Q . Pueblo, Colorado — “I ’m a church member and attend services. A t times God is very close to me when I say my prayers but at other times I feel THE STRANGE THINGS Some things my Father sends me, I cannot understand; Some things that He allows me, Seem strange, as from His hand. The frequent wounds and bruises, That bring me inward pain, Seem nought to me but losses, Without a trace of gain. No gain? Ah, I'd forgotten My Father's faithful word, That all things work for ^blessing. To them that love the Lord. So now I take the "strange "things," That He is pleased to send, As blessings, shaped and tempered. By His own loving hand. — L. W. Beckley like I ’m just saying words. Why should this be?” A. Are you attending services where r If you are not receiving copies of the BROADCASTER monthly, you may have them come to your home or office automatically by being a member of the Biola Fellowship. This is a group of faithful donors who invest monthly in the distinctive ministries of the Bible Institute of Lbs Angeles, Inc. Specific monthly amounts are not set; this is a matter between you and the Lord. In maintaining this 53 year old work for the Saviour, we have found that faithfulness on the part of God’s stewards is the important thing. You are invited to become co-laborers with us in this vital testimony. The invest ment you make will bring you this publication monthly, hereafter, without your request. If you are already a member of the Fellowship and have received an extra Name Address
the Gospel is being preached? That would be the first point. Sometimes feelings enter into our prayer life. God is always faithful, however, even though we fluctuate in our love for Him. Sin may have crept in. David said, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” So if we are sincere and our hearts are right before the Lord, regardless of how we feel about it, we should pray and we can rest assured that the Lord will hear and answer our prayers ac cording to His own perfect will. Q . Kansas City, Missouri— “Is there any Scriptural foundation for h e l p i n g financially any relatives in need, or should we give all of our tithes to the church?”
A. A church preaching the Gospel needs financial support, as well as in every other way, from its faithful members. This should not run coun ter, nor does it obviate our obligation, to help relatives in need. As for verses, consider Galatians 6:10, James 2:15, and I John 3:17.
