Weekly
Sermon
B y Rev. Cecil Mulloy

"And now, Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is in thee:" Psalms 1877
The Psalmist was meditating
when he uttered this sentence,
which is our text. He looked around
him and saw how brief the earth
ly life is, and then how unsatiSfy-
ing it is, and he commented on
these two facts about the earthly
life. Then he said the things of hui
man life cannot satisfy the human
spirit. Whatever human life may
achieve, whatever it brings, what
ever it gives, it cannot satisfy the
human spirit. Jesus told us that
when He said: What shall it
profit a man. if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own
soul?" Let us look at the different
things that keep people waiting
and away from Christ.
Why are you not a christian? Do
you answer: IT am not one be-
cause I cannot believer" What is
it that you cannot believe? Grant
ed, there r things about God
and religion that we cannot under
stand but through faith we can be
lieve in God and the Bible. God
does not ask us to understand,
but to believe. I cannot understand
electricity but I believe in it. I
cannot understand how a cow
manufactures milk from grass.
but I believe it. Jesus can be
tested. He can be tried, and that
is exactly what He asks us to do.
Take Jesus at His word and try
Him to see if what He says is
true or not.
Why n you not a Christian?
Do you say: IT am not a christ
ian because I have too much to
give up?" Jesus does not want you
