GIVING TO GOD Rev. J. R. Meadows People do not go to church be- ! cause they are unwilling to pay the price of what a sincere worship of God will exact of them. For we go to church primarily to acknow- ’ ledge our utter dependance upon God, and to express our gratitude to Him for all the wonderous works that He has done unto man. We do not go just to get from God, but to give God somethinggive Him our love, our devotion, our very lives. We go to present unto Him “ourselves, our souls, our bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto Him." We go to face I God in that one place, where we | may be certain that He is peculiarly and specially present. We face Him in our unworthiness ADAMS COUNTY Farm Bureau Co-op Everything in Farm Supplies Berne - Williams - Monroe Pleasant Mills - Geneva GAY’S MOBIL SERVICE 13th and Monroe St. Phone 3-3609 Brieile Studio formerly , EDWARDS STUDIO 202 S.

and need, most grateful that He hath not “rewarded us according to our sins, nor visited us according to our iniquities,” knowing ■ that the sincerity of our humility is met by His gracious loving kindness and tender mercy. And to the sincere and contrite heart seeking Him in worship, God does come and fill the emptiness of our hearts with the graciousness of His love, and our enfeebled lives with the strength and power of His Holy Spirit.

Material: Obadiah; Jonah 1 and X Der.Uoaal Banding: Fmlia «J:1-R I Goiig AgaiistGod I Leaaou for September 6, 1989 YOU WOULD never think that such a fool lived on earth aa to try to go against God. But there . not only have been such fools, there are such nowadays, and I you and I, dear Reader, may be two of them. Look at the testimony of the Bible; look around you in

the church and the world; look into your own heart; and you may be convinced. Yea, in the church and in the ’ world; for even God’s own people go against him, as fractious chil-

Iren kick and scream when their mother is trying to do them good. Consider the cases of Obadiah and Jonah. Obadiah is a little 2-page "book” mostly about the sins of Edomites, who were enemies of God’s people to start with. Jonah is all about the sins of Jonah, one of God's prophets. The curious fact is that both the Edomites and Jonah were guilty of the same kinds of sins. Both worked against God. Pride The Edomites as a nation, at the time of Obadiah, were a proud people. They had wealth, they had power, they occupied a territory where an invading army had scarcely a chance. Being proud, they could not believe that any evil would ever touch them. They were immune, serene, never to be conquered. They had defied men; they were prepared to defy God. Jonah the prophet also was proud. He was so proud, so sure he knew what to do and when to do it, that when God told him to go preach to Nineveh, he not only did not go but he paid the fare for a long sea voyage in the exactly opposite direction, to Tarshish. The peak and center and symptom of the sin of pride is this conviction, “God doesn’t know best; I do!” VlelMM —— — The prophet Obadiah condemns Edom, in the name of God, for their violence in war against their “brother Jacob,” meaning Israel. We all object loudly to violence in war when somebody else is doing it. From the days of Grant and Sherman, whose names are not yet revered in the land that sorely felt their violence, to these perilous times when we can’t say enough against the Russian rocketeers, the victims of violence don’t like it. The thing the Japanese did to us at Pearl Harbor we did to them, only more so. We didn’t like it when they did it; they didn’t like it when we did it But it is not only "godless” nations that love violence. God-fear-ing individuals may be found shrieking “Kill him!” Jonah the prophet (to get into next week’s story a little) was not content with preaching as the Lord commanded. He wanted to see Nineveh bum, and was bitterly disappointed when the fireworks did not go off. “Ysr Stood Aloof” A careful study of Obadiah Illi shows that what Edom did to Israel was not so much actual attack, as it was just standing by and doing nothing, or cheering on the armies which did the fighting. The Edomites were the looters, the camp-followers of the main enemy. They did comparatively little actual damage themselves, but they were pleased to, see it dona Jonah likewise kept himself aloof from Nineveh and Ninevitea He did not encourage their repentance, he did not like it. He evidently thought the only good Ninevite was a dead one, not a repentant one. He could not put himself in .heir place. He could sympathize with God's anger, but not with his mercy. The 120,000 babies of Nineveh meant something to God; nothing to Jonah. •As You Have Done—” God plays no favorites. Going igainst him is complete folly, it is absolute sin. If God had no use for violence, pride and selfish aloofaese in the time of the prophets, has he changed today 7 Is America such a favorite nation with God that all our own pride and violence can go unnoticed by the Almighty ? "As you have done, it shall be done' to you” echoes down the ages as a warning to aIL Wind is the Med of whirlwind. ST. LUKE Evangelical and Reformed Honduras Louis C.

The British liner Athenia was torpedoed off the Irish coast. All aboard, including 314 Americans, were rescued except those killed in the explosion. German troops smashed deeper into Poland, and France and Britain started action against the Nazis. Three boys were fined and given suspended sentences of one year after pleading guilty in circuit court to breaking into the Harry Crownover home south of Decatur. Jack McFeely, 61, former Decatur man, died at Fort Wayne, where he had been a city firemen for 25 years. Willshire Youth Is Given Jail Sentence Ivan Hurless, 21, of Willshire, 0., received a 90-day jail sentence and S2OO and costs fine on a charge of petit larceny in Van Wert city court today, after he failed to appear earlier last week to be sentenced. He forfeited the S2OO posted bond because of his failure to appear. Judge William Harrington suspended 70 days from the jail sentence and $l5O of the fine and put Hurless on a two-year probation. Hurless had been serving a 30day term in the Adams county jail on a petit larceny conviction in city court recently. He failed to appear in Van Wert court to answer the other charge, because he was being held here for public intoxication and petit larceny, when caught rifling cars. In Ohio he had stolen 30 cases of empty beer bottles. Ohio authorities, however, requested of the Adams county sheriff that the. remainder of Hurless’ time here be waived. County prosecutor Severin H. Schurger prepared the document, and Hurless was released only to be picked up by the Van Wert police. In addition to serving 20 days in the Van Wert county jail, paying of the action, forfeiting the bond of S2OO and paying $l5O fine, Hurless was placed on 3 strict good behavior probation for two years, during which time he must not enter the state of Indiana without the permission of the judge, must attend the church of his choice regularly, and must not drink intoxicating beverages.
