The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-09-22, Page 25New Go BY PASTOR BRADFORD RENSHA W, BIBLE • • MISSIONARY CHURCH As a new pastor, in Goderich I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the Goderich Ministerial Association and to the (,dericlt. kigrlal-Star for the privilege of writing in this colwnn on occasion. We have settled comfortably in- to our beautiful surroun- dings and are meeting the friendly and happy .people of Goderich; and we. count it.an honour to serve here as a minister of the Gospel. rich pastor states his beliefs MINISTER'S STUDY I am glad today that I can report up-to-date victory through the blood of Jesus, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation; God is worthy of all praise and glory that He ever reached down for one so vile as I, and lifted me out of the awful depths of • 'quity. It is all because of Cal ary that I can testify that II ow I am saved from all sill. Praise the Lord! . • It is not my duty to make the Gospel acceptable; to the world, but it is` my duty to make it available; the Lord called me to Goderich to declare His truth, 'not to de- fend it. 1 cheerfully proclaim that true Christianity still stands on the sure founda- tions of the faith which was once delivered unto us by the apostles and prophets and by the Lord Himself. I sincerely and lovingly declare myself an old-fashioned, fundamen- tal Christian; one who • is simple enough to believe with all his heart the things which compose the body of this article. I believe the Bible is the in - Local Baha'is attend Montreal conference Nine local. adults and seven children were among the more than ten thousand Baha'is who attended.the In- ternational Conference in Montr__eal_rec:ently.....- Although adults met to discuss many diverse and iri- teresting subjects, the highlight of the weekend was the fii's,t International Childrens Conference held at the same time with the theme' 'We are Baha'is'. 'Children from all over the world considered together the real meaning, of unity of race, cultures and . religion. They met and chatted with Hand of the Cause Ruhiyyih Khanum, who is a world 'traveller now. seventy years old, just returned from journeys through Africa and Asia.. She was the • first Baha'i child in Canada and met Abdullah .as a child of three when he'was,a guest of her parents in Montreal. ' - The children were visited by artists and authors who reminded them of the great importance _ the . Baha'i teachings place on science and the arts. Perhaps Most ' important they experienced first hand having fun together and learning about each other's countries, schools, songs and games. Also of great interest to the childrep was the contingent of natide believers f Eskimos from Greenland and Arctic ..Canada,.. Indians."_. flOm_. Canada, U.S.A., Mexico and South America) who travell- ed to Montreal after a con- ference of native. Baha'is of the Americas held at the Blood Reserve in Alberta. The natives addressed both the adult and children.con- ferences wearing costumes worn by their ancestors and presently used when sharing songs and dances associated with their culture. The children's conference ended with all twelve hun- dred children marching into the Velodroine singing songs of the world. It was a• tender, heart warming sight and got. a spontaneous standing ova- tion from the assembled adults. Attending the adult conference from Goderich was Sandra Bilson, Sandra Colbourne, Dorothy Mac- Dougall, Tom and Nancy Flynn, Jeff and Sue Seddon, Bonnie Flynn and Jeannie Seddon. Jennifer and Lisa Flynn, Tonia and Nicole Sed- don, Chris Colbourn; Sean and Jason Flynn attended the children's conference.

The early church har- moniously accepted it as such; ' ,'Christ and His apostles fully accredited the divine inspiration of the Old Testament; and it wasn't un- til the Church was fully 600 years old that anyone from within its ranks ever ques- tioned the validity of the Scriptures. The Bible is the Word of God as really as are the "Ten Commandments" which were written by God's own finger. I believe in miracles. Jesus said, "Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see. The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up..." Let the higher critics throw their darts of doubt and skepticism against the Omnipotence of Christ; He still stands erect 4n the presence of the opposition, and with a ,word, He calms the storm. I believe in the virgin bir- th.' The conception of Jesus was effected by the Holy Spirit of God in the virgin womb; and that which Mary brought forth was spiritually holy and pure. Without in- herited sin, without moral corruption or spiritual defect, Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. • I believe .in the deity of Jesus Christ, He was not a created being, butis eternal- ly one with the Father. He was God in flesh; completely God and completely man, the God -Man: He existed -in . eternity before the creation in the unity of the triune God- head, continues today, and shall ever be the great God of all the universe. • I believe in the blood atonement. Jesus was God's perfect offering for the sins of the human race; the Lamb of God; God's ethical sacrifice in His covenant with mankind. Through that holy sacrifice and through that divine blood the price of redemption wag' paid, and you and I may be at one with a just God - I believe in the actual resurrection and the bodily ascension of Jesus Christ. ' Without these two ' things there can be no Christianity. If Christ is yet in the tomb, then Christ is defeated and the human race is doomed and without hope. ' But .I serve a RISEN Saviour; I know He is living because He is living in my heart right now through the official work of the Holy Spirit. There was a time when I BELIEVED in Jesus; but I'm glad there finally came a day when I became per- sonally acquainted with Him; I KNOW Whom I HAVE believed! I believe in actual deliverance from sin. The salvation which Jesus Christ purchased by the shedding of His blood involves the forgiveness of sins commit- ted and also the cleansing of the carnal heart. When we are saved, the guilt of com- mitted sins is lifted and we become new creatures through Christ Jesus; this is regeneration. Then when the believer is sanctified his sin- ful nature is eradicated and the heart is cleansed by the indwelling Holy Ghost. I believe in holy living. "If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the tell the truth...My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not...Whosoever abideth in. Him sinneth not...He that comrnitteth sin is of the devil...Whosoever is born of God doth not committ sin." (selections from I John chapters 1, 2, 3) The Bible is. very clear concerning the practical life of the believer; it is above reproach, morally perfect, and ethically pure. The habits of the world and the wicked indulgences of the lusts of the flesh are for- saken in repentance; the Christian life is a life of. holiness and righteousness in true practice. I believe in the eternal destiny of mankind in either heaven or hell. The human soul will live on for eternity. God has clearly 'warned us of the punishments of damna- tion; and' He, has specifically GRACE -COMMUNITY CHURCH Huron Centennial School BRUCEFIELD, ONT. 4824260, 565-5341 'and 236-4979 10:00 - Family Bible School 11:00 • - Speaker: Randy Mann PREACHING THE DOCTRINES of GRACE invited each one of us into the joys of His wonderful heaven. The old truth still stands, sinners are destined for the fires of hell, and the Lord's saints are promised a glorious heaven. I believe in the soon return of Jesus Christ at which time those who died in Christian victory will be resurrected from their graves and the saints who are yet living on earth will be snatched from the world to meet the Lord in the air. Following this will be the Great Tribulation and " then the thousand -year reign • of Christ on earth; then at the Great White Throne Judgement we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ and every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Rm. 14:10, 12. Thank you for your atten- tion in these matters of grave importance. Time and space do not permit the argument and proof of these things; and argument, and proof are not my desire. Truth needs no defense and I am not ashamed to declare these things as my heart con- victions.,You are welcome to attend worship services at the Bible Missionary Church at the corners of Huron Road and Walnut Street here in Goderich.
