THE FAMILY COLONIAL MOTOR COURT RESTAURANT WILL BE ok v- ALL DAY WEDNESDAYS To Allow Our Employees to Have a Day to Enjoy With Their Families JOHN AND RUTH HAMPTON THE CHOWAN HERALD 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. 808 GRAY Topic Is Chosen For Sundoy Sermon Rev. E. L. Earnhardt has chosen “The Professionals” as the topic for his sermon at 11 A.M. Sunday in Edenton United Methodist Church. Bernard Burroughs will be the lay speaker for the 7:30 P.M. service. tfrae ocjt fori Sunday School Lesson the church empowered 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 ■ Today we are facing a spiritual revolution amongst our children How Shall wo lead then, when we are considered (by them) to be ° * * ** ‘ of on own *tf 'tASbfciv.^ Not much of a world—when you consider all its human imperfections.
