The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-06-22, Page 28GODERICH SIGNAL-STAIj, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1978 --PAGE 7A CHURCH PAGE Clinton -pastor conducts s service The man with the fixed heart BY PASTOR FRED DAY, BETHEL PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE Read Psalm 112: Our text is about a man. The Psalmist knows a • man. He says in verse 7, "He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." In Psalm 112:1 he says, "Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord." In a dark hour, this man, whoever he was, heard evil tidings. Maybe it was war or riots or maybe a heart condition. Whatever it was, in this day the evil tidings covered the land. Yet when people's hearts were failing them for fear and many were frightened, fearful, scared and trembling, the Psalmist said, "I know a fellow that is not bothered by all the bad tidings. I know a fellow who stands firm against or amidst the evil tidings. I know a fellow who doesn't go to pieces when you mention all these problems. He hears the evil tidings but is not afraid." WHY? His heart is fixed. He trusts the Lord. That is why he is not afraid. He doesn't have to have a tranquilizer. Let's look at that man. HE FEARS THE LORD. He is not afraid because he fears the Lord. He does not get ruffled because he fears the Lord. J. Hyles says we better fear God more than we fear ...riots . . .than we fear Com- munists. Here is a man that fears God. HE LOVES THE WORD O1' GOD. Here is a man who does not have to have tranquilizers. Here is a man who does not have to have a ner- vous breakdown. He doesn't have to have pills to make him sleep. Here is a man who fears God. He loves the Word of God. He is not upset. He is not falling apart. He is not shook up. Here is a man who, when evil tidings come, he stands his ground. Why? He loves the word of God. A generation of people who love the Word of God is a generation who will not get "shook up" so much. Rather "calm", "peaceful",' "quiet assurance". David said, "There is a fellow by my house, that fears the Lord. There is a fellow by my house who loves the Word of God." "I will lift up mine eyes untothe dills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon they right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve they soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time' forth, and even for evermore." (Psalm 121) Agent for 24 -hr. FILM DEVELOPING David says, "I know a fellow who walks by my house. He fears the Lord. I know him, he loves the Bible. HE HAS A CHRISTIAN HOME His children live right. They are honest. They don't cheat on tests at school. They dress like Christians. They are courteous. They do what dad says. They obey. They love God. They are pure and decent. HE HELPS OTHERS Psalm 119:9, "He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor." He does help others. That is the fellow who is not afraid. Who does not let riots upset him. Who doesn't tremble when he thinks of the atomic bomb. He helps others. Psalm 112:10, "The wicked shall see it and be grieved." He is the calmest fellow of them all. When the lightening strikes he is calm. When the bad tidings come he goes about -his work. He goes ahead and does right. He is not upset about it. He loves the Bible. He meditates on the Bible. He has a Christian home. Look at him. He helps the poor. He gives to others. He dispenses that which God has given him.`' HE IS HATED Peopld say, "He is some sort of nut. He won't gamble. He doesn't listen to dirty stories. He says his prayer at meals. Someone said, "If somebody at your job doesn't call you a fanatic, there is something wrong with you." So, the Psalmist says, "I know a fellow who lives in my neigh- bourhood. I've watched him. He fears the Lord. He loves the Word. He has a Christian family. He helps others. He is unselfish. He is hated." "Folks don't like him very much, but there is one thing I've noticed about him" says the Psalmist, "when evil tidings come, they don't. bother him a great deal. He "just goes about his business." Why? His heart is fixed. He has something inside him. ' He has character. He says, "My heart is fixed. I'm going to serve God. I'm going to trust the Lord." HIS GOD KNOWS BEST This man has his faith in a God who knows best. He believes in a God in heaven who has his hands on the controls, He believes in Romans 8: 28. He believes that there are no accidents. You don't have to get upset about the present world con- dition and have a nervous breakdown or go to pieces because of the terror or horror of the day. The Bible says all things work for good. HIS GOD WILL CONQUER Why get worried? But they can blow us into a million pieces. God will put every piece together. God knows where I am. A commentary on Isa. 9:6 says that "The Prince of Peace" means "Tranquilizer". His name shall be called "The tranquilizer". You say, "My days are so full - I've so much on my mind. I think I'm going to fall apart." Take "the tranquilizer." Take Jesus. HIS GOD LOVED HIM He said, "God loved me. He is going to, take care of me.. God will provide for me." There is a wonderful security in God's love. Pick up the newspaper and you read evil tidings. Some are dying of heart attacks. Some of cancer. All is bad. Then pick up the tidings from the Lord and read, "Let not your heart be troubled." JOHN 14:1,2. We have tidings from the Lord that brings calmness, security, and composure. Read PSALM 91, "He that dwellest..." Then read PSALM 8 "0 lord our Lord..." Friends our lives can be calm, secure, happy. How? By having a fixed heart. By believing the Bible is Word of God. By believing that the God of this Bible controls the world. That when the - battle is over, we will wear a crown. The devil said to Paul, I'm going to persecute you Paul." Paul', "I rejoice in Per- secution". Devil: "I'll ave you thrown in jail". aul: "I'll pray the walls down. Have a revival, and win the jailer." Devil: "I'm going ,to kill you" Paul: "For me to live is Christ..." What can you do with a guy like that? The Psalmist said I know a man like that. That's the kind of man I want to be. I want my neighbours to say "There is a man who is not upset by evil tidings. His heart is fixed. He trusts the Lord." , MR. AND MRS.
