Ashamed f .the Gospel
Very seldOm do we hear of a
person who is ashamedof their
name or that of theirparents. In
fact most. people are proud of
that name.
This can be true in so rnany
ways, our work, olir friends,, our
country, town, or village. •
The Apostle PaUl, in writing
to the Romans, Chapter one,
verse sixteen, gives this stirring
testimony: "For I az n not
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,
For it is the Power of God, 'unto
everyone that believeth."
How often in these days, do
we hear of people who are
ashamed of this Gospel. One
reason that they are ashamed is
because it interferes with their
way of life. They want to do
their thing and down in their
hearts they know that the Word .
of God condemns the very
things that they are doing.
, This could be the answer as
4 to why „so 'many, people are
staying away ftom the House of
Gad. People who once were very
sincere --they took their vows of
love and loyalty t�Jesus.
' Christ—now seemto be ashamed
of His Gospel message. .
Others leave- the Church

have Tonopoly, and they, tell
them to stay away from
organized Churches. This causes •
confusiOn, and the Word of 'Gad
warns us of this 'very thing,
especially in the ,days in which
we live, which no doubt speak of
the return of Christ (Search the
Scripture fax these truths).
The main concern should be
'
for all Christians to have a zeal "
and passion for those who know
not ChriSt as Saviour and 4, ord.°
The Apostle Paul had to
contend with these problems in
his day,. and he. is very clear to
all of us who claim to be
Christians. Let use go out and
testify to the world, or" the
farm, in the shop or office, or
wherever we may be, that we are
not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ. For we have felt the
power in our own lives. We have
felt the burden of sin lifted and
an intense joy in our hearts, of
being accepted'Of Christ, and the
assurance of sins forgiven, and
the.promise of a home in Heaven
in that day,
Unless we have "had this
experience...in our own life 'we
have no 'rt.& to try -and correct
because of other people who feel others.
that they have the Truth, The
Whole Truth,, and Nothing But
the Truth. (Alt athers are fatSe)."
They call at our doors to warp
us of the dangers of ,this teaching
or that, and unless we believe
the things that they believe, we
will be &Strayed. They tell us
that only the meek shall inherit
the earth (and of course, they
are the. meek).
