can do. Think what it means to be wrong with God' That means to be out of harmony with his will, going "across the grain of reality" as the old Greeks used to say. To be wrong with God means to be a rebel against

reality, to have the power of the universe working against you. and so to be headed for sure destruction. Wrong with God, you cannot win. Right with God. you cannot lose To be right with God means ; to be in line with the purpose that | runs through all things; it means , in the simple language of the Bible, to live as a child of God. • • • Mule or Man? rpHERE are two ways tn which man can come Into line, so to speak, with God One is by being whipped into ft. and the other is by a free act of will. The poet of the 32nd Psalm begs his readers not to be like mules or colts 1 (Ps. 32:9). These animals can be broken and controlled by their mas- 1 ters. But they do not understand what is going on. and if left to themselves they would never serve. They have to be caught, harnessed and driven. But God does not want to treat human beings like that. Getting right with God Is not i business of getting Into harness, being beaten Into wafting on the right road. That is not God's way. He pleads with us through his inspired poet: Be not as mules—be men! Facing Up to Yourself THE short good Bible word for being wrong with God is Sin. The very first step toward being right with God is to see yourself as you are. No one ever went to a doctor till he at least suspected he was sick. No one ever went to school of his own accord who thought he knew everything. And no one will come to God who thinks he is as good as he needs to be When life goes hard with us. when everything ■bout our life seems twisted and rotten, we make ail sorts of excuses for ourselves, we lay the blame on our parents or our friends of the social and economic system in which we live (doubtless all these have a share in creating our troubles). but we bate to look at ourselves in the mirror of truth. This comes first: recognising eur own wrongness, not just weakness but wrongness. When we reach the point where we can say with the Psalmist. "Create In me a clean heart. O God. and renew a right spirit within me,** then we are on the right road. • • • • Hide Thy Face” THERE are two things we never hear about in the Bible. One is that God never forgave anyone who did not repent, and the other is that he refused to forgive any one who did repent But repentance is not merely regretting that a wrong was done: still less regretting being caught Repentance, the kind the Bible describes <as in these Psalms for example*, means a complete change of attitude. It means coming over on God's side and seeing sin the way he sees it. seeing life the way he sees it God's forglvearso Is not of the grudging, remembering, reminding kind. Bat condoning and forgiving are still a world apart. Condoning means saying In effect. It is all right. It makes no difference, you can’ go on sinning for all I care. Some human "forgiveness” may be like that, but not God's. His forgiveness is based on real repentance. and the aim of it is to save the sinner from his sin. • so Plenteous in Mercy THE Psalmists saw clearly what kind of God we have. He is not like the bolder of a mortgage waiting till the first time some payment is deferred gives him a chance to pounce down and evict his tenant. We are not criminals against whom God is a prosecuting attorney, try- 1 ing to pile up evidence against us •If thou shouMest mark Iniquities, who shall stand?” We are children, lost and wandering children, rebel lioua and disobedient children, but i still children; and God bolds open the door ei mercy. iCopvrght SV IM tawmatioeil Cbus ! ts 'EM
