On To Ruin Lesson for September 18, 1960 UCTICK to the Gospel and leave politics alone,” is advice often given to preachers. Whether it’s good advice depends on what is meant by it. If “Leave politics alone” means that a church should not become a political party, then it is good advice. But if it means

vB VX” al Dr. Foreman

that the preacher must never mention anything so worldly and controversial as housing for the poor, wage levels, dirty politics, dishonest police, ineompetent, judges, or bad leadership in high

places, then “Stick to the Gospel” is bad advice. Upside Down Morsis Not only that, but a preacher shamed or scared into silence about the live issues of his time and community is false to his Bible. The prophets of old were bold preachers. They pointed their fingers at sin wherever they saw it. And when they saw the supposed leaders of their country setting i bad examples, when they saw bad ! foreign policy, when they saw the ! weak oppressed and the shady characters given the medals, the prophets did not pull their punches or preach soothing sermons about heaven. They preached some of their most powerful sermons straight to the top-flight citizens of their time. One of the great evils that Micah (for instance) nailed down, was what we call upside-down morals, preached and practiced by influential people. It is much worse when I such people get twisted-up about right and wrong, than when obscure people do. A bum in a slum can try to tell you that wrong is right and you pay him no attention. But when rich or famous or powerful people take a wrong slant, you get mixed up. You think, "Well, surely a man as smart [or rich, or educated, or successful] as he is, can’t be wrong!” Robbing the People Another evil Micah spoke of sharply and plainly can be called in plain language robbing the people. Unfortunately this can be done sometimes quite legally. This means that a wealthy corporation can get wealthier simply by overcharging the consumer—and overcharge is a polite word for stealing. There is a large area in our southern mountains which for years was bare as the Sahara desert, a desolate desparate sight in the midst of green hills and mountains on all sides. A great corporation was letting copper fumes go out from its chimneys unhindered, killing all green things for miles around. It took a long time before the government stopped that. Another mill, manufacturing asbestos, exposed its employees to asbestosis, an incurable disease of the lungs caused by asbestos lint in the air. Many workers died, but it was all perfectly legal... till Anally the state stepped in and required safety devices that stopped the legal killings. But where was the church? Not a voice was raised, so far as this writer ever heard, against killing either the green countryside or human beings. There were no prophetic preachers, no prophetic churches, to call a spade a spade. Preaching for Money The prophet Micah calls out for judgment another kind of leader who only leads on to ruin. That is the kind of prophet (meaning preacher) who preaches to please those who pay him best. This is the ' worst kind of bad leadership. For the minister of the Gospel is supposed to a man of God, but when he preaches only what his wealthier contributors will approve, then he ceases to be God’s spokesman and wears some man’s collar. In the very early days of Christianity, just after the New Testament was finished, there was a book which gave regulations and advice for church officers. It seems there were many traveling evangelists and missionaries, then as now, asking for money. This little book gave a rule which was very useful: If the visitor begs for others, he may be genuine; if he begs for himself, throw him out. The preacher out for himself first of all sets an example that pushes his people farther on the road to ruin.

James R. Meadows Possibly no subject has had the attention of the church press more than “meeting the stranger.” Let us make a resolve: That we will shake hands and make the acquaintance of anyone we see at church whom we do not know. One may say, “I often do that and am informed that those I thought strangers, belong to that church.” If that is the case, it is no shame to you, because if you attend regularly and see one who claims to be a member but comes so seldom that you thought him a stranger, shame on him. This is one way we can witness for our Lord. The true Christian life must be continual witnessing to the power and love and grace
