Binkley Conducting Services In Baptist Church (Continued from page one) of the gospel. Second, that you must do some work in the cause of Christ, united in the spirit and working to gether in the great task that God has committed to your hands and pour ing out the energies of your life for His cause Third, if your life is worthy of the gospel of Christ, you are going to be bravehearted for God said not to be afraid of anything on earth except the loss of the soul and upon Him. Fourth, the life that is worthy of the gospel of Christ will be willing not only to believe in Jesus but to suffer in His cause and do all things without murmurings and disputings. You may be ridicul ed and persecuted in the world but there is always the consolation, com fort of love, and fellowship of God. Those who take their religion ser iously and follow Jesus will have the power, joy and peace of God which is a big need in our homes and communities today. If we examine our hearts on this question: "If my life worthy of the gospel of Christ?" and intelligently and seriously re solve to be steadfast, work together, have the courage to stand up under the burdens of life and take our places in life with the pure in heart who may be persecuted for right eousness sake, this and this alone will lead to permanent victory.
