~ STUDY of this chapter gives
VI goodly list of the things that go
~ to make up a healthy growth for
. denomination. Let us what it was
that Paul used to build up the denomina-
ton that he started and nourished.
The first thing that notice is hunil-
ity-"Serving the Lord with all humil-
fly Of mind Notice that IL was not a
put-on humility. but was humility of
the mind" The first essential of any
Christian worker. be he minister or lay
man, fs humility of mind. He cannot go
into the work with any great idea Of
himself and hope to accomplish great
things Self has TO be utterly put out Of
sight in working for Christ. VIII we all
stand the test? Paul had plenty Of things
20 be proud about If he had been so in
olined. but after he met the Lord Jesus
IN the way 70 put self aside
The next thing to notice is that Paul
served the Lord with tears" His whole
soul was In his work. and his tears testi
fed to the fact that he cared about
winning mems souls and pleaded with
them with tears To give themselves to
Christ.
Paul served. the Lord by the tempta-
lions which befeli him. How many of
us do that? Perhaps il is a now thought
we can serve God, but the way bear
temptations to sin Is one of the best
tests of our Christian character. and the
Jews gave Paul plenty of opportunity TO
be tested in public and always he bore
the tests grandly TO the glory of God
Then there was Paul's preaching or
teaching. whichever you please to call it.
He called II .testifying" and that counts
us ali in whatever we may be. for all of
IN can testify. Two good old doctrines
Paul testified for. repentance and faith
IN Christ The denominations today that
ones that are making notable success in
their work.
Absolutely no trial moved Paul If
him or II he was not accorded all the
the church His one aim was to preach
Christ crucified and 10 save the souls of
men To him all these things We're as
the CRYING of a babe whom he had been
sen+ TO care for. and must feed even If II
aid rebel at him. He loved souls Tor
Chr1st's sake.
paul gave a warning to the elders al
F>nhesus that We today would do we'll to
heed He told them to watch because
from among their own selves men would
arise speaking perverse things to draw
away disciples and surely il ever this
was true IL is true today. But Paul S
strongest suggestion for growth Is found
