Issue 307 of Point of Reference opens with Pastor Jack Bannister's creation poem — "When God made man, He spoke to Himself" — and his poem "Loaves and Fish," setting the stage for the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. Lois Bannister teaches the main study, "Perfect Provision — Nothing Lost," drawing from all four Gospel accounts to show that Jesus wasted nothing — not a crumb, not a life, not a broken dream. She traces God's gathering work through Elijah's despair, David's fugitive years, Job's ash heap, the Samaritan woman's five failed marriages, and the woman with the issue of blood — showing that He who knew what He would do is still gathering up every fragment. The episode closes with six reflective aphorisms, the moving poem "Why Us?" by Grace L. Ferris, and Pastor Jack's joyful A-to-Z meditation on what Jesus is to us — from Atonement to Zenith.
