MINISTER'.S
FROM THE STUDY
BY REV, ALFRED FRY
(Retired)
GODERICH
Back to basics .
In Galatians 3, verses 24-25,
we read 'that the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto
Chris.t,,. that we might be
justified by faith, But after that
faith is come, we are no longer
under a schoolmaster, for- we
are all thin children of God by
faith in Christ Jesus;
I am far from suggesting The
Ten Commandments can ever
4)e accepted as an alternative to
what,is commonly accepted as
the Christian Gospel of
, Salvation. They work on a
different principle. The one is
lbw, the other is Grace; the one
is works,,,the other faith; the -
one is self help, the other is
utter helplessness; the one is
essentially Jewish, the other is
uniquely Christian.
, Nevertheless, we 'need a
return to the Ten Com-
mandments as sure and certain
basis for the good life. We must
never forget that they were
given to us by God,, and reflect
His will and pleasure.
Whatever we may not know
about God, we at least know
what kind of men and women
He wishes His creatures to be.
I do not share the Views of
some who argue that the Ten
Commandments were
abrogated with, the coming of
Christ. Far fron), abrogating
them, much 'less, making them
easier t6) obey, He made them
even more'diffi,cult through His
explicit teaching.
Listen to His words: "I have
not come to abolish the Law or
the prophets, but to complete
them."
Jesus took the c°om-
nmandments and lifted them far
' beyond' the legal and literal
obligation, to the highest level
of mental and spiritual
fulfilment.
It cannot be doubted that if
the Ten Commandments were
obeyed, the world would be a
very different place in which to
live,
Here is one: "Thou shalt not
take the Name of The Lord in
Vain". This would blow many
playwrights and public en-
tertainers, some politicians,
and five out of ten people, old
and young, out on a loop. The
time has come when this kind of
blasphemy, must cease; and the
name of God and His Christ
honored and adored:
Another • commandment,
"Remember The Sabbath day
to keep it Holy". Both the
Sabbath and The Lord's. dey
have been submerged into
commerce, sport, pleasure and
amusement and the claims of
God are increasingly
disregarded.
One more commandment,
"Listen young people; honor
thy Father and thy Mother":
On one hand if children are to
honor Dad and Mother, such
parents must strive • to be
worthy of such tribute. We
might go on. .
Our personal salvation 4o
Eternal life is all summed up in
John 3•:1-16; For God so loved
the world, that He gave- His
Only Begotten Son, that'
whosoever . believeth in Him,
should not perish, but ,shall
have everlasting life;
God answers prayer
My friend Janie was telling
me the other day , about her
young daughter.. asking her for
a 'pair of new jeans the end o
June. Her mother assured her,
thatcome Septembor,she Would
have a brand new pair of her
favorite kind of pants..
However, , seemingly not
convinced, • the youngster
continued to badger her mother
with, "Mom, remember you
promised me you'd buy me a
new pair of jeans," or "Mom,
'are you sure you're going to get
me .a new pair of . jeans," or
"Mom,"'when are you going to,
buyme my new jeans."
"I really got tired of her'
battering away at me,.' said
Janie, "and eventually I
became annoyed and
demanded' why she -didn't
believe me when I told her I -
woWd buy the jeans at the
appointed time.
"As I thought it•over," Janie
,continued, '.`I realized this is
often how we treat God. We ask
-Him for His help but instead of
believing that He is giving it to
us as He promised, we continue
to batter at,Him with the same
old petition."
How true.
Jesus 'said, "Everyone who
asks.receives ,•• If you, who are
sinful; giye to your children
what they need, don't you
realize that your heavenly
Father will' do much more."
(Luke II) `
Of co.urse, as Dr. Wm•
Barclay says this doesn't ab-
solve us from intensity in
prayer. After all, we can only,
guarantee the sincerity of our
desire by the passion with
which we pray; but it does
mean that we -are not wringing
gifts from an unwilling God, but
that we are going to One who
knows our needs better than we
knowthem ourselves, and'
• whose heart towards us is the
heart of a generous love,
Barclay continues, "I•f we do
not receive what we pray for, it
is not because God grudgingly
refuses to give it to us, but
because He has some better
thing for us. There is no such
thing as an unanswered prayer.
The answer given may not be
the answer we desired or ex-
pected but even when it is the
refusal of our wishes it is the
answer of the, love and the
wisdom of God.'#
I asked God for strength,
that I might,achieve•..
1 was made weak,
that I might learn humbly to
obey
I ask d for health,
I might do greater things...
A
I was given infirmity,
that I might do better things.
I asked for riches
that' might be happy...
I was given poverty,
that I might be wise.
•
I asked for power,
that I . might have the praise of
men...
1 was given weakness.
that I might feel. the need . of,
God.
I asked for all things
that I might enjoy life...
I was given life
that I might enjoy all things.
1 got nothing that I asked for,
but everything I had hope.d for.
Almost despite myself,
My unspoken prayers Were
answered.
I ,am 'among all people, most
richly blessed!

County Gospel Sing held
Saturday at Central Huron_

The NCC were not just singing
'a song however, but rather
were expressing musically a
feeling which existed, I,'m"sure,
'among all who were presenttor
this exciting evening.
Together with the Watchmen,
the NCC presented an evening
of praise' which will long be
remembered by all who at-
