possible. In the same manner I pointed out to the scientist something- that no one can explain. How God can take sin-broken sinners and make them whole again is beyond human compre hension. Often by asking a auestion which will make a person think about his soul, his heart and his life, is a means of opening the conversation on eternal THE FELLOW CALLED I It is my endeavor, to be patient and kind. When I see imperfection in a brother of mine, For I see in myself much room to improve; As I search my own heart, and watch every move. I want to forbear, forbearance I need, And don't judge me harshly, your mercy I plead, Expect not from others that thing you can't do; And do unto others, as if unto you. If you can't conform to the Bible my brother, It's useless to try, to conform then another, We can't always tell, when we look and we sigh, For it is not always YOU but often it's I. The moral of this story I'm sure you can see, Before you judge others, take a good look at ME. It will save you much trouble, on your way to the sky; If often you judged the fellow called I. matters. It is such a wonderful thing to deal with souls. Know the person to whom you are talking. If it is a re ligious person use one kind of a lang uage. If he is very irreligious and doesn’t go to church at all, use a dif ferent kind of language. Pray that the Lord will give you his perfect wisdom for the purpose which He always bless es, for remember, “He that winneth souls is wise!”
THE TWO DEFINITIONS Wrong is wrong, even if everybody does it. And in God’s sight, right is right even if nobody does it. Man may call sin an accident, but God calls it an abomination. Man calls sin a blun der, God calls it a choice. Man calls sin a defect, God calls it a disease. Man calls sin an error, God calls it enmity. Man calls sin fascination, God calls it fatality. Man calls sin an infirm ity, God calls it iniquity. Man calls sin a luxury, God calls it leprosy. Man calls sin liberty, God calls it lawlessness. Man calls sin a trifle, God calls it a tragedy. Man calls sin a mistake, God calls it madness. Man calls sin weak ness, God calls it wilfullness. “ There fore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” * Too many people want only to be made well; rather than to have the Great Phy sician make them whole. ACTIVE FOR THE LORD A ll too many believers, while they know they have the Saviour, don’t fu l ly and intimately know the Saviour whom they have. One such person de clared that he wanted the Lord to be his “constitutional king.” In other words, while he would pay Him hom age, yet this individual was reserving the right to be the prime minister of his own life and affairs. A pastor was once asked how many members he had in his church. He responded by say ing, “I have a thousand.” W ith such a large number he was asked if they were all active. Smiling he replied af firmatively, “Why, of course! One hun dred are active for the Lord and the other 900 are active for the devil!” In which camp do we find ourselves? On the side of the Saviour, willing to do His bidding, or are we merely passive ly interested in the things of Christ?” “Choose you this day whom ye w ill serve!” 8 * *
