Did you know? Replacing the old Plainwell House, the Union Block was completed in August of 1891. H. L. Bliss, the Shoe Man, purchased the 3rd lot, the one farthest north, in this new building, for his new storefront. Later that month, after completing the finishing touches on the interior, Mr. Bliss moved his shoe business into this space. This building has been several businesses since but now houses Dancing Dogs Quilt Shop.

Words of
Faith &Hope
“WE CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS”
“Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ be ‘No’” – Matthew 5:37
• When it comes to belief, we cannot have it both ways. “And this is the record, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that has the Son has eternal life; and he who has not the Son of God, has not life.” (I John 5:11, 12) • When it comes to the Bible, we cannot have it both ways. The Bible speaks of good and evil; light and darkness; sin and righteousness; truth or a lie; life and death; sheep and goats; heaven and hell; law and grace; love and hate; wise and foolish. • When it comes to Christ-like living, we cannot have it both ways. Believers are called to a higher moral standard. We are called to live IN the world without being OF the world (John l7:14-16). We are to “walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). We are commanded to not allow the world to squeeze us into its mold (Romans 12:2). Each day is a day of decision. Either we can walk the narrow way which leads to eternal life or the wide way which leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13, 14). Jesus said we are either for Him or against Him (John 12:30). With Jesus Christ there is no middle ground. “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). “Straddle two horses and fall in the mud” (Russian proverb) Grey is the color of compromise. When it comes to belief in Jesus Christ, we can’t have it both ways. Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to decide for you every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.
