Golden Text: Study to show thyself approved un- to God, a workman that needeth i,ot to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15.) Sunday, men have lived in is being beaten upon. Houses are crumbling and fell- ing. Opinions and speculations are being abandoned. Philosophers are seen to be worthless. We need, sonic - thing better than the best of human "brain trusts," And we have it; in tiac sayings of Christ and the infallible words of Scripture. Those who have kept close to the Bible in these years of depres- sion, and during the World War, have not been taken by surprise. They have remembered. the Lord's predic- tion that there should come "upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity.; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coining on the earth" (Luke 21:25, 26). Those who keep their eyes fixed on Christ and who remember His say- ings, remember also that He said: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look, up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" • It is always the dark- est hour just before dawn. The lesson passage is preceded by our Lord's warning `Beware of false prophets," There have always been false teachers in the name of religion, even in the name of Christ, who, tea- chings were not His, but their own. "Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them," said the Lord. The "fruits" of which He was talking, and against which He was warning. And never before have there been more The Christian teacher has final textbook and source book—the Bible. The teacher who holds un- compromisingly to the word of God can sneak with an authority that no teacher in any other field of learn- ing can have. Christ Himself said of the Old Testament—which was the only Bible the men of His day had —"the Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35). Peter wrote by inspira- 'tion of "the word of God, which liv- eth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:23). And Paul wrote: "All Scrip- ture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable" (2 Tim. 8:16). The Christian who would be an effective and profitable teacher must believe the teachings that he gives, There is too much teaching, today, that is largely an expression of un- belief, or in the realm of opinion, Speculation, uncertainty. Sucli teach - but one subtly or openly false religions, and cultsof every sort, some in the name of Christianity; than today. People are doing great works in the name of Christ. Such false teachers may ap- peal to Him, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? . . And in Thy name done many wonder- ful works? And then will I profess unto them. I never knew you: de- part from me, ye that work iniquity." And so the Lord warns that "every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand," False religions, human speculations and. Philosophies, are but "sand" in con- trast with the "rock." When the floods and winds beat upon that house it fell: and great was the fall of it." The Christian teacher must know not only the words, and teachings of Christ, but Christ Himself as person- al Saviour and Lord. The teacher must be able to tell what great things the Lord has done for him. The ef- fective Christian teacher must have a personal testimony.. Otherwise, he will be building his house upon the sand instead of upon the rock, no matter how true ,his statements may be. We are living today in the age of grace, on this side of - the Cross of Calvary, and the Resurrection, and Pentecost. Our Christian teaching must tell our hearers who Christ is, that He is the only begotten Son of God. It must tell us what Christ did: that He died for our sins, and was raised again; and that the only way to be saved is to believe on Him as Saviour. And our Christian teaching must go on and show, from the com- pleted New Testament, how the Christian life is to be lived, moment by moment in the keeping power of Christ and the Holy Spirit. An eloquent teacher named Apollos who knew his Old Testament Scriip- tures well, was teaching at Ephesus. 'He was sincere and earnest, but he knew "only the baptism of John"— John the Baptist—who brought men to repentance, but who could not tell them about the finished work of Christ as their Saviour, So a Christian man and his wife, Aquila and Priscilla, took Apollos un- der their wing and "expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly." Now he had a message that went way beyond the best he had known be- fore, and he became a greater teach- ing is not going to grip hearers or er than ever. "For he mightily con - transform lives.
