Right With God
Lesson for July 24, 1949
"-lET RIGHT with God" is an expression which has been sometimes used by people. It is not a coarse or cheap idea. It is the most
important thing you can do. -Think what it means to. b wrong with God! That means to be out of harmony with his will, going "across the grain of reality" as the old Greeks used to say. To be wrong
with God means to Dr. Foreman i be a rebel against ' reality, to have the power of the universe working against you, and so to be headed for sure destruction. Wrong with God, you cannot, win. Right with God,, you cannot lose. To be right, with God means to be in line with the purpose that runs through all things; it means in ;the simple language of the Bible, to live as a child of God. Mule or Man? ; J HERE are two ways in which man can come into line, so to speak, with God. One is by being whipped into it, and the other is by a free act of will. The poet of
the 32nd Psalm begs his readers not to be like mules or colts (Ps.', 32:9). These animals can be broken and controlled by their masters. But they do not understand what is going on, and if left to themselves they would never serve, They have to be caught, harnessed and driven. But God does not want to treat human
beings like that. Getting right with God is not a business of getting Into harness, being beaten! into walking on the right road. That is not Gcvi's way. He pleads
kith us through his inspired poet: fee riot as mules be men!.
acing Up to Yourself
XHE "short good Bible word for beins nrrnnir with CinA 1r Sin Tia
verf first step toward being right with God is to see yourself as you; are.- No one ever went to a doctor, till he at least suspected he was
reick. No one ever went to schogl of!
his -own accord who thought he: knew everything. And no one will come to God who thinks he is as; good as he needs to be. When life goes hard with us, when everything' about our life seems twisted and rotten, we make all sorts of excuses for ourselves, we lay the blame on our -parents or our friends of the! social and economic system in which we live (doubtless all these have a share in creating our troubles),but we hate to look at ourselves in the mirror of truth. ' 1 This comes first: recognizing our own wrongness, not just
weakness but wrongness. When we" reach the point where wo can say with the Psalmist, 'Create in me a clean heart, O-God, and renew a right spirit within me," then we are on the right road. .
"Hide Thy Face"
"nHERE are two things we never'
near aoout in tne jtsiDie. une is that T5od never foreave anyone who:
did not repent, and the other is that
he refused to forgive any one who
!did reDent. But repentance is not
merely regretting that a wrong was!
Idone; still . less regretting being; Icaueht. Repentance, the kind the:
Bible describes (as in these Psalms;
for example), means a complete change of attitude, it means coming
over on God's side and seeing sin
the way he sees it, seeing We the way he sees it.
. God's forgiveness Is not of the grudging, remembering, renVnding kind. But condoning and forgiving are still a world apart. Condoning means saying in effect, It Is all right, it makes no difference, you can go on sinning for all I care. Some human "forgiveness" may
be like that, but not God's. His
Jforgiveness is based on real re
pentance, and the aim of it is to
save the sinner from his sin. Plenteous in Mercy .
THE Psalmists saw clearly what kind of God we have. He is not
like the holder of a mortgage wait-
ng till the first time some payment s deferred gives him a chance to
pounce down and evict his tenant.
pe are not criminals against whom
3od is a prosecuting attorney, trying to pile up evidence against us. "If thou shouldest mark iniquities, ,vho -shajl stand?'We are children, :dst "and wandering?' children',' rebel-
inns, and disobedient-children, but
ttill children; -arid iGod' holds open
he' "door of mercy. - iCopvTtght by the International Counil of Religious Education on behalf of 0' Protestant denominations. Released y WJiU Features.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Truth" is the subiect of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 24. ' The Golden Text is: "Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth" (Psalms 86:11). - Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "0 Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee ? Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go - before thy face" (Psalms 89:8, 14). "0 send out thy light and thy truth: let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles" (Psalms 43:3). j The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science 1 find Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Truth destroys falsity and error, for light and darkness cannot dwell together. Light extinguishes the darkness, and the Scripture declares that there is 'no night there'" (p. 474). "Christian Science brings to the body the sunlight of Truth, which :nvigorates and purifies" (p. 162). ;

FAMILY BIBLE

There are few who realize what an im- ! portant part the old family Bible has played in American life and history. It lay on the table in the living room or parlor, usually beside a large, shaded reading lamp, and was a ponderous volume, printed in large type and bound with heavy ornate ' covers. In addition to the text, it contained a f number of blank pages on which were inscribed the vital records of the family births, deaths, and marriages.
In many families it was the custom of the head of the house to read a passage from the holy volume before the family dispersed for bed. It was regularly used for funerals, marriages, and the periodic visits of the minister. The old family Bible has for generations set the moral and spiritual pace of America. It has inspired the faint-hearted, comforted the distressed, counseled the penitent. We cannot afford to lose its influence upon our lives.
.Go to church on Sunday, and hear God's message
irom the Old Family Bible.
