Scriptinaa aalacta* b, Tba aibbncab aiMb Socigtv VARIETY OF LIFE STYLES International Sunday School Lesson Scripture: Matthew 19:16-30 By Mrs. Jesse Waller We were not created by an all wise God, and then turned loose in this world to do as we please. We were created for a meaningful purpose, each one of us unique and different. A spark of the divine was implanted in each creation and everyone was given a choice. There was also a Light, a Life, and a Way provided, so that we should not loose our way. God chose us before the foundation of the world, we did not choose Him first. Then, as if this were not enough, He spoke through Moses, and gave His children some commandments by which to live. P—’ond that God sent His only Son to show us how to live. His lite style was perfect, and there was no sin in Him He gave up His life as a ransom for our sin, and promised that His Spirit would be with us always. How can we reject this great act of Love. In different parts of our nation, and in our world, we may have many different varieties of life style. The one spoken of in our scripture, who came to Jesus asking “Teacher what good deed must I do to have eternal life”? has lost his way. He knew the commandments, and had kept them from his youth up, but Jesus told him to sell all that he had and give to the poor, and he would have treasure in heaven, and added, come follow me. His life style was self centered, and wrong. When the disciples heard this they were amazed, and asked Jesus, who then can enter the kingdom of heaven? The scripture says, “Jesus looked at them and said, “with men this is impossible, but with God all things are pos sible.” Matthew 19:26. We live in a society where it is impossible to keep up with the changing life styles, if that is what one was striving to do. Young mothers leave their children at nurseries and kin dergarten schools, and work from early morning until late afternoon. Some of them must, just to feed their families. TTiere are others who must want to bring in an extra salary, so that they may accumulate more things, have a second car, and most of all get away from the “kids”. Then there is money for the baby sitter. The older generation, who are joiners of every organ-, ization in town, and spend their evenings playing games, but have no time for church, form a dangerous life style. This year, at graduation time, my attention was called to the sinful waste of money, and way in which many of the youth celebrated graduation night-all night, in mixed groups in motels or apartments. A Christian service, or bac cauaureate sermon was not allowed, because of the large non Christian population. The ministerial union got together, and had a service at one of the churches for the graduates who desired to come. Two pews held the graduates who came, out of the hundreds who chose not to come.
