Williams, Pastor "The Church With A H e a rt-F e lt Welcome” ^ e th o d is l £ Be true to thyself By Reverend T . N . Noffa As we go Into this study again today concerning hones ty, the purpose Is to make clear that discussion of sin Is In order so that we may recog nize It In ourselves ami moth ers. Honesty la important to us as It la probably one of the moat Important parts of our lives. Eet us take medicine fo re x - ample. As long as there Is sickness, the re a re many peo ple that w ill get tired ot w ear- y If talking about sickness, but as long as sickness rages in the human race the talk w ill continue. It la just as possible that some folks get tired of the church discussing sin and h o n e s t y . The preachers, teachers, philosophers, and theologians all talk about It. The parents, pastors, police, and judges deal with It day af ter day. We would I Ike to drop the subject butwecan’ t as long as people keep doing wrong. Honesty w ill overcome sin and sin cannot be Ignored. There fore we must keep trying to understand sm but we can only understand It If we learn enough of its nature to diagno sis It correctly. Can we hope to find a way and help others llnd the same cure which God has provided? When Jesus declared that the pure In heart were blessed because they could see God, He was saying that the Impute Page 5 D r . E a rle Reynolds, skipper of the Phoenix. Joins worshippers at the ship R ev. T. N. N o ffa ate not blessed because they w ill not see God. The d iffer ence between purity and impu rity la what the Blblecalls sin. Therefore, It Is sin which keeps people from seeing God. Most people instinctively unlerstand the difference be tween the physical heart and the spiritual heart. They knew that theie Is a dimension to people, to human personality which Is beyond weight and measure and skin color. It is so dynamic that when we ex cuse a man’ s fault by saying, "Oh w ell, he Is of good heart," or "he lias a good h eart," we mean he la good tnwardly.The hears then Is a chamber of a personal nature and Is hid by the Individual him self.

It can lx* found here In the lin gers, hands, leet. eyes, ears, tongue which do the bidding of the heart. When the hand does wrong, the blame la not placed on the hand but on tie heart. So we say the heart Is only a pump. The pump has no per sonal view In this m atter. It is the man him self. I often times wonder within myself what new standard of value is imposed on a common stan dard for people. "H e that la faithful In that which is least Is faithful also In much. He that Is unjust In the least Is un just also In much. If therefore ye have not been faithful In the unnghteous mammon. who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not heen faithful In that which Is another man’ s, who shall give you that which Is your own?*’ Euke 16-10-12. These are very strong words In more than one as pect. 1 here ate two re m a li able things about them, ime Is the contrast which is seen in all three verses, between what our Lord called Mam mon, that Is simply the out ward look, and the inward riches of the heart devoted to and filled with God In C h rist. But another striking thing about these words Is the broad bold statement that a man’ s use of the lower goods deter mine, or Is at least an element In determining his possession of the highest manner. In the old days man had a tendency to he honest enough that he didn't look at the color of a man's skin. A man was known only by the land from which he came. At the m a r riage supper It was essential that every guest put on an old garment. A ll of the guest9 dressed Just alike so the rich couldn’ t look down on the poor or the poor didn't have to feel bad being In company of the rich. Through this honest state ment to ourselves we arrive at the question - What la truth? Jesus said, ’ ’To thia end was I born and for this cause come I unto the world, that I shall bear witness unto the truth. Evenyone that Is of the truth hears my voice.’* D irecto r o f Youth a n d Evangelism ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I Zest of Life By C a rn e g ie " H a p p y ” Pullen Total Electronic Trans formation of Society is coming and is already far advanced. A remarkable little paper back book called "T heS teers man’s Handbook: E S I . ” It is written by L . ClarkStevens and published by Bantam Books. The ’ ’EST" is In big blue letters and one might mistake that as the true title. There Is a blurb by R. Buck m inster F u lle r on the front cover. "M agnificent . . . an extraordinally lucid and pow erful book. It may well be the straw that w ill save the camel’ s back of earthean c ris is .’ ’ tin the hack cover EST is explained as "E le c tronic Social Transformation. "M ake no mistake: the up heavals of the moment are but a mild foretaste of what is to come. That which is now upon us In Am erica reaches beyond disorder, riot of in surrection. Beyond revolu tion. beyond classification; what is now unfolding is no less than the TRANSFORMA TION OF A LLTH IN G S." The best way to review this book is to give a few of the many startling quotes from it. “ Leaders who claim re volution, authors who write of revolution, poets inspired by revolution— all will resist the sweeping away of revolu tion itself . . . Revolution is a linear concept by which a new structure supersedes an existing structure. There is now new structure!” "T h e upheaval In America today provides a chaotic surf upon which would-be revolu tionaries steal wild rkles, but to define the upheaval as re volution is to fail to discern Its essence. It Is not or ganized. It has no plan. It has no doctrine. There is no pattern, no structure- no leaders and no followers. It happens. IT IS.” VIRGO’S, WHERE ARE YOU?

Long ago some revolu tionary said, "T h e re is no th ing p e r m a n e n t e xcept change.” We can see how change has come to every as pect and department of our lives, and the speed of this change is Increasing all the tim e. Transportation is an example. Consider the changes in our thinking, oureducational tech niques and processes, our jobs, our communities, of the way neighbors and strangers and members of our own fam ilies act and react toward us; the increasingly tense con ditions of all peoples; and how we and nations act and inter act. The world has been put Into a gold-fish bowl and forced Into one neighborhood; but It Is fa r from being one brotherhoud. Two way viewing and print recording telephones; tele vision surveillance of workers at their machines, sophisti cated w ire-tap and ’ bug’ lis tening devices; computers which supply the Government corporations, competitors and even neighbors with intimate knowledge of our affairs; video-tape recorders earn ed In vest-pockets and handbags; hidden microphones and tele vision cameras, these are all a part of the process of trans formation and they are vio lently altering our ways of thinking, our actions and our life styles. Charles de Gaulle said, “ The world Is undergoing a transformation to which no change that has yet occurred can be compered In scope and rapidity.” ’ ’A ll revolutions bad, as their goal, the attainment of some new state of equilibrium. What we are seeing in our time Is a new order of re volution. whose goal is not equilibrium, but social dis order itself. It is the firs t social recognition that con tinuous change itself la a form of equlllbrium --and that It Is only In disorder that we find order.” —Don Falun. ” A world of undeserved lei sure seeins purposeless and stagnant. Yetelectronlc tech nology has brought mankind to the threshold of Eden. Life support systems have been developed which recycle re sources powered by the e te r nal atom. This world at peace holds no terro rs for the Move ment. The changing planet as "hom e" is the environ ment In which the Movement moves. That is the success which stirs the young beyond any mere purpose. The linear world has lost them because they have found the Cosmos.” The book is crammed with notable quotations. What does the Bihle say about this? "M any shall run to and fro , and knowledge shall be increased.” Dan 12:4. Of those rulers and men who are less than totally obe dient to C h rist’ s words in godly righteousness and their works God has said. "T his shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. ” 1 w ill overturn, overturn, overturn 1C and they shall be no more until He comes whose right it is; and I w ill give it H im .” Ezek. 21:27. The Apostle Paul wrote: "E v ery man’ s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and tbs fire shall try every man’ s work of what sort It is. If a man’ s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a rew ard." I C o r. 3:13-14. 288 -5 4 29 A.
