THE LIVING WORD AND THE | WRITTEN WORD ARE ONE \ “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. * * * * And the Word was i made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth” ; (John 1:1, 14). You cannot trifle with the Word of God without trifling with God the Son. You cannot deny the Writ- V ten Word, without denying the Living Word,—the A Son. This is a foundation and fundamental truth. The Living Word set His seal to the Written Word, [/ as recorded in Luke 24:27 and 44: “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things con- ] cerning himself. * * * And he said unto them, These are I the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet w ith you, I that all things must' be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, con- 1 cerning me.” “ The Law of Moses,” , “ the Prophets” and “ the Psalms” embody the whole of the Old Testament writ ings. The Bible is inspired and sealed by this testi mony of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you can break these statements of His you can undermine the faith upon which the church has been founded. Who are you who dare to question the words of the Lord from Heaven on His way back to Heaven? The Modernist modifies and changes the Word of God to fit his own theories. The evolutionist, without a | single iota of definite proof for.his theory, makes light of the Word of God and speaks in pitying terms of the “ ignorance of the well-meaning men of God who wrote the Old Testament.” The infidel stands between the two with his Satanic “ shooter” and is brother to both. The Word stands as immovable against the assaults of its enemies as the Eock of Gibraltar against the puny shots from a toy gun. But, alas, alas, many poor deluded souls are led away into the darkness of des pair, and many of them will live and die without hope and spend eternity in the outer darkness where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Listen to John, the Beloved:
“Who Is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.” (1 John 2:22, 2 3 ). What, then, is the duty of every true believer? Expose these deceivers ! Let the light of the glory of God shine upon them through the unimpeachable Word of God, which is the Word of light and life. What we need is men and women who are regen erated by the Word of God and in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, who will give themselves to the present- day task of giving out the Word of Life and the fruit age will he the proof of its life-giving power. THE BEST BUSINESS What is the best business in all the world? Why, business for the King of kings, of course. Some people have criticized us for using the word “ King,” but it is Scriptural and logical. Our Lord is the Supreme Sovereign. He is the Ruler. He holds the sceptre. He commands our love and our allegiance. So the best business is His business, and that is the business which we are seeking to promote in this magazine. We are doing our best to make The King’s Business a Christian _Home Magazine, with something helpful and interesting to every member of the family, old and young, and if you could read the letters that come to us from fathers and mothers, young men and women and the little folks, too, you would be more convinced than ever that we were succeeding. Take this copy of the magazine and run your eyes over the contents, noting every department from the Contributed Articles to The Children’s Garden, and then think of the real results that might eventuate if it could be in every Christian home in the land. Some would he brought to confess Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, as has already been done. Many would be strengthened in their loyalty to our Lord. Others would be inspired to go forth as heralds of the cross in obedience to the call of Christ, “ Follow Me—go— give.” We are asking you, as a member of The King’s Busi ness Family, to help us in our effort to help others.
