PASTOR’S CORNER, Pastor Phillip Dow, New Beginnings Church, Liberal

A few weeks ago, I found myself on a long drive from Eastern Oklahoma to Liberal after about 40 hours of travel from an overseas trip to Africa. I was tired. Actually, to be brutally honest, I was mentally and physically exhausted. I pulled over at a gas station and grabbed some caffeine, a quick snack, and jumped back in my truck for the final two hours of my trip. I rolled down my window as I turned onto Highway 412, turned up my podcast, and about that time, my phone began to ring. I answered it because it was a 620 number and assumed it was probably someone calling to talk as I drove.

The beginning of our town we live in started when a Liberal man named Seymour Rogers gave his water away for free over 100 years ago.  He hand dug a water well 88 feet deep before he struck water.  In 1885, water was a precious commodity and water was quite expensive!  When Rogers was asked how much do we owe you, he replied, "The water is free here.” People were surprised to hear his answer and they said, “That is mighty ‘liberal’ of you.

PASTOR’S CORNER, Eydie Petty, Faith Tabernacle Church, Liberal

As I thought about this week's Pastors Corner, which I was asked to do for the month of October, I decided I would submit my article written by my wife Eydie. The greatest asset to a Pastor is the blessing of his wife who gives terrific ideas with wise counsel so I am submitting this excellent article written by my wife, Eydie Petty!

One day a staunch Republican was asked whether he would vote for God if he ran on the Democratic ticket. He replied he would not ever have to worry about that because God would never run as a Democrat. Abraham Lincoln once said that we should never claim that God is on our side, instead we must ask ourselves whether we are on God's side.
