PAGE SIX I PARAGRAPHS BY W. ROBERT INSKO REVIVAL PLANS :* Any resloution for renewing one’s life in the Spirit re quires a plan of action. Such a plan must be carried out both individually and corporately if it is to take effect. The method used in making u a reality will vary, but if you belong to a church group that you feel needs re viving in a religious sense, then here are four areas that should recieve due consideration in the process of your planning. (1) Worship is the first. It must be at the very heart of Christian action, providing the spirit in which acti -1 vities are carried out. It is absolutely necessary if we are to receive the benefit of the guidance of the Holy Spi rit. Meetings opened with prayer, meals preceded by the grace, and days begun with prayer, have a much better chance of receiving the great benefit of His guidance than others. (2) Reading and study is the second. This is neglected f probably more than the first. The joke about the man | remarking about the book found in hotel rooms by Gideon bears a significant message. Very few people really know anything about the message in the Bible, the Old and the New Testaments, or the relevance of the Holy Writ for our 1 time. We must read and study if we are to- know what God is really like, not only of the experiences of the He- j brews as xound in the Old Testament and the early Chris tians as found in the New Testament, but also of the other great religions of the world. They too have achieved significant insights as to what God is like and his pur > poses for us. For the human being there is a great connec v tion between the mind and religion. God expects us to use our minds in loving Him. T V (3) Participation is the, third. We cannot worship by our selves, read and study by ourselves, and expect as great a benefit as we can from doing these things with others who also seek a renewal of the Spirit, a mending of their broken relationship with God. Sonde say that they would rather associate with a few good people outside the Church rather than to associate with people in the Church, be cause the latter are so corrupt. This is true in many cases and I understand such an attitude, but it is in the Church, where persons seek corporately to know God, that the Holy Spirit the Comforter as promised by Jesus Christ, is at work. (4) Action is the fourth. Action must always be the re sponse of the Christian. After worship, after reading and study, and after participation, there must be action if we are to revive our life in the Spirit, renew our broken relationship with God, create and make new our hearts and minds. , It is only when Christian individuals and groups of Christians corporately work diligently in these areas that a dynamic Christian fellowship comes into being. This is the creative process for which our Lord intended us." it is in this way that we fulfill His purooses for us. Let us, seriously, ask ourselves three questions: What is the Church? • ' What does it mean to me? ■■ * What am I going.to do about it? God grant iul “the spirit of wisdom” in answering these questions as He would havens answer them, that we may be true to ourselves, and true to Him, through Jesus Christ. .. - TO "SWW V, tractor buyers..
