Christian Courage Lesson for April 11, 1954

THERE is an old notion that Fear is the mother of Religion, No one who knows the tacts can think of fear as the mother of the Christian religion. For the earliest Christians were among the bravest of men. Their critics, their opponents, even their persecutors, wondered at their courage. It was not as if they slowly gained cour-

age* through the years, each generation a little brav* er than before. From the very beginning, the followers and friends of Christ had the two kinds of courage, moral and physical: moral, to stand up against

contempt, ridicule and slander; and physical, to stand out against pain and death, all with faith unshaken. Minority Broop Many persons are physically brave but have little or no moral courage. Some psychologists think that moral courage is more difficult and rarer than the other kind. Be that as it may, we know the earliest Christians had plenty of it (This was after the coming of the Spirit of course.) One of the hard things to stand up against is just being in a minority all the time. Some people, to be sure, can't bear to be in a minority any of the time if they can help it. They will not ride in any vehicle but a bandwagon. They count noses before they make up their minds. They think that ethics can be settled by arithmetic,—that is to say, that whatever most people think is right, must be right The early Christians knew better. They were always in the minority. Around them crowded the masses of people in the great Roman Empire all of whom worshipped other gods. Back in Jerusalem the Christians were a larger proportion of the population than anywhere else; but aven there they were in a despised minority. But these pioneer Christian* knew •'ond wfih God U a : .jnalPri>n7t They were far less interested in being with the biggest crowfl than in standing for Truth. Slaader l Another thing that is hard to stand up against, is being misrepresented. maligned, slandered. Jesus said, "Blessed are you when men . . . utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” This saying must have come to the minds of the first Christian* many a time. For they were accused of being crazy, of lying, of being (as we would say) subversive, of being disturbers of the peace, lawless men in general. Even when a man knows his own innocence, it hurts him to be thought guilty. Even today, in most communities the real Christians —those who take their faith seriously and honestly try to live by it,—are in a minority. People who simply try to live by the New Testament will be called ."starry-eyed,” impractical, if they are not called worse names. Christian* who take their religion seriously enough to see that otir world needs to be changed in many ways if God's will is to be done on earth, will be called "radicals” and despised if not feared. What is said (for example) by many other young people, about teen-agers who take seriously Christ’s ideal of chastity? What is said by business men about | businessman who tries to be Christian in all his relationships? What 1* said by politicians about h statesman—congressman, senator or even President —who is bold enough to try to be Christian in national or international policy? Some fine Christian Americans have been called traitors simply because they were Christian., Preunrti Persecution 1* a special kind of pressure, which is to be the topic of next week’* study. But short of positive persecution, there are various pressures which, if not boldly resisted, push Christians off God’s highway. The very first Christians felt the pressure of public opinion, of the law, nd doubt of the loss of friendship with those who had formerly been close to them. They would not have felt these pressures if they had done one simple thing: keep their faith to themselves. A Christian who never lets any one know he is a Christian is never called on for courage; A Christian who ceases to be one under pressure will have no trouble, maybe, in this world ... but in the next? Then he will discover the shame of knowing that Christ is ashamed of him.

Do Your Best For God | Rev. J. R. Meadows I Sometimes we look at some one else and wish we had what that person has, or could do what that person can do. Some one plays the piano well, and We wish we could do that, too. Sometimes a person Xvith little money may look at some one with more and be jealous of that person. To be sure, every person cannot do the same things equally well. Some people are simply stronger than others physically. Some people have more artistic ability than do others. Some people have’good voices for singing while others "can’t carry a tune.” Some people do have more money than others. But just because this is so does not mean that we should not make the best of the abilities we do have. , God has given every one of us certain gifts and our great danger is that we will hot appreciate and use those gifts to God's glory. The very person we think is so much more fortunate than we are may
