Graven This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constant– ly, that t}iey will have believed in God might rbe care/ it l to maintain good 1rvorks. - Ti thus 3: 8. The epi tle from which this teach– ing is taken was written by the apostle Paul to Titus, who was a fellow labor– er with him in the gospel ministry. A one reads through this short portion of holy Scripture he is awakened to the fact that the apostle is giving di– vine in tructions to Titus and tho e who should subsequently follow him in the gospel ministry. Several ex– hortations are to be found in this book dealing with different subjects, but all focusing in the one direction of uprightne in living for the child of God. A divine duty is placed upon the gospel minis ter to continually ex– hort God' children into holy living. God has two primary desires for the people of thi earth: (I) that they come to the saving knowledge of the truth as revealed in Jesus Christ, and (2) that those who trust in the Lord for salvation should maintain good Groundbreaking Services Grace Baptist Church, Lima, had a groundbreaking service on Sunday, Sept. 30. Construction on the new building i expected to be started very soon, Bernard E. Horn, pastor, announced. The new church will be 39 x 93 feet with full basement for Sunday School and an auditorium which will eat about 300 people. The building will be frame construction with buff brick veneer. Members of the building com– mittee are Donald Trost, chairman; Thomas Jacoby, James Graham, William J ackson and Joseph Stocker. good works works. God expects that those who do believe in the Son of God will, by the grace of God, repent of all their sinful habits, pleasures, and deed · and that they will be careful to live holy and upright lives so a to commend the gospel to their loved ones, friends, and neighbors. The good works of our text are re– quired of tho e who have believed. God does not require good works for salvation, in fact, good works, re– gardless of how meritorious they may be, can never save a man from his ins. The Bible teaches us that salva– tion from the penalty and power of sin i by faith in Christ, but it also teache that good works must accom– pany or follow belief in Him. The con tant desire of every Believer hould be to live a righteou life free from the habits and pleasures of sin, to walk upright in all hi ways to plea e the Lord in all his doing , to keep himself un potted from the world, and to uphold all the holy commandments of his God and Saviour. Such a testimony will give great trength to the go pel ministry. The OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST
