OCTOBER 19, 1941 OTHER YOUTH GROUPS IN OUR COMMUNITY 1 J ohn 1 :3-7 By Sterling F. Keyes Introduction During the meeting, constantly keep before your group tbe main facts of the Scripture lesson, namely, that the high est aim and goal of any truly Christian youth organization i? to seek fellowship with “the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ” (v. 3). Any organization, whether it is a youth or an adult, group, with any other goal is doomed’ to fail in meeting the spiritual needs of the young person’s life, no matter how much glamor is seen on the surface. This truth is paramount to the whole lesson. Please do not forget it! Remember that John was the apostle of love. Associated closely with his un shakable dove toward God was his fel lowship with the believers. John associ ated himself with Christians at all times (v. 3). He found that abiding joy (v. 4) came only with deep love and devotion to the Lord, and consequently he shared it with believers. Note likewise that joy is not the only result of this kind of Christian fellow ship. A purer life is realized also, be cause "the bloml of Jesus Christ his Son clganseth us from all sin”' (v. 7). We now “walk in- the light, as he is in the light.” Be sure you pray to God before you lead the group in this challenging topic. For Those Who Have Topics l . PURPOSE OF A GOOD YOUTH ORGANIZATION. 1. Fellowship with God (v. 3). 2. Fellowship with fellow believers (v. 3). 3. A cleaner life (vs. 6, 7). n . HOW THE PURPOSE IS ACCOM PLISHED. * 1. Christians’ walking in the light (v. 7). 2. Gleansing by the blood of Jesus Christ (v. 7). m . RESULTS OF A CHRISTIAN YOUTH ORGANIZATION. 1. The declaring of the program to others. The members will be serving (vs. * 3, 5). 2. Complete joy (v. 4). 3. A vision of God’s holiness (v. 6). 4. Consistent personal life (v. 6). 5. Peaceful living with others (v. 7). For the Leader It would be interesting to lead the group. in selecting ten youth organiza tions with which they are acquainted and in showing the successes or failures of each as measured by the Scripture standard. Choose such groups as you will find in your school, or any sotial club or local Scout organization. Like wise, evaluate your own Christian En-,.
Two Challenging Studies by Ruth Paxson Life on the Highest Plane An Exposition of God’s Plan of Redemption R. A. Torrey described these studies thus: "A remarkable book—one of the most satisfying I have ever read. A book not merely to be read, but to be studied and read again and again.” Three volumes: $1.50 vol.; $4.50 per set The Wealth, Walk and Warfare of the Christian An Exposition of the Epistle to the Ephesians — the Grand Canyon of Scripture A missionary writes: “I do not know when I have read a book so full of inspiration, so elevating, and so full of real spiritual food.” Another mis sionary says: “A book such as this one you have written is a tonic to those who have allowed depression to invade their lives and who perhaps tend to forget what a glorious heritage we have in the unsearchable riches of Christ.” t Price $1.50 Order from the author: HISS RUTH PAXSON 97 Lincoln Pine* North Plainfield, N.
