worshipping the Lord, in
fellowship' with His people,
and in service for Him:
2. A church where mem-
bership is not made too easy.
Not, of course, that there
should ever be an exclusive
spirit in a church. -On the
other hand, you will, wish to
join- a church where the
minister and the members
require to know that you are
really born again (John 3:15)
and are seeking by the grace
of God to live a consistent
Christian life (Ephesians
5:15). When a church sets a
high standard for . mem-
bership, God is glorified.
3. A church which stands
wholeheartedly for "the
whole counsel of God" and
that makes much of the Bible.
Always remember that we
are living in days of apostasy
(II Timothy:3:1; Jude 4) -
days when there is a great
departure from the truth. The
true Christian, therefore, will
desire to join a church that
stands for the full inspiration
and authority of the whole
Bible (II Timothy 3:16; II
Peter 1:21), and that honours
the Person and work of our
Lord Jesus Christ - His full
Deity (John 20:28), His
perfect humanity (I Peter
2;5), His virgin birth (Mat-
Tf1,8),'We' inraltibilitSr"
His teaching (John 5:22, 23),
the reality of His miracles
(John' 20:30,31) the sub-
stitutionary nature of His
death (Isaiah 53:5; II
Corinthians 5:21), His bodily
resurrection (John 20:27),
His glorious ascension (Luke
24.: 50, 51), His present
exaltation (Acts 5:31), and
His second Advent (Acts 1:9-
11). Whatever you do, avoid
being a heresy hunter; but
whatever you do, do NOT join
any church that does not
stand for the whole counsel of
God (Acts 20:27).
4. A church that is Christ -
centered and not
denom inationa 1 ly- c entered.
To join a church will mean
linking up with one
denomination or another, or
one assembly or another.
Remember, it is .the local
assembly of God's people you
are linking up with, but in
that assembly there must
never be an over emphasis on
denominationalism, which
only leads to the "I am of
Paul" .or "I am of Apollos"
• spirit (1 Corinthians 3:4-7),
' which is carnal, sectarian
and sad in the extreme. When
you come to think of it, the
kind of church that we have
outlined above is only a New
Testament church after all!

'phasizes the ministry of the

I work eight hours, I sleep eight hours and
have eight hours for leisure;
But I don't go to church on Sunday, because
that's my time for pleasure.
I was out two of three nights last week, it
was 20 below I'm told;
But I didn't go to church on Sunday because
it was too cold.
My family is well fed all week, they're not
getting any thinner;
But I don't go to church on Sunday because
I have to get dinner.
I went out Saturday night, even though I
hada chill;
But 1 didn't get to church on Sunday
becausel was too ill.
I get to town several times each week, I use
both truck and car;
But I didn't get to church on Sunday
because it was too far.
I got my feet wet twice last week and I did
not complain;
But I didn't get to church on Sunday
' because it looked like rain.
We always get a sitter *hen to parties we
get bids,.
But we didn't get to church on Sunday
because we habe to mind the kids.
The show lasted two hours or more and I
didn't mind a bit;
But I didn't go to ehurchon Sunday because
an hour's too long to sit.
took my cold to the party and sneezed my
head almost off;
But I didn't go to church on Sunday because
I was afraid I'd cough.
•
Just when I'm going out some friends drop
in, but I got out just the same;
But I didn't get to church on Sunday
because company came.
No one asked me to the Movie, but I go
often, nothing slighted;
But I don't go to church on Sunday because
I haven't been invited.
Elder James is a member of our glub, each
Wednesday I with him sit;
But I don't go to church on Sunday because
he's a hypocrite.
I attended church one time, the pastor
preachednt them, it was good to see;
But I'm not -going any more because last
week he preached at me. ',
We get along without the church, it adds
nothing to our fun;
But we'll be in church Sunday morning,
because we're getting our baby done.
