DcvtUaaal Raadlafi Galatians S; 12-25. ■ Christian Freedom Lesson for October 27, 1957 LIFE would be simpler if it were all in clear black-and-white. There is no mistaking one for the other. Daylight and dark can’t be eonfused. But twilight "ia confused and confusing. There are some actions, some ways of living, which are evidently and undeniably good: there are others which are just

as plainly bad. (Quoting again from Billy Sunday: "If a man starts arguing with you that stealing isnl) a sin, don't argue with him — search him!”) But there are

many problems Dr - Foreman in living which can't be solved by simple rule. There are many actions about which sincere Christians may differ, some saying Do, others saying Don’t. < Twilight Zoo* In the twilight zone are many actions, or proposed actions, which are really unprecedented. The Bible says nothing about them, even the state’s legal code may not mention them. One day a woman threw a whiskey bottle at the door of England’s prime minister. She was arrested and fined. But she said to the judge: “I'll be back with another bottle. The government is throwing hydrogen bombs, and throwing bottles is nothing near so wicked as that. This is my protest against the wickedness of the H-Bomb.” Well, It is certainly against the law to throw bottles. It’s not against the law to experiment with H-bombs. But many people would feel the woman was right, no carload of glass bottles can dfe a small part of the harm that one H-bomb can do. But it's in the twilight zone. More simple, personal matters are also in the twilight zone. Is it right or wrong for a Christian to attend the theater? to read a Book of fiction? to use tobacco? to drink wine, beer, whiskey. |in? Christians are not unanimous in their verdicts. Abating Frttdom We can gat a good deal of light on at least part of the twilight zone, by reading Paul, and the Gospels. Paul gives us a guiding line which can appeal only to Christians; but for Christians it is a strong directive. At Corinth, for example, there was a peculiar sort of twilight-zone problem, the question of meat that had been offered to idols. In every Greek butcher shop there were cuts of beef, veal, lamb and so forth, just as in our super-markets, only of course much less sanitary. When the 20th-century housekeeper goes shopping for a steak, she does not inquire how the cow died. Presumably it was killed by some ono paid for doing such things. But there is nothing religious a boat a slaughter-house. In Corinth, in the First Century, on the contrary, the cow from whose dead body the steak was taken, very likely had died in a religious ceremony, killed in sacrifice on altars dark with blood and black with fire and smoke. After the ceremony in the temple, most of the dead animal would be taken and sold in the market-place . . . and so find its way to the tables of the ladies of Corinth. The problem was: Could a Christian eat steaks and chops from animals slaughtered in heathen religious rites? It was a twilight-zone question. Many Corinthians were saying, “Certainly I can eat without sin. Idolatry is bad, but if a cow breathed her last in an idol's temple, that doesn’t infect the roast beef with sin!” Using Freedom

Walt a minute, Paul says In effect, when they ask him about this. You are free, to be sure. This particular twilight-zone thing is not a sin. Eating such meat is not an approval of idolatry at all. But suppose some weaker brother knows what you are doing, and concludes that you are approving idol-worship? Then what? Then the question is not any longer, Is this particular act right or wrong? The question for you is. What will be the effect on my brother if I do this thing I am free to do? This brother may be weak, he may even be stupid; but Christ died for him. Are you going to drive back into sin this man for whom Christ died? So it is with many twilight-zone acts today. You may be strong, and free; doing them will not hurt you at all. But what about other people? I am never so free, if I am a Christian, that,l have a right to abuse my freedom by leading some one else into what for him U sin.

SHOULD THEY GO TO There are two schools of thought on the question of whether children* should go to church. Some parents take the view that church services are for adults, and the Sunday School for children. That youngsters should attend'both is expecting too much of them What is more, they will not understand the sermon, and will therefore learn the habit of inattention; they wiH grow up to think of church services as boring. If they go to Sunday School, that is sufficient. ■ Other parents contend that there is nothing like forming a fV. : ;V., V'* : ,; . Habegger Builders & Supply, Inc. Berne. U.

good habit early in life, add , church-going Is a good habit, i When are people to be taught the duty and privilege of worship, if not in childhood? The sermon occupies only about a third of the time of the ordinary service; the rest is taken up with reading, ~ singing, and praying, in which least, participate. They may children may,’ to a degree at even get something out of the sermon, if they keep half an ear open. As for the length of time involved, children sit in school for longer periods day after day. Why should two hours be thought too much just because it’s on Sunday? Take your children to church and thereby fight juvenile delinquency. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE "The fear of the Lord isXhe beginning of wisdom: a goad understanding have ail they that do His commandments; His praise endureth forever."—Psalm 111:10. The peace of the gun and the bayonet is no peace at all. When faith in God is lost, man loses his greatest help. , The purpose of our living is to improve and enrich the living of mankindOther books were given for our information; the Bible was given for our inspiration and transformation.
