THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, PBCCBMBEK 15, 1950 PAGE NINE Perquimans Church Services SIDAY SCHOOL ,, LESSON 'V THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE GOSPEL -,. International Sunday School (Lesson ' for December 10, 1950 'Memory' Selection: "This is how ,u MVS. .should rregaid us as servants of ' Christ and. stewards of the mysteries ; of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trust ' worthy." I Corinthians 4: 1-2. Lesson Texts , Acts 8: 4-8; II Corinthians '5: 17-20; . Philippians I 12-18. " Following our consideration of stew ardship as related to money aftd to " dedication of life, we are. Ala week . hiiHtHtvo. nhnnt the Christian's reSDon- sibility as stewards of the gospel of,' v Jesus Christ, we realize tnai tne . word "stewardship" has a strong and . .intensive meaning and, therefore, the stewardship of the gospel is a solemn resDonsibilitv -of those who have ac cepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. (Robert. E. Speer has said: '"Any man who has a religion is bound to do-one of two things with it, change it or spread it. If it isn't true, he must give it up. If it's true, he must give it away . . . There is no proxy religion. Each man has Ms own. If he hasn't, he has none. No other man can have it for him. And if he has his own, then he must propagate it, if it is true, or repudiate it, if it is false." Luke tells us, in Acts, that the per secution of the early believers was such that they were "scattered abroad." However, , wherever they went, : they told the story of Jesus Christ. Philip left Jerusalem and went down to the city of Samaria ar.d there he "proclaimed unto them the Christ," with the result that the "mul y... ' titudes gave ; heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by ':' Philip." : Philip and the early Christians were effective and courageous witnesses for Christ. In spite of the hostility of v the leaders of the Jewish ecclesiastical ,'. firoun and their immediate Personal ? - 'perHy they continued - topresewt the good news Doicuy 'ana persuasively. They felt compelled to tell everyone with whom they came in contact about their savior. ' Certainly, this is a day of oppor- ; tunity for Christians to be active wit nejwfifl for Christ Wherever they sro trrov should tell the story of Jesus and try to win others to Him This is the way to bulla tne surest loun dation for our home life, our com munitv life, our national life, and in ternational life. . How effective a wit ' nma nr von for Christ? - (While the gospel of Jesus must be vivan in Minna around us. our resDon- - sibility does not end with our own community, our own state or our own nation, i We must either personally nr mtK niir monev. heln snread the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. We abould realize that tne ultimate goal set before us is the of the - world to Jesus Christ and id way of life.' Just be fore Ms ascension, Jesus voeciarea v "All newer is eiven urito me In Heav n id in earth. Go ve therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them ', in the name of the Father! and of , the Son, and of the. Holy ihost: ) ' Teaching them to observe all things ' whatsoever I have commanded you: and, for. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." ('Matt, zs '.'1ft.20). - , Again quoting Robert E., Speer, we agree with him when he says, "Tell ing men the Gospel, explaining what . Christ can be to a man, is preacning, as stiriptural-as any preaching can be i made. lit makes no miierence 11 ix is . done haltingly. A broken-testimony to a friend mav be more , effective than a smooth and conclusive Sunday morning sermon. The . true ideal of "' Christian evangelism the propa- gation of Christianity, not by pub lic preaching so much as by private - k. Conversation and the testimony of mimon men." . .. . . iAr vnn n "irnMninniirv" for Christ? Whether you realize it or not, you are ' preaching eome gospel around you. Every Christian' ought to think of himself as "a Christian missionary wherever to goes. You can work In the home, church, iA your immediate neighborhood or community. Others work ' in distant jungles. Both are doing the same thing winning the unsaved to a saving wiowieage oi me Lord Jesus Christ, BE A BETTER. CITIZEN! GO TO SOME CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY . J ? K ld(r V f r H4 Remember how we used to "wait up" for banta! Why Christmas Eve was the longest mgnr oi tne year. We couldn't erocto sleen for the excit. ment of anticipation.
