Christ is the key who opens
men and women to their full
capacity. It is only as we open
up to Him that our livestakeon
their proper perspective. It is
only as we allow His light .to
shine in on our lives that we are,
able to see our true. potential,
and also to 'see our mistakes.
Rufus Moseley has said,- "God
does not turn the light on our
failures to hurt us but to help
us.„
We really do not have to wear
ourselves out searching for the'
key to our lives. Christ holds it
out tp us, we have only to reach
out and take it.
Dr. George Goth says
church like boneless bird.
Are contemporary Christian
churches comparable to
"boneless chicken cooked in
cream sauce'?”
• According to Dr. George
.Goth of London, guest speaker
'at the Kirkton-Woodham
United Church service
recently, the churches today
hake failed society by trying to
keep up with the changing fads
of the period. ,
Dr. Goth accused churches of
giving, up principles and ben-
ding with the times when it
should be standing strong and
firm to provide an'"oasis",for'
those seeking something stable
in our society.
"The 'church must be the
conscience of society," said Dr.
Goth, "And the church must be
the judge of society.'"
Rather than backtread or
remain si - nt on an issue, the
Christian/church should stand
up and state that something is._
wrong, if indeed it is wrong,
said the outspoken, London
minister.,
He accused "the inheritors of
Christian civilizationY.. of
dropping the atomic bot ib, a
wrong which killed or i olmed
•
hundreds of thousands,
"It wasn't the Bolsheviks, it
wasn't the Nazis, it wasn't the
Japanese, it was the Christian
countries, and it was wrong,"
stated Dr. Goth.
He attacked the liquor trade
as being a greater curse and
cause of death and suffering
than all the wars of mankind
and all the drugs ever dealt
illeg4ily.
"And -yet we not only legalize
the liquor trade," said Dr.
Goth, '`But the very people who
exploit people in this way are
heralded as great benefactors
to mankind on the front pages
of our newspapers." ,
• Dr. Goth concluded that the
church must distinguish bet-
ween right and wrong, between
truth and untruth, and take an.
unwaivering stand despite
public opinion at the time.
He admitted that this might
make the church unpopular
with some but suggested that in
the end, the church will be
standing solidly on its' foun-
dations when needed as a
respite by a sick and decadent
society.
