If two young people
come knocking at your
door-, they won't be trying
to sell you anything. They
are Ongoing
Ambassadors for Christ.

Riverview,Michigan, and

States, Hong Kong, the
Philipines, and Germany.

Scott came two weeks
ago. Mary has• been
working primarily with
Vacation Bible School at,
Berea -By -The -Water
Lutheran Church.
She and Scott have
begun a door-to-door
survey to find out if and
where people go to
church.
"Our main goal is to get
people interested in at-
tending church," says
Scott. "We aren't trying
to sell anything."
Ongoing Ambassadors
for Christ work on a
valunteer basis, but the
benefits are many. They
get to travel extensively
and are provided with
room and board.

Rittinger family. Jim
Hayter has provided

`Tis an interesting
thought, the changes that
a person makes from
time to time in life. We
never know when they
N are coming, nor all they
involve., but changes'are
sure to come, as sure as
the sun.
We may as well expect
them and welcome and
embrace them as to fight
and be uncomfortable
with the variation. And
thinking of changes,
brings me to what I'd like
to mention here.
We, lived in the west
some time ago. Living
there, how were we to
know we would be living
on the Great Lakes
today? What a difference.
As pleasant as it may be,
it was still a change for
me.
I thought of the
irrigation out there,
compared with the
dependence on rainfall

here and immediately the
thought came to me, it's
much the same
spiritually.
There they enjoy a
constant water supply
that controls the crop
growth and keeps a well
watered, well rounded
development from year
to year. They aren't as
dependent on the
variations of weather to
the extent the producers
in this area are. Here the
crop must wait for rain
and sun to come when it
will and suffer if it
doesn't.
Spiritually, that is the
difference in the even,
steady, ' well -modulated
flow of the sanctified life
in comparison' with -the
sporatic, from blessing to
blessing life of the
believer who doesn't
know the indwelt
presence of the Holy
Spirit.
- Why, Paul said it this
way in his writing to
Thessalonica: "And the
Lord make you to in-
crease and abound in love
one toward • another...to
the end he may establish
your hearts and un -
blameable in holiness
before God...''
That sounds to me as
though he meant for us to
be 'steady, -established,
sound,. or sanctified
personally. You see a
little later in the same
book Paul said "For this

your sanctification..."
and in the next verse
"That every one of you
should know how to
possess his vessel in
sanctification and
honour." Youwill find
these passages in.I Thess.
3:4.
But Paul wasn't the
only writer who thought it
important we have this
well of water springing
up in us.
Peter said "But the
God of all Grace who hath
(called us into his eternal
by Christ Jesus, after
that he suffered a while,
make you perfect,
establish, strengthen,

couraging, leading

It seems to me every
child of God would long to
enjoy this establishing
rather than the constant
up and down experience.
of a co'ntinual
rededication, always
waiting on a blessing
rather than having the
Blesser.
It's the difference in
irrigation and dry land
farming. Seems; common
sense would tell us it is
better to enjoy a constant
steady flow than to. en-
dure the dry weak
questings that are ex-
perienced by so many.
Scripture tells us that
Christ suffered without
the gate that he might
sanctify the people. Jost
that ought to be enough to
make us expectant. Then
we read that it is His will
even your sanctification.
That, it seems, would be
enough to bring a person
into the experience. •
Finally, Paul told us
again"And the very God
of peace sanctify you
wholly and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul
and body be preserved
blameless unto the
coming ofour Lord Jesus
Christ."
