GUA a I Only the Living God is worthy of worship One of the most familiar passages in all the Bible is a set of laws commonly called the Ten Commandments. Although people almost unanimously agree that the Ten Commandments are good rules to live by, it is hard to find someone who can tell you what they are, far less repeating them in order or knowing where to find them in the Bible. I first learned them when I was in confirmation 35 years ago, but it wasn't until recent years that I really began to understand their significance. Like most peo- ple, the Ten Commandments were more like the Ten Suggestions to me, since I didn't see their relevance as I tried to superimpose them on my lifestyle. It was on- ly as I exposed my life to the great truths of these com- mands reveal that they began to make a difference. Dr. E. Stanley Jones wrote, "You can't break the Ten Commandments; you can only break your lives on them." If these laws are dealing with truth, then the consequences of ignoring them are unavoidable. Let's look at the First Commandment: "I am the Lord your God...you shall have no other gods before me." This commandment deals with a basic human gift: worship. It is a basic fact of anthropology that ev- erybody worships. There is basically no such thing as an atheist. Some people claim to be, but actually they are only atheists in the religious sense. If you ask an atheist to describe the god he/she doesn't believe in, you will usually: discover that what they are rejecting is an inadequate image of the True and Living God. Horatio Bonar stated that all atheism stems from two sources: a good impression of self, and a poor im- age of God. If you watch someone long enough, you will find out sooner or later what their god is. Webster's defines a god as the supreme object of our devotion. Dr. D. Elton Trueblood defines six basic cat- egories where humanity finds a god to worship: Letters To The Editor "REFLECTIONS on Religion and Life ® Rev. Harold Schwantes | Pastor ‘Central United Methodist Church wealth, fame, pleasure, power, knowledge and the Living God. Everybody worships something. Thus, the job of the missionary is not so much to inform people that there is a God as it is to help people discover the True and Living God. Worship is a basic drive in our lives, and like all drives, you cannot destroy it: you can try, but you will only divert it. One way or another everyone is going to have a god. After the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur banned the practice of the religion of Shintoism because of its stringent teachings on nation- alism and the worship of the Emperor. In the next few years, 440 new religions were developed in Japan to replace Shintoism. Everybody worships! John wrote in shisigospel,.iThereiis a TrueLight that lights everyone o that comes into the.world. That Light is Jesus Christ, ithe revelation of the True and Living God." : ; The First Commandment reminds us of the basic truth that everybody worships. Commandment is instructing us to be sure that we make God, who is the Author and the Fulfillment of all life, the supreme object of our devotion. Any other god will fail us in the long run. And there are more than enough examples around of broken lives that tried to ignore this truth. re— To the editor: Patsy Rountree, KM District Schools' Director of Child Nutrition, does a great job of coordinating the meal programs of our area schools. However, the fears that she expressed last week (regarding the future of the school meals program) need to be examined with a bit more realistic optimism. Under the proposed federal legislation, the amount of monies allocated to the school meal program re- flects a 4.5% increase, even more than stipulated in the President's own budget (a 3.1% increase). The proposal does not in any way end the federally assisted school meals program (as so many are fond of saying), but rather transfers the implementation of the program from Washington, DC to each individual state. Mrs. Rountree says that giving our state the respon- sibility of administering NC's share of the school meal allocation "...would end a poor child's guarantee to a free or reduced-price school lunch or breakfast..." Why is there such a fear that those in Raleigh will not be able to administer this program? Do well really feel that our state legislators will not care for our own state's children as deeply as Washington does? Do our local school personnel honestly think that our state Established 1889 Published Thursday at East King Street at Canterbury Road, Kings Mountain, North Carolina 28086, Bob Rop Publisher Darrell Austin ..

Box 769, Kings Mountain, NC 28086 USPS 931-040, by Republic Newspapers, Inc.-2nd Class postage paid in Kings Mountain §- State capable of administering lunch program representatives would risk political suicide by decid- ing, "we really don't care about our school children; let them go hungry!" It seems to me to be illogical to fear that our own state government would not have either the intelli- gence or the commitment to implement the best possi- ble meal program possible for our young people. I be- lieve that such unfounded fear does not originate from hard workers in the field (such as our able cafeteria - managers), but rather is subtly, and effectively, dis- pensed from those whose real fear is losing the federal control that they long enjoyed. With Mrs. Rountree in charge, my daughter and her peers will always have nutritional meals offered at school; and with our state receiving more than it ever has for the purpose of school meal assistance, I am confident that not one needy child in our area would be unserved.
