a f TO Om
Portion
What are the things people
fear? Inflation, gas shortage,
loss of prestige, growing old, not
being accepted by one’s peers?
A prophet of long ago revealed
one thing that the people did not
fear—“the fear of God is not in
you” (Jeremiah 2:19).
Is this observation truthful
even today? Do people, as a
whole, fear the Lord God of
hosts? Do you really fear God?
Fear of Godteaches awe and
respect for God. God is no “pal
Joey”, ‘‘grandfather
benevolent”, or ‘‘fire-esacpe
Sam.” He is God omnipotent.
He not only has all power, He is
all power.
Fear of God convicts one of his
own sinfulness. The “I” of sin
always stands in opposition to
God. Awareness, confession,
and repentance of sin requires a
recognition of the holiness of
God.
Fear of God, contrary to
much popular theology, does
not destroy the concept of the
love of God, it really enhances
it. When one learns to fear God
because of God’s “Godness”
and his own “manness” he is
overwhelmed by the knowledge
that God still loves him.

International Sunday School
Lesson for March 3, 1974
LESSON TEXT: Acts 1-2.
For the past thirteen weeks
we have been addressing
ourselves to the teachings of
John; now we move
purposefully forward to the
Book of Acts, which
complements our learning
hitherto, for Acts constitutes
a blueprint for Christian
living, both individually, as
members of the Christian
faith, and collectively, as a
church that is God-oriented.
It is a path, plentifully
endowed with signposts, for
all who would commend
themselves to the
furtherance of God’s holy
work.
Christ, so soon to be
betrayed by Judas Iscariot,
fully aware of the portent of
this act of betrayal, had
bidden His beloved disciples
to remain in Jerusalem, to
await the coming of the Holy
Spirit. They therefore,
naturally repaired to the
Upper Room.
Shaken over the events of
the past few days, sorrowful
in the terrible sense of
personal loss, they
nevertheless obeyed the
command of the beloved
Master. And their obedience
bore fruit. For, while
gathered together, they
renewal of '•
the’Holy Spirit in their lives.
Thus nurtured, they felt
empowered to go fourth and
preach the Gospel, girded to,
overcome whatever obstacles
would be put in their path!
Would that more of us—
present-day Christians—
could feel such truly personal
dedication! If we could, as
individuals, then so would our
church be enriched in spirit
and aggressiveness! For a
church (as it has been said
before) is only as progressive
as the individuals who make
up it’s congregation!
In the verses under our
study today, emphasis is laid
upon two things; they were in
, accord and in prayer. In this
lay their strength. For the
church that is divided is only
as strong as the fence’s
proverbial weakest link!
It is written that those
assembled were endowed
with the power of foreign
tongues; that is—they
enjoyed a universal
language, no matter what
their background, their
professional calling. Perhaps
they were united in the
universal language of love—
of caring?
And is no *hat the
cornerstone of t i Christian
movement, as a whole? For
we, are instructed—indeed,
we are commanded—by the
lesson that was Christ’s
life...to care for our
fellowman, no matter what
his circumstances or station
might be.
It is this translation of the
sublime into humanitarian
principles which it the
backbone of Christianity.
We cannot, in all good
conscience, prosper if a
brother suffers; we cannot
tarn our backs upon
unbelievers if we do not share
the joyous message of
salvation! This is the tenet
upon which the chtrcfa has
. grown ; and if we do not apply
. it to our Christum beliefs, on
a personal basis, then is the
church of our chosto

Not much of a world—when you
consider all its human imperfections.
Yet it’s the world we are giving our
children—the world in which they
must grow up and find their destiny.
And we keep hoping that theirs will be
a finer generation—one able to im
prove this world.
What our children eventually do
with the world depends upon our spiri-
