ffltBLE l~ M. J SCRIPTURB iMlxh IB: N;M. DEVOTIONAL READING: Roman® 10:1-13. God's Open House LeMon for November 20, 1949 rs IS A WARM chapter, thia 55th of liaiah. Some false ideal about God melt away fast when they are brought clom to it. Let us take a look at some of these notion! and

see how they wilt in the light of God's word. Sometimes these notions are held sincerely, sometimes they are mere excuses to keep from facing God. One of these mistaken notions is the idea that God has two lists; one is a list of people on whom he in-

tends to have mercy, and will save; the other list being a private one. of those on whom he intends to have no mercy and will not save. If your name is on the first list, fine; but if it is on the second list, you are in a hopeless fix; for if God is not going to help you. who can? This Is a terribly wrong notion. It ronfnsee the true God with same sort sf sultan In the sky who baa a "social register” of persons he will admit to his palace. "Use this Invitation as your card of admittance.” No, it is nut al ail like Mat. If you really think that admission to heaven is by card only, then cut out Isaiah M and present it at the gate. Cut out any verse in the Bible that says "Whosoever,”— John 3:10 for example—end present that God keeps open house, he does not employ butlers or strong-arm men to keep out the crowds, he wants all to come who will. Do you waal God? Then come. Are you thirsty for the living water? Then drink. It is as simple as that. e e e No Waiting THERE is ANOTHER notion that keeps people away from God. It is a kind of shyness. It Is the feeling that maybe tt isn’t any use hunting for God. It is the feeling a boy has when he is lost in the woods and has about made up his mind that there is no use in walking any more, he will just sit down and wait till somebody finds him. It is the feeling that God may be sensitive and iorse'l want people coming bet her Ing him. It Is the notion that if God wants me, he will knock me down and drag me where he wanla me to be. A man with a notion like that, of course, isn't likely to meet with God. He spend. his life paying God no attention whatever, not even thinking about him, perhaps. He may even go as far as be can from the Father's house, believing that God’s long arm, like the long arm of the F B I. or the Mounties, will reach after him and get him in ease God ever wants him. Now this is a ridiculous idea and a bad one too. Isaiah would not think it true for a minute. "Seek ye the Lord," he says. "Call on God . . . return to the Lord.” "Incline your ear and come!” This means you—if you will. But if you won't. God will not force you. He forces no man. He wants willing obedience. loving service, not slavery. God will have no chain on you but the chain of love. God keeps an open house, not a prison farm. • • • No House Os Horrors ANOTHER WRONG NOTION, tor which, alas, many a church member is partly responsible, is the notion that the nearer we get to God. the gloomier we shall be. , All the talk about sacrifice and suffering for others, such as we were thinking of last week, all the emphasis in the church on the death of Christ, all the solemnity of most church services, make people think: "God may be al! right for solemn people, but not fat me; f like life with a smile.” Now that to just another mistaken notion. The very persons who know the deeper meanings of sacrifice see joat toe prim who don't like ta me that word about tfeevnsetves. In fact, tt could be said that tn general ft io only Christians who have a right to be gay.
