HEARING AND DOING
Luke 6:43-49
The nature of the fruit which is borne by any tree is deter
mined by the nature of the tree. Each tree produce* fruit of
the same kind of itself ? a peach tree bears peaches, a fig
tree bears figs, etc. Likewise, people reveal their true
character in the fruit which they bear. Christ said:
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." And
unregenerate heart is an evil tree which cannot produce
anything except the evil works of the flesh. In some cases it
may produce an imitation of good fruit, but it cannot pro
duce the real thing. Even though one may pretend to be
what he is not, if his heart is wicked, his words and his
works are certain to be evil also.
Every life brings forth some kind of fruit, and the fruit
always reveals the condition of the heart. What the lips say
and what the hands do are accurate manifestations of the
condition of the heart. Just as the fruit reveals the kind of a
tree, so the life of a person reveals whether or not he has
been saved. Men are not saved by their works, but their
works are certainly an evidence of their salvation or of the
lack of it. The only way to have the right kind of an inward
and an outward life is to have Christ dwelling in the heart.
If your heart is God-fearing, Christ-loving, pure, clean, and
dedicated, it will be obvious to all who observe your life and
the Lord will be glorified thereby.
Calling a person a Christian does not make him one any
more than calling a thirteenth floor of a building the four
teenth in an attempt to allay the fears of superstitious peo
For Your Information*
Dear friends,
Prearrangement of funeral service
is especially sensible where there
are no close family members to pro
perly assume the funeral respon
sibilities. The concerned person may
select his clergyman and funeral
director in advance, decide details of
burial and service, and place the ex
pense funds in a trust for that
purpose.
Respectfully,
CARD OF THANKS
The family of Sara Mae Felton wishes to
express their sincere gratitude and ap
preciation to our many friends for their
prayers and many acts of kindness shown
during this time of need.

pie. One can prove that he is a Christian by what he is, by
what he believes, by what he thinks, by what he says, by
what he does, and by what he produces. The measure of
one's Christian faith will be known by the character of his
conduct and by the extent of his devotion. People may be
thought of as being in one of three classes: those who
advertise and deliver the goods, those who advertise but do
not deliver the goods, and those who neither advertise nor
deliver the goods. If Christ is truly your Lord, then obey
Him and produce the fruits of a Christian. If you are going
to bear Christian fruit then live in the spiritual environ
ment of prayer, worship, and Bible study in order to bear
fruit for your Lord.
Christ taught that building a life is like building a house.
He reminded each reader of this passage that he is a build
der, that he has a choice of foundations, that the foundation
will be tested, and that the building will either stand or fall
depending on whether or not one has built his life in obe
dience to the expressed will of Christ.
Luke 8:19-21
Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus, along with her
younger sons, the half-brothers of the Saviour, arrived on
the scene, but they were not able to reach Him because of
the immense crowd that had assembled. Thinking that in
all likelihood He was on the verge of a breakdown because
of overwork, they were very anxious to restrain Him from
such strenuous activities and to take Him back to Nazareth
with them, in the earnest hope that He might get some rest
which He needed so much.
Upon being told that the members of His family were in
the area and seeking an audience with Him, without any
thought or intention of being disrespectful to them, Christ
declared that the members of His earthly family could not
exercise any authority over Him any longer, but that He
was going to do the perfect will of His Heavenly Father.
Moreover, He announced that He had enlarged His family
circle so as to include all who "hear the word of God, and do
it."
Our response to the teachings of Christ as recorded in the
Word of God determines our happiness and our usefulness
in life.
