Jimmy Humphrey, 37, the father whose family was profiled in the Dec. 6 edition of The Tennessean has been missing since Monday after failing to return to Nashville Safe Haven Family Shelter where he, his wife, Laura, and their children live, police spokesman Don Aaron said.

The first giant step for Catalano and company came with the taping of Metro Nashville Schools No Child Left Behind.

Catalano plans to start with two productions per quarter, with other programming coming from his film industry contacts (he was executive director of the Nashville Film Festival and remains on that board) and from the deep creative talent pool. also plan on having a multicultural newscast every day from he said.

Tuesday, Middle TN State Cemetery. BOYD FH, (615) 792-4677 Death Notices Meditations on the Communion Historically, the churches of Christ have actively promoted strict adherence to the New Testament pattern for salvation, worship and moral living (Hebrews John Based on the biblical principles of Rev. these cautious Christians rallied around the once-popular slogan, where the Bible speaks; be silent where the Bible is Many still favor this motto, but an increasing number of disciples are moving away from that approach to the Scriptures and are beginning to blend in to the denominational landscape. The more recent way of thinking places a premium on the more secular concepts of convenience, comfort and creativity. This paradigm shift in religious values from a God-centered emphasis to a man-centered emphasis seems to grow more pronounced with every generation.

The observance of the Supper is a case in point. Christians have observed the communion for nearly twenty centuries. For almost nineteen of these, Christians in one assembly shared the same loaf and same cup. This was not a haphazard or arbitrary custom, but an act of worship carried out as a religious obligation with the intent of glorifying God and exalting Jesus Christ. Today, the idea of sharing the same loaf and the same cup repulses some Christians.

Often Bible believers are unaware that the word means and, are also unaware that for centuries communing with one loaf and one cup was the rule, not the exception. As a result, some dismiss of observing the Supper with one loaf and one cup as and It is interesting that Paul warns of (I Cor. 11:30) while declaring the seriousness of observing the Supper. His admonition had nothing to do with physical ailments contracted from observing the Supper, but was a warning against self-inflicted spiritual illness from the bread or drinking the cup of the Lord in an unworthy Jesus was acquainted with germs when He instituted the Supper. The booklet Sanitation in Communion by Dr.

James D. Orten and Alton B. Bailey presents a series of scientific studies that demonstrate that fear of disease transmission through the common communion cup is unwarranted. Reviewed by seven medical doctors, this booklet cites evidence from the U. S.

Center for Disease Control, the Journal of the American Medical Association, the University of Chicago, the Central Public Health Laboratory in London, the Canadian Bureau of Microbial Hazards and the Medical Research Council. These studies place the views of opinionated theologians and columnists in proper perspective.
