The Bible is quite prop
erly called the Church’s
Book. It arose witbip its
life and from the first, was
regarded as one of its most
precious possessions. It was
used as a means of edify
ing existing members of the
Christian community and? of
winning new ones. It ytas
handed on from one group to
another and from one indivi
dual to another. ‘‘When this
letter has been read among
you,” wrote St. Paul to the
Colossians, “see that it is
also in the Church, of

the reading but also in the
circulation of the Scrip

but even in the darkest days,
when interest in the • Bible

never repudiated. The dis

This Is The Life
By DONALD THOMAS
Immanuel Baptist Church
SHARPER THAN A SWORD
God’s woAl is really pow
erful and strong. It will
make some people mad, oth
ers it will bring tears to
their eyes and lost sinners 1o
Christ. John the Baptist
lost his head over speaking
God’s Word.
Stephen was stoned to
death by speaking out for
God. The Christians were
fed to the lions and boiled
in oil. Some Christians were
used for lamps to light up
the garden tor Nero. We
are born by the word of
God and we are supposed to
love with our heart, not
with words.
Let us be the doers of the
word and not hearers of the
word only. If you take
your stand for Christ, you
will be hated. Some of you
may lose your friends, fam
' ily or even your job. John
Wesley used to say if you
didn’t get some one saved
or make someone mad, there
was something wrong with
your religion. Let us run
the good race while we are
here and choose Jesus as
our running mate.
The Bible says: “For the
Word of God is quick and
powerful and sharper than
any two-edged sword.”—He
brews 4:12.
the Church, came into exist
ence only because the Church
was sadly failing in its duty.
Today the generally accept
ed view is that since the
Bible offers God’s plan of
salvation to men everywhere,
it is the Church’s bounden
duty to see that it gets to
every man. Certain sec
tions of the Church are do
ing this with magnificent
zeal and success. If all sec
tions were to emulate that
zeal, a great new era of
Christian advance could be
confidently anticipated.

gered by injustices (as we
have a right to be) such an
ger is beneficial to our so
cial structure if we do some
thing about it, and see that
wrongs are righted. Per
sonal wrongs, however, gen
erating personal anger, are
another thing altogether.
Personal anger, directed at
any person or persons, does
more harm to the individual
beset with that emotion than
the recipients of it. For out
of anger comes hate—one of
the most soul - destroying
emotions known to mankind.
Better to meet such set
backs with adult self-con
trol and reason, than to be
come, a slave to bitterness.
And how much- pain is
caused by gossip! It is hu
man to wish to be the cen
ter of attention. But we
should ask ourselves if we
really want to be the center
of attention of the gossip
mongers. If we affiliate
ourselves wit!) such people,
we detract from ourselves
as persons and as Christians.
When tempted to indulge in
gossip we should stop and
nsk ourselves how we would
feel if we were in the sub
ject’s shoes.
Thievery of worldly goods
is frowned upon, both leg
ally and morally. There
are, however, intangible
things that are of much more
value than mere objects
which can be thieved, and
these can be stolen by gos
sip, lies or deceit. Too of
ten we hear the excuse
proffered that it was a
“white lie” framed in order
to avoid hurting another’s
feelings. There is really no
such thing as a “white lie.”
Too often this is only an ex
cuse for moral cowardice!
This is not to say, however,
that, biuntness is the only
other choice. The subject,
too often, can be deflected
if it is felt it could bring
pain, without resorting to
a lie at all "white or
“black.” Here personal in
tegrity enters into the pic
ture, for a lie discovered can
only lead to distrust in the
future, no matter what shade
it is!

warring factions all over the
globe, with lust for power,
