The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-04-26, Page 29CHURCH PAGE Have a heart relationship BY THE REVEREND CLAIR SAMS, BIBLE MISSIONARY CHURCH " The song ,writer wrote so clearly and expressed himself; so well when he said: ` "Out of my bondage, sorrow and night Jesus I come, Jesus I come Into thy freedom, gladness and light Jesus I come to theee. Out of my sickness, into thy health, Out of my want and into thy wealth Out of my sin and into thyself Jesus I come to thee." John said, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of. God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever com- mitteth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the trans'ression of the law. And ye know that he was manifrested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous. He that MR. AND MRS. PHILIP ANDREW PAQUETTE (Photo by Fred H. Bisset) In Goderich Holmesville United Church was the scene of a pretty wedding on Saturday, March 17 at 4 p.m. when Philip Andrew Paquette of Clinton and Laurie Janine Ginn of Goderich exchanged yows. The bride is the daughter of Jean and Gerry Ginn of Goderich and the groom is the son of Barbara and Don Paquette of Ripley. The Reverend John Oestriecher of Clinton officiated at the double ring ceremony. Music was provided by soloist Avice Bisset and organist Kathy Paquette. The bride was given in marriage by her parents. Matron of honor was Nancy Scott of London, sister RQ„of the bride. Bridesmaids were Jan Ginn of Waterloo, sister of the bride and Margo Bettger of Windsor, friend of the bride. Flower girls were Tracy Ginn and Lesley Ann Ginn of Goderich, nieces of the bride. Groomsman was Jim Paquette of Ripley, brother of the groom..... _.__. Guests were ushered into the church by BillTranter of Ripley and Murray Hill of Benmiller. Following a wedding trip to North Palm Beach, Florida, Mr. and Mrs. Paquer.te took up residence in Goderich. committeth sin' is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;..." (I John 3:1-8). 'Tis a blessed privilege to know the joys of sins forgiven, and the strength of righteous living, through Christ. I can remember when my life wasn't always as it is'now. As a boy I would be heavy and fearful because of sin, and even into early adulthood there was the conviction of wrong committed. But thank the Lord, I found a place of prayer and know the power of forgiven sin. I know what John meant when he said, "if we confess our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." What a joy to have a heart that condemns not. There was a professor in college who said, "I have a hard time distinguishing between the heart and the head when people talk of religion". A young student, who had found real forgiveness for sin, asked for permission to speak and answered, "I will tell you how to distinguish between the heart and the head. You get all alone somewhere and repent of every sin and beg God forgiveness until there are no questions and you will have no more trouble in deciding between a head experience and a real heart relationship with God." God's word said, "if our heart condemn us God is greater than our heart.." Again John said, "If our heart condemn us not, then we have con fidence toward God". We can sing with the writer: There's joy in the camp, a sinner has come home. There's joy in the camp, rejoicing round the throne. Singing and shouting, , The great redeemKs song. Out of the darkness Into the light. There's joy, wondrous joy in the camp.
