Living For
Christ Through His
Church in
the World
By
Gerald Cowan
There are
no Christians outside the church. The Lords adds one to the church
when they are saved (Acts 2:41-47). Although the church is not of
the world it is certainly in the world. The gospel of Christ is to
be preached because that message alone brings us the
salvation
that is in Christ (James 1:21-22, Luke 18:11). Some claim, “one
church is as good as another.” But that is no truer than saying
one Lord or one Savior or one religious book is as good as another.
God’s
eternal purpose for the church and each member of it includes
edification, setting an example that others can safely follow,
perpetuation of the word, and opposition to all error in doctrine and
practice.
Our
Threefold obligation to the world is: teach it, save it, bring the
peace of God to it. Our threefold obligation to the church itself
is: edify and strengthen it, protect its purity, and preserve unity
and peace in it. (Selected)

No Time
Today
By
Frances Johnson
I haven’t
time today, dear Lord, tomorrow I’ll give to Thee.
So Many
things, so much to do, today I must work for me.
I know I
promised this day, Lord, but something has changed my plans.
The car
needs washing, the yard’s a mess, and I need to see a man.
So sorry,
dear Lord, had a call just now, some relatives ion town you see,
Tomorrow
I’ll make it up to you. Tomorrow I’ll give Thee.
Tomorrow—it
never seems to come,
The work of
the Lord is left undone.
If troubles
should come to us today,
Suppose the
Lord turned His face away?
He might
ignore our earnest plea
With words
familiar in our ears could ring,
“Today I’m
so busy with other things,
Tomorrow,
dear One, I might listen to Thee.

Psa. 119:103
(103) how
sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my
mouth!
(104) Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.
(105) Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
