nedley’s Depression Recovery Program gave me many new tools to combat depression. Things that had never been suggested by the many health care professionals I have con- sulted. “Besides the visual lectures given by the doctor, his textbook and workbook were help- ful to me. “A little shy at first I began to think of the weekly class as enjoyable. The atmosphere throughout the program was friendly, support- ive and upbeat. I met new people and formed meaningful friendships. I feel I gained a great deal from this program. I am more optimistic and less depressed. My diet has improved and I am more active and have lost weight. I have learned to enjoy sharing ideas and friendships at class. I am healthier and happier because of this seminar.” The second experience is written by a professional man going through a very painful experience: “Divorce is hard and it’s depressing! I didn’t handle it well, and attempted to drown my depression in wine. Soon I was drinking two bottles a day. Stumbling through town, I came to a notice on the Shop Smart bul- letin board. It read ‘Depression.’ “Why, yes,” I thought to myself. In shaky handwriting I wrote down the time and place of the meet- ing. The next day I summoned the courage to attend. The seminar I signed up for turned the down spiraling trajectory of my life around; the Nedley program of healthy diet and an easy regime of exercise to improve the biological working of mind. “Also, I discovered mental exercises that focus my attention away from the negative and toward positive thoughts. A support group that guided me away from alcohol and forward to a better future. The program led me to the hap- pier life I live today. Do it!” If you or someone you care about have symptoms of depression, you are not alone. Help is on the way. It is not too late to find help and healing. Call Kathy at 541-291-7016 to save your place in this class and take your life back at the Depression and Anxiety Recov- ery Program. (This eight-week program starts Monday, March 13 at 5:30.) Community Bible Church The Gospel Romans 1:16 (NKJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Gospel, is it just another one of those unusual “Bible” words or does it have a real significance in our day? The word gospel comes from the Greek word “euangellion”. The Greek prefix “eu” translates to English as good, and “angellion” translates as message or messenger. This came into our Anglo- Saxon language as “god-spel” with the meaning “God-Story”. Ultimately the word “gospel” means good message or good news. The Bible uses the word “gospel” many times and the first four books of the New Testament have come to be known as the Gospels, and they are truly good news. Our verse above declares it well, “the gospel of Christ – is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” The 15th chapter of the book of I Corinthians in the Bible begins like this (I Corinthi- ans 15:1-2 – NIV): “Now brothers I want to remind you of the gospel which I preached to you, which you received, and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise you have believed in vain.” In the next verse in this passage (15:3a), Paul clearly defines that good news, that gospel. “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scripture,” Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sin. He was buried and put in a tomb as proof of death, but He rose from the dead to show He had conquered death – and it was for everyone who in repentance believes. It is truly good news – to know that we can have an eternal relationship with God by faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Have you trusted Jesus for your eternal salvation? See you Sunday.
