Patsy ' Sunday School Lessov (Continued fr om Page 3) not always act as we expect him to. We must never simply equate social movements, political ma neuvers, and national fortune with the will of God. On the other hand, the biblical writers say that God is able to use these episodes for his own purposes. God's Unexpected Ways These, then, are the two ele ments of worship reflected in Nehemiah ? honesty and atten tiveness (or confession and covenant). We should note, how ever, that to a certain extent honest yprecedes attentiveness. We cannot truly be attentive to God until we have been honest with ourselves and with him. Of course, until God bursts forth upon us and forces us to take an honest look at ourselves, we will have a hard time being hon est. Through study of the Bible and involvement in the life of the world, we place ourselves in a position in which one day we may be shocked to our roots to discover that our ideas about how God works have changed. We will have learned that God is not bound to the church as his only instrument. He is able to use any instrument he chooses. Some of these instruments we may not like very well. We may i be shocked by the dress of some ; of the persons involved, by their habits or their language. But can i we honestly deny that God might be using the hippies to show us the hypocrisy of much of our usual way of life? Are the riots that have shat tered some of our communities in recent years to be understood only as what one might expect from hoodlums? Or are they signs of a deeper problem? To affirm that God uses such instruments doesn't mean that the church must approve or adopt the methods or views of the people described. It merely means that we must be open to the work of God wherever it ap pears, whatever the form. All we have been saying is the real reason for the form our ser vices of worship take. Tradition ally, they have begun with a call to worship (God's call), fol lowed by confession (first of God's might and love; second, of our own sin). Only then are we ready for the reading of the word of God, the speaking of the word, and the hymns o f dedica tion. perhaps one reason preaching is often so poor and people axe so deal is that neither the preacher nor the members of the congregation have been honest with God or with themselves. What Will We Do About It? How do you react to the au thor's use of the words honesty and attentlvenesa for confession and covenant? Can you think of other words that might be used? Does your Sunday morning service regularly include a prayer of confession? If not, why do you think it does not? Should there be one? If so, how would you go about having one intro duced? Working as a class, develop a prayer of confession. (See the hymnal for some examples.) What are some matters about which you and the people in your church and your commu nity need to be honest before God? How would you character ize your congregation with re gard to the type of honesty dis cussed in the lesson? In the section "What the Scripture Says to Us" the author suggests that "God is not bound to the church as his only instru ment. He is able to use any in strument he chooses." Find this sentence in the lesson and then underline the two examples the author cites. What evidence of God's working have you seen in news stories recently? Cite spe cific examples. Father, open our eyes to what we are and have been. Hold be fore us the vision of what we can become and what yon want us to become. And give us the desire to be what you ^ant ns to be. We pray In the name of htm who listened perfectly to you. Amen. NORTH CAROLINA.
