Living What We Preach

HAVE you ever had the experience of yawning simply be cause someone in your presence yawned? A simple illustration of the power of influence. Influence is felt in every area of life. . .

HOW ridiculous it would be to hire an expensive architect to formulate plans and a design for a church building and then to follow the consensus of those doing the building and ignore the blueprints that have taken so much time, effort, and expense to draw up. . .

Joe Engelkemier
I'M GETTING to be hesitant about taking a Week of Prayer," an often-called-upon speaker recently commented. "After the week is over, too many of the youth who have found a new experience in Christ get discouraged. Then they give up, and often are more destitute spiritually than before."

ABOUT a year and a half ago I attended my first Bill Gothard lecture on Basic Youth Conflicts. I saw this man hold people spell bound for a full week. I realize that, while the man is deeply spiritual, he has no apparent external charisma. I wondered what the magic was that enabled him to hold his audience over such long periods of time. . .

G. D. Keough
WE HAVE long looked for ward to the time when the earth shall be lightened with the glory of the angel with the last message of mercy to the world (Rev. 18:1). That message is simply a call to come out of Babylon, for the last plagues are about to be poured out upon her and God would have His people separated from Babylon that these plagues might not fall upon them. . .

Perry F. Pedersen
WHILE some of us find the Ingathering program an onerous duty that comes along with frightening rapidity, yet it has been, it is, and will continue to be one of the great blessings in God's church. . .

PREACHING is a means ordained of God whereby God and man come together in communion and communication. As the believer listens to the Word of God in proclamation, he accepts it as the Word of God which is at work in him (1 Thess. 2:13). The solemnity and beauty of this truth must ever be with us as we go about our task of preaching the Word. . .

The above news clipping fortunately is fictitious. However, if musical publishers wanted to press for action on this growing common practice, it would not be difficult to locate sufficient evidence. Publishers of music are initiating programs to alert the public to this widespread immoral habit of reproducing musical scores, hymns and lyrics. . .

SATAN, the master deceiver, is especially adept at leading human beings to misapply Scripture. He used this technique at Christ's first advent. Old Testament prophecy was misapplied, many of God's people were deceived, and the Son of God was rejected by the majority. . .

A PREACHER is many things: counselor, teacher, fund raiser, church administrator, spiritual trouble shooter. He must be a man of integrity, impeccable personal habits, untarnished reputation, friendliness, and total dedication. He must feel a divine call to the ministry and stand as God's instrument of salvation to men. "Who is sufficient for these things?" (2 Cor. 2:16).

John Duge
WHEN evangelism is based on Spirit of Prophecy models it succeeds, it is always growing and developing and stimulating new thought and effort, and its results are solid and lasting. The Valley Fellowship of Seventh-day Adventists, a newly organized company in San Bernardino, California, has resulted from such a program. . .

SEVERAL years ago while at tending medical school and preparing for marriage I came across a statement in The Ministry of Healing, page 365: "The more nearly we come into harmony with God's original plan, the more favorable will be our position to secure health of body, and mind, and soul."

Ministers often lead frantic, frenzied lives, and like physicians are faced with intense stresses. They are called to enter into the tragedies, heartaches, and tears of many lives—the very gut-level of existence. These involvements can extract a high price, especially if there has also been neglect of body. . .

WHO wants to be remembered as a hard-hearted Hannah? I surely do not. There are many women's liberation movements going on now, and what one sees in the papers often isn't too nice. There are pictures of women carrying banners and "hollering" for their "rights." Mostly these women are dressed sloppily and, to put it bluntly, they look anything but feminine. It seems that their actions are speaking so loudly that we can't hear what they are saying. They keep putting men down and generally giving them the kind of reputations that their children may find hard to respect. . .

Lawrence T. Geraty
THE Biblical evidence considered last month indicated that the high place was a cultic installation borrowed initially from the Canaanites but frequented through out the history of Israel—both in the service of Yahweh as well as in the service of the deities of the surrounding peoples. Its typical features included standing stones (massebot), memorial stones, altars for sacrifice and burning incense, cult objects symbolizing 'Asherah (the mother goddess of Canaan), along with several other types of images. . .
