Ehe 1 Ml ■l3 Sh f! lij.j ffiM l-ia-tf. ture: Act ” as * 2B: PhiUppiana Reading: Phlllpplaua A Flame In Chains . i . Lesson for May 10, 1953 yOU can keep a dog on a leash * but not a flame. Passing a handcuff over a fire is no way to keep it where you want it. Now the man Paul was more like a flame than most men are. Some men are like lumps of clay. They stay where they are put and they never give trouble —and never amount Jo anything. Others are like Are. They have a life of their own, they can be terribly dangerous or wonderfully helpful. Paul was like this; he had been a kind of devil when he was persecuting good Christians. Now he was a missionary, an extremely successful one; but

He had got inDr. Foreman

still a man of Are. to trouble with the authorities; had been 'through a series of trials;, had appealed to the Imperial court, highest in the Empire: and had been sent as a prisoner to Rome. For at least two years (some say for the

rest of his life) he never was ■ free man in Rome. And still all the time s he was preaching, testifying, just winning .friends for Jesus. You can’t chain a living flame. ’ * * Strange Answers The story of Paul and bow he got to Rome has at three messages for us today, ©ne is this: God sometimes answers our prayers in strange ways. As we know from Paul’s letters, he had had a visit toißome in mind for a |ong time (Romans 15:23). It was the capital of the great Eppire; the church founded there was destined to have great influence. Pau) ge< -* Christians there the most and complete letter he ever wrote. God answered Paul’s prayers and hopes, and so Paul in time reached Rome; but not at all as he had hoped. He was a prisoner; the outcome of his trial in Roms Was uncertain, and if heylost his 4ase. it meant death. You would have thought Paul’s mind would be Shadowed by foreboding; but it Was not. He realized that his prayers had been answered, and he did not grumble that they*had npt been answered as he might havd expected. So when we think our prayers have not even been heard, we might look around us; perhaps they are already answered In some |ay altogether a* surprise. No Prison for the Word Tradition says that Paul was. acquitted at his Roman trial, but was arrested again soma years later. At any rate, from a Roman prison he wrote his young friend Timothy (as Moffatt translates it) "There is no prison for the Word of God.’’ (II Tim. 2:9.) That is the second message from Paul’s experiences as a prisoner. Meq can 5e imprisoned, tortured, killed; but the Word of God goes op, and On. If the Christian Religion had been no more than a set of notions, it would have died a natural death centuries ago. That Christianity has lived is one of the evidences that it is true, ft is a obmfort to remember this today. People get discouraged abdut the shurch in China, in Poland, in Hungary and Bulgaria and Russia. It is certainly a fact' that Christians have a hard time in (those places; but it is also a fact ||hat there atv Christians there and some of them will not give their faith. • • • Nothing Need Shut dur Mouths When Marlin Niemoeller was | prisoner, absolutely not allowed |o walk |n the. yard even, nor tc Associate with other prisoners, because as a Christian ipinister he bad dared to say "No!” to Hitler, be used to sit at his cell window which was near the yard, and listen to the men as they went by. One of these used to repeat a verse of Scripture aloud every day and Niemoeller would hear it and fake it as a message from his friends, and from God. Tfcere is another Story about a Japanese guard tc charge of American prisoners, some of whom sang Christian hymns. He knew» one English word: Jesus. Whispering- this name, he used to bring the men medicines and things they heeded even at risk to his own life. If 1U is impossible for a prisoner or for a guard in a war-prison, surely the most unlikely of all places, tc let himself be known as a Christian, is it likely that anything need shut our mouths? To speak a good word for Jesus is not always easy; but It is never Imoossible. Spiritual health in the home P ro ’ duces lasting happiness.' 4 ' The real problem of marriage is that of the uurcgcucrate heart.
