Christianity and the Secular City
International Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 8
Lesson Text: Genesis 11:1-9; Zechariah 8:1-8;
John 17:15-18; Acts 19:23-41 I John 2:15-17;
Revelation 21:10, 22-27.
.Our lesson for today will attempt to evaluate
the very special problems that are attendant up
on city living, and at the same time analyze the
equally special opportunities that present them
selves to the ardent Christian as they relate to
witnessing for Christ.
God had in mind one very special city—a place
from which sin would be banished and whose
citizens would live their lives according to the
Holy decree. Jerusalem was chosen as the site
of this model community, but, alas, man failed
to live a life wholly acceptable in the eyes of
God, and the city fell upon evil times. De
stroyed, Jerusalem was yet given a second
chance; if she failed yet again, her downfall was
occasioned by the failure of man to understand—
the fault did not lie with God, nor was He guilty
of lack of concern.
The twentieth century Christian, looking
around at his twentieth century cities, cannot
fail to be struck by the evil that flourishes in
crowded city conditions. Drug abuse, robberies,
rapes and murders would seem to be the order
of the day. So much so, indeed, that one must
sometimes feel that the church is facing a never
ending and somewhat hopeless task, in bringing
order out of chaos, godliness out of ungodliness.
The involved Christian, however, cannot afford
to withdraw from the need that so patently sur
rounds him, for the negative approach is not the
one that wins battles. Rather, the concerned
Christian should be stimulated by the challenge
presented—that of drawing good out of evil, and
furthering Christ’s chosen work among the poor
and the oppressed, the ignorant and the lost. For
Christ, Himself, sought out the cesspools and
worked unceasingly to lift the human dregs to
the glory of heaven. In His Name, we cannot
do less.
Before economic necessity and/or the lure of
money drew men and women to urban living, a
great majority were born and grew up in small
towns across the country. There everyone knew
his neighbor, and this proximity imposed certain
restraints on latent waywardness. Now, all too
often, in a city of any size, the small-town image
is dispersed. Neighborliness is not only lost, but
all too often frowned upon. This trend towards
impersonality presents opportunities for privacy
that are easily abused, either through weakness
of character, boredom, or even loneliness. This
is where an active church is invaluable. God’s
work is never done, and God’s spirit of caring
must reach out to these lonely souls, providing
spiritual sustenance and strength. An alert
church body will realize there is work to be done
in the streets of a city as well as in the far-flung
foreign fields, and that missionaries are needed
at home, as well as abroad. For man’s nature is
such that he needs the sense of inner peace that
the assurance of God’s love brings. When he
feels that this love is denied him, he drifts.
The cities of our nation truly reflect man’s
progress—and his problems; it therefore follows
that they reflect the progress (and problems) of
the nation.
Paul was alert to the special need of the cities
of his dey and time. Often the seat if culture
and advancement, they were also fertile breed
ing grounds for poverty and crime. And who
will say that this it not also true today?
Few among us would be so impertinent as to
claim the Christian stature of Paul. Neverthe
less, dedicated discipleship and lofty ideals, when
combined with enthusiasm, are telling weapons
today, even as they were then.
Only as the urban church strives to meet the
need of the people, will the people strive to meet
the need of the church. Only thus will our
cities become truly “cities of God.”

ATTEND THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE'BVfcRY SUNDAY
Here comes the winnerl Can he hold that first-place position ? Or will he fail? Victory is
the most important thing in the world for these youngsters right now. Everything hinges on the
outcome of this contest.
Enthusiasm is an important part of successful living. It can stimulate the imagination and
inspire the mind. And it can be a contagious thing, too. It can affect your co-workers, your
friends and your family. That is why it is so important to instill enthusiasm in any successful or
ganization, as well as in individuals.
One of the greatest institutions on earth, the Church, has inherited a rich spiritual enthusiasm
which has been handed down through the centuries. Its members, working together, fired by the
enthusiasm of Faith can give you renewed inspiration which you in turn, can pass on to others.
Plan now to attend church next Sunday. Become a part of this great fellowship of be
lievers who can instill and impart enthusiasm into our lives, our community, our world.
