2 2 P a g e The Bible stands in stark contrast to the legalization of euthanasia Biblically speaking, nobody may purposefully take the life of an innocent person, even if the innocent person asks to be killed (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 20:13; 1 John 3:15; 1 Peter 4:15; Revelation 21:8) This principle of charity protects those whose minds may be clouded by mental or physical issues, or by the pressure of families who want their inheritance or want them to cease being a burden Biblical morality keeps the weaker from being the prey of the stronger, whether in mind or body (Micah 6:8; Matthew 7:12; 1 Peter 3:7) The Dutch situation should serve as a stark warning: Once the sanctity of human life is compromised, there is no way to prevent even more disastrous consequences than legislators may have intended There is no way to implement euthanasia policies and avoid putting many people at dire risk God s way is right, and God s way will protect us (eg, Galatians 6: Caleb Those to Remember in Our Prayers PRAYER REQUEST Elizabeth Grimes brother, Bill Slaughter, has been diagnosed to be in the beginning stages of kidney failure Burt Baggott, a former member, fell Tuesday and had surgery on Wednesday for a fractured hip For cards, their address is 421 Haywood Ct N, Nashville, TN SYMPATHY The arrangements for Faith Watts, who passed away on Sunday, Feb 14, are as follows: Saturday, March 12 Carmichael Funeral Home 1130 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta Visitation, 1 to 3 pm Memorial Service, 3 pm Our sincerest sympathy is extended to Faith s family THANK YOU Our greatest thanks to the following men and women who served in a teaching role during our winter quarter children s Bible classes; Josh & Rebekah Conley, Scott & Carla Drumm, Jody Harwell, Kathleen Ingerson, Stephen & Griselda Lipscomb, Russell & Cyndi Pigg, Marty & Bridget Ray, Shannon Rolen, Daniel & Ashley Sequens, and Yvonne & Juanita Villani Our Macland Road children were blessed by your willingness to teach See this morning s power point announcements for pictures of these classes TRAVELERS: Joe and Robin Roquemore will be traveling to Mexico from March 3 rd to the 7 th of March Bill and Joan Bandy will be visiting family in New Jersey They willl leave on March 12 th and return on March 18 th NURSERY MEMBERS: Larry Grimes, Sr; Beth Sa idd;; Kak Grayson; Red Holt, Martha Maxwell, Ed Villani LOVED ONES: Pascha Burge, Consuela Trammell s sister; Brystol Haynes 3 year old relative of Jon Shultz fiancé, Catie Williams; Jim Comer, Laddis Comer s brother; Larry Grimes II, Larry and Elizabeth Grimes son; Paul Maner s mother, Noni Maner and his sister, Brenda Maner; Nikki Fennel, Scott Drumm s sister; Michael Werchowski, Dot Evans great-grandson; and family and friends in the military The nursery is being updated, and some things are going to be removed If you have any personal items in the nursery, will you please let Rebekah Conley know?
