There arc a number of verses in the Bible along this line; verses that seem to deal with the unimportant things of life. Sometimes I have found myself wondering just how much stress should be laid on these questions; if there is really any i...- ^ portance to be attached i<a them. Then I am led to ask- myself the question, "What is the Bible and why was it given to us as it is if there are some things that might be just as well be disregarded. I've been told that there is a lot of history in the Bible and a lot of prophesy which has no bearing on the conduct of our every-day life today. I wonder. If the Bible writers took history and prophesy and the teachings of the Bible as they occurred and in th<' order in which they transpired why is it that a document, in the nature of history and prophesy is so incom plete? Why do ire have nothin;; recorded about the life and works of so many men who must have been pretty prominent in those days, in the sense thai the world at large looks upon prominence? Why is it that we have only the stories of men directly related to the Christian era and those who had a direct bearing on the evente that have shaped them selves into a working out of Christ's plan? I am inclined to accept the Bible as a guide to my daily life and con duct. That being the case, am I *?> shape my life in strict accordance with the instructions laid down there or can I accept and reject as I see fit? I can not but feel that if I am to accept any portion of what is there for my guidance I must accept it in its entirety, and for the same reason that a traveler, :n consulting his road map notes every little di rection that is placed there for him. To disregard one little crook or turn v.ould throw him off his entire course. Take thfi verse quoted as an in stance. We are told that in eating: and in drinking and in WHATEVER we do to do it all to the elory of God. Just what construction we are to place upon that text may be a matter of personal opinion in which we wight all differ to some extent. I can not. but feel that there are certain points where the line is to be drawn. It can hardly be /denied that liquor drinking, in. that verse would be tabooed. You may say that a little liquor will <Jo r.? great harm but does it do any good? Can any op.?. honestly say that in drinking -liquor he is glorifying his Creator? Another way ir. which we may look at this question in order to get a clearer conception of it is this: What arc- we REQUIRED to take into our bodies to sustain life? In this enlightened age that should net be a difficult question to answer. We all know that there- are things thai are consid^-d harmful by those in position to know. We do not have to go to the written Word for that. Then if those things are harmful, whatever they may be, can we take them into our bodies arid aril! glorify Cod in so doing? In that, you have the answer. But the text goe* on further than that: We are told tnat in everything we do we should do it to the glory of God. Can we indulge in "back yard gossip,'1 profanity, dirty stories and other things of a similar nature and glorify Ged in it? If we can not then :t is safe tjf*'""" say that we shouid refrain from those thing? as strictly a- we refrai.i from murder, theft, adultry /tfrnl similar acts. Why? Because, sif we are. to accept the Bible as it is writ ten we can not help but notice that we are told that "if we are guilty of one violation, .we are guilty of alt." I take that to mean -thst'even though we do everything we are commanded to do; though we live perfect iives excepting one tJiin/) then we might as well have done all things wrong. 1 do not mean, of course, sins we com mit. unknowingly but those we do wilfully. In Religion -.-re must educated and it requires time to attain any measure of perfection but as we find where we are doing wrong and make an attempt, to correct it we are doing the be*r we can. But if we obey in everything and hold on to just one pet sin then car efforts are wasted. So, when we are told that is every thing we must glorify God it is safe to assume that be meant exactiv ?, that. It was not. put there without. $ purpose. If we are to accept any part of the teachings of the Bible we must aecept all regardless of how ?rivial it may appear to us. God is ' [e judge of that, and He has not lefj ,t work to us. We are merelj in thought, word and deedj re permitted to choose twe preferred tcnHft there for the i jpild choos could festaic
