SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SEPTEMBER 17, 1922 Subject?"The Message of Mala chi." Melechi 3:1-18. Golden Text?"Return unto me, end 1 will return unto you, saith the Lord of Hoots." Mel. 8:7. Uncertain but supposed to 8gM*out B. C. 436. Place Jerusa Hbre is nothing definitely known jfiSdit the author of this book except what is gathered from his work. We know thath^W a man of religious that cried his countrymen. The name is the last of the Minor Prophets and the last of the Some hare plac edJ^Bp^HKU* book before the M^^HH^^HKers during the ab i^^HHPHth at the court. Wis style is vigorous, concise, and clear. There is to be noted a deep earnestness in all his utterances. This entire book contains only four short chapters and we cannot get the thougt as intended in this present les son without a careful study of the entire book. The condition existing in the day when Malachi liv ed and wrote finds its parallel today. There are some severe rebukes giv en by Jehovah against Israel because of their sins; this is mellowed how ever by the gracious promises of Je hovah. Our lesson proper commences with chapter three at verse seven. We desire however to begin with the first verse of this chapter. "Behold I send my messenger, and he shall pre pare the way before me." He was to come announced by a forerunner, he was to come to fulfill a great commis sion and also to come suddenly. "He shall sit as a purifier of silver." Un der this figure is foretold the work of the Gospel of the Son of God; its cleansing and sanctifying work in the hearts and lives of men. The work of fire is dreadful yet glorious. As man is to be tried by fire, it is a great consolation to the Christian to know that it is done under the eye and hand of the Savior pf mankind. "I am the Lord, I chancre not." What a profound truth the world needs to stop long eonugh to learn today. Seemingly we have come 'to a day when men act as if they are dealing with a little, insignificant, changeable God. Not so, we are un der the eyes of the "Great I am," the same God as our fathers had. We are also dealing with a God of justice, one who will punish sin as He has ever done in the past. Chapter 3, verse 8. "Will a man rob God?" We are sadly mistaken if we think that heaven contains all of God's property. All here on earth ? belong to Him as well as the domain ?of heaven. "What is man that Thou art mindful of him, or the son man that thou visitest him?" Anything suffered to have a stronger power over us than the will of God may be rob bing Him. A temptation stands dose by each of us to cause us to rob God if only we will yield to the temptation. We owe to God our most gentle af fections, purest love, highest grati tude, fullest obedience and our very best, whole hearted service. The man today who is at enmity with God, not reconciled to Him, is a robber. His redemption has been purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ and he is with holding his life and service from God, and robbing Him of His dues because of the purchase price paid. The Jews were required under the law to give God one-tenth of all cat tle and the fruits of the field. Cer tainly nothing less is required of the children of God today. We have not given God anything till we have paid our debt to Him with the tithe. The Jew was under the law bound to pay the tithe and then the free will oifer ? in*. It is a shame today that the church of Jesus Christ is on the beg list and the world cames in for the first of all we hare. It la a disgrace to respectable men and women to groan and moan unde^ a little church obligation and many times never meet H at all, then spend money and give time to every conceivable worldy amusement and pleasure. Men today are just as guilty in the sight of God as were the Jews in the days of Mala chi. Men can be found today who give several hundred dollars for auto mobiles and their upkeep during year and five dollars looks as big when it comes to the church as the Rocky Mountains. The price of. the movies for a year for some families in the church will go many times above the price paid for the evangelization of the world. These Jews in the days of Malachi brought the sick of the flock and the things no good- to them and offered it to Jehovah. You know what God said about this kind of busi ess. Are we any better today? We get the pennies, offer them to God, take the dollars and spend or hoard for ourselves. We take the days, weeks, months for ourselves and give God a few moments after we are through. Is this any better than they did in the days of Malachi? Tithe and offering has always been Go8's law. This law has never been chang ed to suit your fancy and mine. 4 Ye are cursed with a curse; for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation." ''Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse and prove me now herewith saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to re ceive it" Will we as individuals and as a nation come back to God and pay up what we owe, or will we continue to rob God and have a curse come upon us? We desire to see one com munity of Christian people put God to the test?"Prove Him" and see if he will do what he has said he would do.- Have you ever tried Him to see if He is true to His word? Israel has sinned and transgressed God's law over and over again and yet He is still making promises and fulfilling every last one of them when they repent and come back to Him. Again we want to say that it is a shame on the church and professed Christians that God gets so little of our time, thought, and money. One hundred cents of every dollar you have comes from Him. Twenty-four hours of every day is His, every breath you breathe is from Him?a new gift from the hand of God. In conclusion we want to beg the church to get off the beg list. When innfiissi.il Christian men and women quit stealing from the Lord and go to paying Him what they owe the church will quit keeping preachers oa the starvation H* and wondering where the next doDar is coming from. When the church pats God to the taat and brings to His treasury all the tithe sad offerings that belong to Him the missions of the church will be taken care of, the preacher win have time to do something more than worry about finances for at least gSlf the year. "Faith without works is dead, being alone." Praying without " ty ing robs us of the best Pay God what you owe. Turn over a ,-iew sheet and keep accounts balanced. Put God to the test and get the richest there is in store for yon. Bead Matt hew 22:21, 1 Cor. 16:2. Also study New Testament and see what Jesus Himself has to say about your duty as regards money. God has made each of us stewards, or trustees and placed in our hands His goods. We can be honest iiv the use of what we have, whether time or money, and glorify God with it, or we can be dis honest and rob God and bring a curse upon our lives and upon others.
