The reason above all other reasons that makes Baxley great is the people
Dear Editor,
In the most recent issue of The News-Banner you asked for people to let you know what is needed in Baxley. This question was very intriguing as I feel I have a unique perspective on the question. [Full Story »]

Where is the key?
Dear Editor,
From time to time in all our lives we have lost something. Even in our homes and could not find it for hours. We look for items lost. Cannot find it or them, because of short memory. From time to time this seems to happen quite often.
We often ask the question where are or has anyone or have you seen my keys? [Full Story »]

Writer expresses gratitude for honest person
Dear Editor,
In a time where society is full of all kinds of dishonesty, you do find persons that are totally honest and who are Christians. Not only in talk but action. This is very up lifting. [Full Story »]

Reach out
Dear Editor,
Will you give thanks to God and for someone else this Thanksgiving Season? Will you pray that others be blessed? Will you visit or make a phone call to someone that’s homebound on Thanksgiving or during the holiday season? Will you feed or share your food with some hungry person? Have you considered someone who is less fortunate than you are? Will you lend a helping hand to someone in an act of love with a caring spirit? For kindness cannot be bought. Will you give thanks to God for life, health and strength, food on the table, shelter and clothing? He made it possible for all of us. [Full Story »]

Veterans Day remembered
Dear Editor,
This past Tuesday at the Appling County Courthouse I was honored and humbled to be a part of the Veterans Day ceremony. This ceremony was held on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. This year the gathering included more citizens than had been there in the past several years. This warmed my heart because those members of the “Greatest Generation” are leaving us at too fast a pace. And as a country, state, county and city we need to never forget their sacrifices and never quit showing our gratitude for what they did for us. Not only the veterans of World War II but all of the veterans of all of the wars and conflicts in which our country has been involved. As I stood there looking over the faces of the crowd my thoughts raced back to my school years. During those days I played in the band both in elementary and high school. Every Veterans Day we would march in the parade that commemorated the service of our veterans. There would be bands, floats, military contingents and last but surely not the least would be the veterans who march in the parade. Some with their military uniforms some with their VFW uniforms some with their American Legion uniforms, all being honored by our citizenry. The schools would turn out and all the students along with the other citizens of the county would line the streets all throughout the parade and waved American flags and cheered the veterans as they went by. The parade would terminate at the city gymnasium where there would be a gigantic barbecue complete with dignitaries. All this was done to honor our veterans. [Full Story »]

A challenge…
Dear Editor,
I will listen to what God has to say, for He will speak peace to his people, to His saints, (Those who are in right standing with him) but let them not turn again to [self-confident] folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who reverently and worshipfully fear him (and is ready to be appropriated) that the manifest presence of God, His glorious tabernacle may abide in our land. Mercy and loving kindness and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring up from the earth. Righteousness shall look down from Heaven. Yes, the Lord will give what is good. And our land will yield its increase. Righteousness shall go before Him and shall make His foot step a way in which to walk.

Believe it or not
We must remember we are not God. We want to control the universe in our own way of doing things. Everything manmade or invented is temporary it will fade away, rot or rust, but God’s creation will stand forever. One way or another we have to use what He created.

Youth and schools are in great need of prayer and God’s guidance
Dear Editor,
The twenty-first century churches, Christians, youth and schools need God’s guidance and our attentive prayers for we live in a world that is rebellious against God and God’s people and is drenched with sin. As Christians it seems as if good manners have flown out the window and anything goes. As Christians, we need to be reminded of our responsibilities to God to influence others. Still strong and echoing through the guiding of God is good manners. [Full Story »]

Who am I?
Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Who am I?” or “Whose I am?” Christians know that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and we are children of our Heavenly Father. We know that we have been washed in the blood of the Lamb and adopted into the family of God. Someone has said, “We are somebody because God don’t make junk.” We are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Found in Romans 12:1-2; it says, by the mercies of God, that we present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed of this world, but that we be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
