' ?- ! > " Good news I * , ' CHRIST GIVES CAUSE TO REJOICE Phillippiaos 4:4-13 Written specifically to enforce the Christian duty of rejoicing iadte Lord, this sunny and challenging epistle teaches that <V9ti*ns should rejoice under all circumstances, regardless of the trials they have to bear, the losses they have to sustain, and the sacrifices they are called upon to make. While we cannot rejoice always in ourselves, in other people, or in cir cumstances, we can and should "rejoice in the Lord always" - in whom He is, in what He is, in what He has done, and in what He is doing. ' Verses six and seven recognize the tendency people to worry. This'desquieting solicitude about the temporal and material things of life is a prevalent and pernicious sin, which is divinely forbidden. Worry is enfeebling, useless, and sinful. It divides our attention, subtracts from our strength, adds to our burdens and multiplies our difficulties. It never dries a tear, nor lifts a burden, nor solves a single problem. It displays a lack of faith in God. Worry indicates that one distrusts God, ignores His lbve, and forgets His power. Worry is a sin against the worrier, others, and God. To overcome the sinful habit of worrying, concentrate on the present, have faith in God, talk to him about everything, and commit the future to Him. In verse eight Paul exhorts and challenges all Christians to cultivate elevating thoughts. He urges us to meditate on the things which are worthy of praise - things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. When the mind dwells on things like these one becomes more Christ-like. As Christians we should strive to be as much like our Lord now as it is possible for us to be, looking forward to the time when we shall be just like Him. Paul expressed to the Phillippian Christians his genuine appreciation of their wonderful record in ministering to his temporal needs by supporting him through their voluntary and Apterous contributions while he was ministering to others. VSRstian contentment, the secret of which Paul knew so well, is the cheerful acquiescence of the soul in the will of -God in all conditions and under all circumstances. Paul had learned to adjust himself to whatever life brought, whether abundance or poverty, fullness or hunger. Having found Christ equal to every emergency, Paul triumphantly remarked: "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthened me." Just as long as Christ kept on pouring poWer into Paul he had adequate strength for whatever he might be called upon to endure. Christ is the source of all power for victorious living and acceptable service. When the duties of Christians are extraordinary, they can always rely upon Christ for extraordinary supplies of grace and strength, We can over come temptations, endure sufferings, discharge duties, and enjoy an indescribable satisfaction of soul in living the life that knows no defeat throught Christ who will keep on pouring His strength into us. Through Christ, we can be ready for anything that comes. (Editor's note: We welcome Good News contributions from area ministers. They should- be typed, double-spaced, and limited to two pages.)

Film set at Berea PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, a feature motion picture based on the famous book, will be shown on November 18 at the Berea Church of Christ, Route 3, Hertford, at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Second only to the Bible itself in volume of sales, PILGRIM'S PROGRESS was written three centuries ago by John Bunyan. A common man by trade and lifestyle, Bunyan nonetheless became an astute student of the Bible. As a result of his studies, he voiced sharp disagreement against many of the religious prac tices of his day. Although never brought to trial, he spent twelve years in prison. It was while he was in prison that he wrote the book. The motion picture version, produced by Ken Anderson Films, selects highlights from the extensive story. Pilgrim is shown on this flight from the City of Destruction Portrayed by an excellent professional cast and filmed in the magnificent beauty of Northern Ireland, the film has made a real impact on Christians everywhere.
