WILLIAM HOUSTON, IV
William Houston IV was born in Dayton, Ohio in July 1972, to the proud parents of Teresa and William Houston. In his early years, William was creative and imaginative, always trying to fix or build electrical things. As a child, William also learned to play the drums and guitar, heavily influenced by his father. As William began to evolve as teenager, he was introduced to the House of God, of which he is an active member today.
Throughout his school years, William was an above average student, appearing on the honor roll several times, and members of the National Honor Society, and other National Academic groups. William received 2 scholarships from Wright State University, where he pursued a degree in Computer Science. It was during William's transition from high school to college, that he became heavily involved with computers.
He has held many training sessions, teaching others how to use computers, and has even built a few computers. William eventually began to attend school part time, while working full time in the professional work world. In the work arena, William began to merge his desktop computer knowledge, with the concept of networking. Before you know it, William had designed a his first Windows NT network, and performed the entire installation and configuration of the network, except for running the cable! On July 28, 1996, William married his long time sweetheart, Sheila. Sheila holds a degree in Marketing, from Wright State University.

MONTHLY BIBLE STUDY
"No man can serve two masters," Matthew 6:24-34
In these 10 verses is some of the remarkable teaching found in the sermon on the mount. Jesus teaches his audience here that man is incapable of serving two masters at the same time. Christ's reasoning is simple: two contrasting systems cannot be served by man. Man must make a choice between serving God, or serving mammon (i.e., the world, material things, the Devil).
Beginning in verse 25 Christ says that because man is unable to serve both God and the Devil he ought to serve God and give Him first priority in his life. Christ also tells man to disregard the things of a material nature and put his greatest effort into conforming to Divine things. Christ shows that man's efforts in food and drink, man's desire to lay up material valuables, man's worry about his physical appearance, man's concern for raiment, etc. ought not be of serious concern because God knows already what we need and will abundantly supply our needs (25-32).
Then in verse 33 Jesus states that which is paramount in man's considerations, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God," as a result of this "seeking first God's Kingdom" these necessities that are required for our survival will become available to us, we ought therefore to worry less about material things and concentrate more on Divine things (verse 34).
