chance to help their food budget

Fight for Freedom
Lesson for February 19, UN.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS of
problems with living things.
One is the kind of problem caused
by its growing too fast; the other
is the problem caused by not grow
ing fast enough. The early church
had mostly the first kind of prob
lem. At any rate it was taking in a
lot of members
whom the older
Christians found
strange. At first
all Christians had
been Jews; no one
thought of anything
else. But in Anti
och, as we have
seen, and even
more as the church
spread westward
I'll
Dr. Foreman
around the edge of
the Mediter
ranean, the Christian churches were
filling up with non-Jewish mem
bers, just as they are today.
It is no secret that in the Mason
ic order there are 33 degrees. It
is not possible for a new member
to be taken right into the 33rd de
gree the first night. Everybody has
to go through the lower degrees
which are called the Blue Lodge.
Now many persons In that early
church thought of the Jewish faith
as a sort of Christian Blue Lodge.
All. the very earliest Chris
tiana bad been members of
that lodge; why shouldn't every
one else be the same? So when
Paul and Barnabas came back
from that historic) missionary
tour of Cyprus and points
north, telling abont the large
number of new Christians,
these old-style Christians shook
their heads.
Paul was by-passing the Blue
Lodge; he was taking in members
who had not gone through the prop
er preliminaries, the first degrees.
What Makes a Man
A Christian?
PAUL KNEW a real Christian
when he saw one. So did
Barnabas. And the two of them
knew, right down in their souls,
that they had seen real conver
sions, genuine cases of persons
coming out of pagan darkness Into
Christian light, without being Jews
at all, even for five seconds. (
The vital question was simply
this: What makes a Christian? The
old-style Christians, who bad been
Jews themselves and still were,
for all their Christian faith, said:
Unless you are circumcized and
keep all the laws of Moses, you
cannot be saved you cannot even
begin to be a Christian. Paul and
Barnabas not alone, but as spokes
man for many others in the church
said: You are saved by faith.
The Jerusalem Christians said:
Yes, you are saved by faith, AND
by keeping the law of Moses. Paul
said: you are saved by faith,
period.
How They Settled It
THE WAY that problem was
settled is a model for all
Christian churches with problems
on their hands. First of all, the
argument was brought out Into the
open; it was not whispering cam
paign. Second, it was settled after
giving both sides plenty of oppor
tunity for full discussion in public.
Third, it was settled not informally
but by a church council, a group of
representative leaders, not by a
simple majority vote of all church
members indiscriminately. Fourth,
it was settled (as the reader of Acts
19 may see) by appeals to fact and
to Scripture.
Finally, once the leaders had
made up their minds, (he
chnroh at Urge accepted their
decision promptly, without far
ther bickering. Thla,hsa been
the pattern for the Christian
church ever alnce, though alail
tt has not always been followed.
There would have been fewer
church splits if the example of the
early church had been more ser
iously taken.
Faith and Obedience
ESSENTIALLY, that first great
church council decided on the
side of Paul and Barnabas. But
they did not throw the Old Testa
ment overboard. The moral law
was as good as it ever was. But
the council showed, once and for
all, the, true relations between
Christian faith and obedience to
the law of God.
There Is Jost one doorway to
the Father', house, the doer
- way of faith. We do not have to
keen the law ef Moses, or any
set of laws, first. We are
saved BY obedience. '
We are not saved FROM obedi
ence. But we are saved FOR obe
dience. A Christian's obedience to
God is not way of earning God's
good-will. It is a grateful response
to God's grace. And that makes all
' the diffeernce in the world. r ;
