Their songs Come and Worship and Take Time to be Holy, were very much enjoyed. The third advent candle was lit by Leslie Bolton. Dorothy Bolton read a selection on Joy. Pastor Carne's message, “Strength Through Suffering,” was taken from Hebrews 12: 4-11. God disciplines us for our good, he said. To spoil is to ruin. Children who can't obey their parents, cannot obey God. When fathers of the flesh discipline us it is an act of love, and we respect them for it. God disciplines us, not only out of His love but for our good. God's discipline is not imposed upon us, said Pastor Came. Then there is self-discipline. No one can continue in God's care unless we have self-discipline or sacrifice. It is a life-time of discipline. Obedience to God is counted to us as righteousness.
