PAG3 NINE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Perquimans Church Services THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1951. GROWING THROUGH BIBLE STUDY : International Sunday School Lesson for July 18, 1954. nfpmnrv SnlArtinnr "Thv wnrrl 1 have laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11. Lesson Text: Acts-17:10-11; I Timothy 4:13-16; II Timothy 2:15; II Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 4:12. If the engineer failed to study his blueprints, or the doctor failed to keep up with the latest in medical books, or the lawyer failed to study his law books, ie would not be -long before their lack of study would become ap parent to the general public and their practice would fall off accordingly. Yet, Christians oftentimes fail to feel the need for Bible study to keep themselves informed on the words of God, in order that they might more ' nearly follow God's commands for their lives. Our lesson for this week commends to us anew the value of regular and consistent Bible study. Luke, who wrote the Acts, tells as that the Be rean Christians, whom Paul and Silas visited, were . more noble than the Christians in Thessalonica, in that "they received the word with all readi ness of mind, and searched' the, scrip tures daily, whether those things were so." Luke's words indicate that these people were a higher level - people, more gracious, better mannered, and more open to receive the truth Why? Because, he explains, they were not content with mere listening, they ex amined the Scriptures the Old Testa ment, of course, because the books of the New Testament had not then been written in order to see if what they were being told was true. Then, Paul, in a personal letter to a ' young preacher, Timothy, writes to en courage the young man in his difficult task. Things were not going as well as Paul : might have hoped because false teachings were being circulated in Ephesus. So, In Verse 13, of chap ter 4, Paul tells Timothy to devote much attention to the public reading of the- Scriptures, to preaching and to teaching. There is much value in the prope? reading of God's word in pub lic, so- much so that, more emphasis should be placed upon it. God's Word will, speak., effectively for, itself if it is effectively and distinctly presented to the peopled In verse 16, Paul summed up the central purpose of all Bible study. He told this young man that if he would be diligent in the search of truth, m his study and in his presentation of what he learned, he would save him self and others from the erroneous teaching which was at that time pre valent in Ephesus. Regular and con sistent study of the Bible today will help all of us to hold on to God's truths and thus not be swayed by the many "isms" of our day. In this way, we save ourselves from error and by our position may make possible the saving of others, who, falling victims to such teachings, might never know God's truth. Probably, one of the most familiar verses in all the Bible is II Timothy 215, in which Paul exhorts young Timothy to "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workmpn that .. needeth not to be ashamed, rightly di viding the word of truth." Certainly, Christian .growth " requires ' that we study the Bible. And, the obligation to be a good workman has a divine side to it. The Christian works not alone for the approval of men, yor for their enlightenment however import ant that, may be he should work so that he may proudly submit his work to God for His divine approval. In our second selection from Paul's second letter to Timothy, which was written by Paul while in the Roman Jail, the great Apostle implores his young friend to remain steadfast in the "things which thou hast learned and has been assured of." . Paul re minds Timothy that, from his infancy he had been acquainted with the sa cred writings, which were inspired and which are full of power for one who believes. , ' To an even greater extent, the .Christian's Bible, adding the - New .Testament to the Old, is a source of inspiration and power, and comfort, because no one can read the story of the life of Jesus and reflect upon his teachings without being impelled to a higher and nobler life. ? Verses 16 and 17 of this chapter give us a digest of the proper uses to which we may put Bible study. Paul declares, "Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for : reproof, for correction, for instruction 'which is in righteousness; that the man of God may be complete, furnish , ed completely unto every good work." Former President Herbert Hoover was right when he declared:! "The study of the Bible is a post-graduate course in the richest library of human experience." - (These comments are based on copy righted outlines produced by the Di vision of Christian Education, Nation al Council of the Churches of Christ, U.S.A.,and used by permission.) , V GO TO SOME ! CHUnCH ; "OH, FOR PEACE AND QUIET ! Whether you are a businessman or a housewife, a fellow who makes the wheels go 'round, or a woman in industry, there come times when you long for peace and quiet. You'll find quiet in woods like these, but not a silence. The wind whispers through the trees. Birds murmur softly. Insects squeak tunelessly. , The soft lap-lap of water against the shore is like distant drumbeats. There is infinite peace, but never silence. Much closer to you is another haven of peace your church. Here too you will find quiet, but no dead, spiritless silence. Instead you will find relief from your worries, and inspira tion to keep doing your best. You will find the friendliness of others like you seeking inspiration in these troubled times. For the peace and quiet that will carry you serenely through the week, go to Church Sunday. . v,.'.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.::.:i.:.-...:lx....v.v.JWA.'i????fev, . xto ,. : " 1 J ..m. ..- i-irfMffiajema I or ! li CHUBCH FOB AIL Th Church I, lh.
