of living as befits those who have been called out of darkness into the marvelous light of the Lord’s kingdom. III. T h e E xhortation (1 Pet. 4:1-5) The believer belongs to another world, and has other passions, other delights, and other purposes, than the present world possesses. In the measure in which other worldly desires are sought, the believer will be delivered from this world’s pas sions and desires. Hence all self-indulgence is to be put away, not only respecting strong drink, but also all the other desires of the flesh, whether for clean or vile things. By this forsaking of all things for Christ’s sake, the believer will enter ever more fully into the joy of his Lord. Samaria " (Amos 6:1). This passage con stitutes a solemn warning to many in our own country today who, in the face of an almost complete breakdown of international security, are trusting in the mere physical resources of America instead of looking to the God of heaven. 2. "Pass ye unto Calneh, and see " (v. 2). The prophet invites these rulers of Israel, who were trusting in their own de vices, to consider the fate of other nations. In other words, let them learn from the les sons of history. 3. “Ye that put far away the evil day " (v. 3). This is a picture of a certain reck less optimism which is prevelant in our own day. No intelligent person imagines for a moment that moral and economic laws can be ignored and broken with impunity. They know perfectly well that we shall reap whatever we sow, that we cannot squander our resources without coming at last to a terrible day of reckoning. But, they argue, it will not come in our day. Let us eat, drink, and be merry today. Never mind the future generations. They will have to solve their own problems. And much of this is said in the name of “social progress.” 4. “That . . . eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves ” (v. 4). This im provident action, with its callous disregard for the future, horrified the prophet. But we today have improved even upon the reckless rulers of Amos’ day, by killing the little pigs and using them for fertilizer! 5. “That chant to the sound of the viol” (v. 5). The English “chant” certainly mis represents the Hebrew verb, which has been variously translated as “prattle,4 or “jabber," or “quaver.44 They did not have radios in that day, but evidently they must have had some of the same kind of “noise” that today is an insult both to the intellect and the emotions. The modern “crooner” is obviously an ancient evil, the natural ac companiment of minds inflamed with wine. Points and Problems l | 4T hat.. .trust in the mountain of
Peter, the Holy Spirit exhorts believers to show forth the virtues of the Lord. Now He beseeches them to behave in such a fashion that those virtues will be seen. He exhorts them on the basis of what they are as believers: strangers (as to position) and pilgrims (as to practice). The proper response to such exhortation as the one contained in this passage is self' denial, that is, the abstaining from fleshly desires that war against the soul. The true believer has his eyes upon the unseen, his affections are centered upon heavenly things, and his efforts are directed toward the making of these things real in his ex perience. Believers are to be honest among others —so much so that others will be forced to give glory to God as they behold the be lievers’ manner of life. While we believe in, and teach, the importance of grace, without which nothing can be received from God, nevertheless we must not over look the consistent Christian practice that grace inspires. We should use this lesson to impress upon pupils the great importance U A R T E R S CHOIR GOWNS PULPIT ROBES • EMBROIDERIES HANGINGS • STOLES • VESTMENTS ALTAR APPOINTMENTS COMMUNION SERVICE NEW CATALOG on Request NATIONAL ACADEMIC CAP &GOWN CO; 821-23 ARCH ST.
