Rev. Elan preached a strong SER I
mon, taking for his text, Phil. 4:19, |
And my God shall supply every need
OF yours according to his riches in
glory in Christ Jesus The speaker
requested his audience to read the
whole letter saying that it contained I
the richest nuggets of gold. When I
Paul wrote these words to the little I
company of disciples at Philippi, he
was in prison at Rome. These dis
ciples had remembered Paul and had I
sent one of their number with gift I
from them to supply his needs. The
Kindness of these brethren touched I
his heart. He wrote them this letter
will supply all their needs. Paul had
learned, however, that in whatever
condition, in abundance or poverty, in |
Joy or sorrow, at home Or abroad, to
be content He was great giver. He
poured out his life for others Be- |

sum of five dollars per year to the

Look at the universally of my
text. The words are applicable to
any condition of life. The poor can
hear the words and find comfort. The
rich need them-for the rich In this

their needs with money. So, in power
ty or plenty, in JOY or sorrow my text
has place, My God shall supply all
your needs.'' Notice how personal the
message is. My God, while He is the
God of all, He is my God-while Jesus
is the Saviour of ALL and while he
died for all yet he is my Savious He
died for me. While he wept over Jeru-
salem he wept over the individual

God" The Psalmist cried. THE Lord
is my Shepherd" Jesus did not die
for all men any more than he died for

There is also In my text positive
tone, my God shall supply all your
needs" l like positive religion. We
need it We need more positive
preaching. Christ was kind, yet he
was very positive. There was no
nlincing words with Him-Paul took
up the same tone. To him there was
no uncertain sound in regard to his
faith in God. we know all things
work together for good to all who
love and serve Him.
Then my text has perfect tone.
