ample which Jesus Christ has set for
us, we must first get right with God
said Rev. Rourke. He will take the
crumbled fragments Of the clay which
are already marred and in the hands
Of the great potter that clay will be
readjusted, and made over into a
thing Of beauty ana usefulness to the
glory of the Potter.
How many here tonight should get
right with God? You may say what
is the occasion that / should take this
step and get right with Him? You
may further ask what should / do to
get right and have the fragments OF
my life which have been spent in
iniquity and sin rcmodelcd by the
Potter?
Friends. I'm view Of the great ct,r
nifty. in view of the Master who suf-
fcrcd and died for us, We should ad.
just ourselves to Him who loves us
and died for us. We were in dark
ness and sin and because He loved US
and wished to become Precipitation
for our sins, He came on a long jour
ney He lived in this world subject.
ed to its temptations, its SORROWS and
pains and lived and died and went
to heaven to intercede for us.
Believe In Jesus Christ and you
will be saved Is a message from the
Word which shows us a path which
leads to salvation. If you do believe
Jesus has done all this for you, II
you believe in the past in the word
Of God, in the future and eternity, II
you believe in the atonement and eX-
plation of your sins, If you believe
these things, then happy shall you
be II you do them. If you believe
these things, then confession OF your
beliefe and credence in them, must
be made to God.
There are many here tonight who
are not right with God. / take II
as fact that some OF you have not
adjusted your lives and selves to Him.
You need not say that I have cast
reflections on you for am taking the
conduct of your lives as credentials
Any man or woman living who yet
has one sin to confess, Is not walking
in ihP light and is not right with
God.
There are many reasons why per-
sons are not right with God. one that
| may give is that we have neglect
ed the word Of God. It will not do
when we pass out of this life's door
and face our God and say that we
did not have the opportunity to read
the Bible. Bibles in this day are
cheap and many and there are few
persons who are not able to acQuaint
themselves with the word Of the
bible.
There Is another reason. People |
forget to pray. There are those who |
think It is humiliating to kneel down
in word Of prayer and ask for
guidance and help and Feaddship |
from the Great Leader. Those per-
sons are drifting away, farther and |
farther and should come back ana
he rcmodeled in the hands OF the Pot |
ter for their souls are marrod.
Then many forget to confess their
sins. God is willing to purge our
souls Of all sins If we only confess
thom and ask for forgiveness. There
are men who think that in order to
know the world II is necessary 10 dip
into sins, and those sins they would
blush to name in tho presence OF
their homes and families. There can
he no proper relationship between
those souls and the immaculate Son
until those sins are confessed and
forgiven.
"If only you could catch a glimpse
Of the suffering savior there would
be no delay I'm the reformation OF
your lives. However much you have
spoiled, however much has crumbled
ana wasted. He is waiting for the op-
portunlty to take up and remodel and
make a perfect model of your lives"
