Welcome back, friends of Olney. The year was 1886, and Olney was starting to become more secure spiritually. Reverend Johannes Bartes of Clifton, Texas, traveled to Olney to hold a baptism and religious service for area residents, which was the beginning of the St. Lutheran Church of Olney, Texas. St. Lutheran is still Sheppard’s follower to this day. Shown is the St. Lutherans Church of Olney.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans form a new camp in Young County. The L.P. ”Pink” Brooks camp was officially formed and welcomed to Young County Saturday at Fort Belknap.
Christian soldier, let us not for one moment remove our helmet, unsheathe our sword, or remove the belt that holds our weapons of warfare. The scriptures tell us, “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” This combat is real, it is never ending, and it is a war that rages within the mind of the one who is being saved. Apollyon, also known as Satan, the one who deceived Adam, has sent all humanity spiraling into corruption by a great deception and he seeks to destroy you. Though He cannot remove the saving grace that has been granted to you by God Himself, he seeks to silence your message. He longs to render your testimony invalid to those whom you might influence to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ by causing you to stumble into the wicked temptations that you fight against daily.
