The O'Neal Times

Scripture of the Day : Mathew 28:19 "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit" Getting the Point: Baptism is a requirement. It in itself  dose not guarantee salvation. All it is is an outward show of faith. That is why I can't understand baptizing an infant. It dose not make any sense. Each individual must come to have faith and then dedicate their life to God in prayer in private and then with the symbol of water immersion. He wants us to choose to serve him freely. When you get baptized you are more than hoping to have  your sins washed clean as some might think. You are going under as you were and making a vow to come up as a child of God and living no longer for yourself but for him. It's a symbol of believing in Christ and dedicating your life to fulfill the words in today's text. You might not physically baptize someone but your changed  conduct might e...

The O'Neal Times October 3, 2019 _______________________________ Scripture of the Day:                Mathew 5:3.      “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them. Cross-refrences : Luke 6:20-"And he looked up at his disciples and began to say: “Happy are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God." Getting the Point: What was the difference between Christ's disciples and the rest of the world? It was not that they were poor. However their lot in life made them aware that there had to be something better. They saw the need to listen to and follow Christ. They had a spiritual need.  There were supposedly many religious leaders in Jesus day. They were able to read the scriptures and they should have been awaiting for the Messiah and yet when he came he came in such a way that they were not impressed.  They were s...

The O'Neal Times Wyoming County West Virginia October 1, 2019 Edition Agenda : Looking for "O'Neal" October life events that took place in the past. ______________________________ Deaths :                 Record of  Death Lucinda Oneal Age: 1 year 7 months Residence: Wyoming County, West Virginia Cause : dysentery Burial: Cemetery: _______________________________ Letter From the Editor: Dear Readers, It's funny how you can find a record that tells you some information but withholds other. In today's record of the day it clearly shows who died, when and where. However it failed to highlight the why? When you pull up the actual record it's there. Lucinda Oneal "O'Neal" died of dysentery but on the actual record of death in the file it doesn't tell you that.  Also, what frustrated me was the fact that there was no mention of where she was buried. Information it did hold which I was great ful for however was whom her parents were Daniel and...

The O'Neal Times "A Family Newsletter" _________________________ September 30, 2019 Scripture of the Day Psalms 15:3  "He does not slander with his tongue, He does nothing bad to his neighbor, And he does not defame his friends." Cross-references: Leviticus 19:16, Psalms 101:5, Proverbs 20:19 Proverbs 14:21, Romans 12:17 Exodus 23:1 Getting the Point: Everyone has a  moment in life where they wish they would have just kept their mouth shut.  Today's scripture of the day reminds us that the tongue can cause a lot of harm and that Jehovah God hates someone who lies and or even the person who listens to or spreads gossip.

The O'Neal Times Wyoming County West Virginia September 9, 2019 _________________________ Scripture of the Day: Isaiah 40:26 “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing." Cross-references: Psalms 102:25 "Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth, And the heavens are the work of your hands." Psalms 147:4 "He counts the number of the stars; He calls all of them by name" Getting the Point: Some people believe that there is no God and yet every house was built by someone it's unreasonable to think something so complex as the universe could be created by a big bang or just evolve. There is a creator! If he knows the name and number of the stars then it should not be hard to imagine that he also knows each of us by name and that he cares about you and me...

The O'Neal Times Wyoming County Is Edition August 31, 2013 Letter From the Editor: Dear Reader, It's August 31, 2019. Today is Saturday. I was looking online to see if there was an O'Neal life event recently and I found. Jesse O'Neal from Barker's Ridge and his wife Melissa Hess O'Neal mentioned in an old obituary.  Melissa's brother's Martin Hess had died in 2016 but his birthday was on August 31, 1948. I wasn't exactly sure who this Jessie and Melissa was but figured some of my readers might. I'm sure I have met Mr. Martin Hess several times at work because his face seemed  awfully familiar. I was surprised to seeI had missed the obituary back in 2016. I have included the full obituary and also a link to where I found it in the picture section of today's newsletter. Obituaries : Martin Earl Hess, 67, of Stephenson gained his angel wings and went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, July 29, 2016 in a Virginia hospital fol...
