What is Our Concern? We can see signs in our land suggesting that many persons are seeking a spiritual dimension to living. We may include such items as the large attendance at some evangelistic rallies; the growth of religiously oriented communes among young people; the continuing sale of the Bible in vast quantities; the response to Bible study groups in local churches, in homes, in camps and retreats; the enthusiastic response to lay witness missions. The Christian churches have always been, and continue to be, deeply concerned with, the development of the spiritual life of prayer, worship, and service is basic to Christian discipleship, for such practices are essential to growth in holiness and obedience. The various Christian denominations may differ on many points, but they all agree that the Bible is our primary source for understanding the nature and will of God. Through the Bible we may gain understanding both of God's dealings with us (for our salvation, our guidance, our encouragement) and of the way God wants us to live together with our fellow men. | This series of lessons is intended to help Christians of the twentieth century learn to use ' the resources of the Bible for nourishing their devotional lives, both as individuals and as a church. j Remember that these lesson materials should never substitute for reading the Bible. Rather, they should encourage you to turn to the Bible with renewed r)oHinot!rv? 3 * * ..?.vo?vu ama new unaerstanding. The greatest need and truest concern of all Christians is to be led, through the Bible and through the church, to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God as revealed in Jesus Christ. The earnest search for this life-renewing contact with God constitutes the devotional life. Searching the Scripture The Scripture for this lesson is Psalms 63:1-8; Acts 10:1-8, 30-33.

And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter; 6 he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside." 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him, 8 and having related evervthinu tn them, he sent them to Joppa. 30 And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, 31 saying, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.' 33 So I sent to you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."

Psalms 63:1 What the Scripture Says to lis Four characteristics of Cornelius have great value for us. 1. Cornelius "feared" God. The word fear here does not mean terror. It refers to a feeli ing of awe and reverence. Men of faith are not terrorized by a God of mercy, love, compassion, and justice. The phrase "one who fears God" was used to identify a ican, but now you must vote I County, especially the Ne anchise at the polls due to me, many Negroes were deny of the southern states.

FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1972 DOL LESSON gentile who had become a devout worshiper of the Jewish God, though without becoming a Jew (that is, without being circumcised or observing such laws as those about food). Thus Cornelius was a man who honored God and who sought to understand God's will for his life. 2. Cornelius cared for the poor and oppressed people of the land in which he lived. His devotional life was not a substitute for action in the world of human affairs. Biblical writers, both in the Old Testament and in the New, saw almsgiving as an expression of righteousness on the part of God's people. The desirability of showing compassion to the needy and sharing with them out of uui uwh resources was powerxuily emphasized by Jesus in the parable of the good Samaritan. (See Luke 10:25-37.) 3. Cornelius prayed constantly to God. Deliberate worship, with all that it implies concerning the focusing of a man's life on God and his will, was a basic part of this man's life. We may feel sure that he prayed both in private and in the fellowship of other believers. The healthy devotional life is set in the context of a community of worship and worshipers. Only thus can it be saved from the temptation to focus attention on our needs, our wants, our aspirations. 4. Cornelius was obedient to the will of God as he understood it. Here we see the working of a simple but important spiritual principle: We leam| no more of God's will than we are willing to obey. Only as we act on the light we have will the next step become clear. Life Centered in God The Bible reflects the experience of men who longed for deepened fellowship with God. Our memory verse expresses this hunger for fellowship with God in the strongest possible terms. When we turn to the New Testament, we find that though, in the main, the life of Jesus was lived out in the commonplace settings of man's daily life, he did have times of withdrawal. (See, for example, Mark 6:46.) Probably most persons would regard the idea of withdrawal or retreat as a major characteristic of the devotional life. It is a time apart from the world's struggles and problems. To help us think about the nature and value of a rich devotional life, we should consider another and broader definition of it. A person may be said to be living a devotional I (Continued on Paga 3) * V
