One Man Looks
At God
CBy Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland MarylandD

We consider this week the words
of our Lord recorded in the fifth
chapter of the Gospel of Matthew:
You have heard that it was said,
an eye for an eye and tooth for
a tooth but | say to you do not
resist one who is evil But if
anyone strikes you on the right
cheek. turn TO him the other also;
and if anyone would sue you and
take your coat, let him have your
cloak as we'll; and if anyone
forces YOU to 90 a mile, go with
him two miles. Give to him who
begS from you, and do not refuse
him who would borrow from you
One of the most controversial
subjects of our time is whether OF
not pacifism should be the guide
for our relations with all men. In
plain words, pacirism should be
the guide for our relations with all
men. In plain words, pacifism is
following the Word of God when
He says. DO not resist one who is
evil"
Perhaps the best reason for any
one to argue against pacifism is
that the world is not Christian
Most people are willing to use this
as an argument for participation
in war. But the plain Word tells us
that it doesn't matter if the world
is evil" we are still not to re
sist."
To those Of you who are still not
convinced that Christ is right, al
low me to show you few cases
from history. First of all Christ
Himself did not resist the evil OF
Judgment on the part Of Roman
official who condemned Him to
death. You all know the outcome of
that conflict, that Christ emerged
victorious without ever having
raised a sword. Then as we look at
the early history of the Church,
when practically all Of the ire
mcndous might of the Roman en-
pirc was aimed at stamping out
Christianity which was regarded
as a stupid pestilcncc by most OF
the Roman citizens, we find that
many hundreds, perhaps even tens
of thousands of these people were
put to death But did the Church
die Certainly not, it prospered,
and within three hundred years be-
came the official religion of the
Roman empire. In more recent his
tory. who do you suppose won out
in the battle for human minds that
was characterized by Adolph Hit
Ter on the one hand. and Pastor

A Prerequisite To Learning
The Will of God

81 beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your
bodies q living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable SER
vice. And be not conformed
to this world: but be We
transformed by the renew
ing of your mind, that We
may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.-Roman l2:l, 2
Every person who processes to
believe in an Almighty, ALL
knowing, Ever present God
should desire to know and do
His will.
One Bible teacher, in COM
menting on Jacobs experience
recorded in Genesis 81, suggests
that valuable principles are given
for regulating the Christian in
his daily life when in doubt con-
corning the will of God.
How may one be sure of Gods
will concerning some issue? God
has provided definite guidance
mot that We must always look
for a passage of Scripture whose
terms are absolutely identical
with our own situation, but rath-
er must we search for some pas
sage which sets forth some
clearly defined principles which
are suited to meet our case"
Three steps lead one to deter
mining Gods will roncerning a
particular problem: a definite
conviction or desire; outward
circumstances which make it pos
sible or expedient, and a clear
word from God Scripture
suited to our case. Zone cannot
take just one of these steps in
making his decision; they mus,
be taken together.) But before
person can learn Gods will fol
his life, he must first follow the
advice given in our text.
We see that if one is to learn
and do Gods will, he must will,
ingly and completely devote his
body to the service of God q
Corinthians 1921; Matthew TO-,
37-39). That is, he will eat, drink
dress, work, play, read, etc.
with one purpose in mind - tC
keep himself fit and ready fol
Gods service. Our text says that
our bodies must become a "liv,
ing sacrifice"
A sacrifice is taking that which
is precious or of great value tc
us and giving it to God for His
use. It is denying ourselves OF
that which we would like sc
that Gods will might be done.
1t is natural for person tc
have a great concern for his
body. Our text, along with Mat,
thew 6:3l-33, teaches that {
Christian should have a greater
concern that Gods will might be
done in and through him. He
desires to be well-pleasing tc
God. So he will not permit the
habits and customs of the world
to become a pattern for his life
Instead his thoughts are to be
nodded by Gods Word and then
worked out in his everyday life
Thus one places himself in g
position to know and do what is
good, well-pleasing and perfect
