The Ohio Independent Baptist, November 1964

rattern of adL1lt . eek to becon1e ,a "graoiOLt hri s- ti an". I Corii nothian 14:40 ~ay "Let all thi ng be done decenrtly and in order.' Do we r ealize that the Lord i concerned about our behavi,or on church? We may be ·angering God mor e than we file plea ing Him. In I aiah I we read ,th,ait thi w.a true of God's people Isnael . H e s•aid He was "Weary to bear ,~hem' '; tih·at g their form of wor s·hip. (ver e 14. ) In Ecclesiastes 5: 1 we read "Keep thy foot when ,thou goest iruto itJhe house of God, and be more ready to HEAR, th,an to give the sacrifice of .fools· for they consi,der not ohait ,they do evi·1.' In Revelation 1: 3 scripture say "Blessed is he ,tha t r eadeth and ithey that HEAR the words of this pro– phecy, and keep those nhings which are written inher ein . . ." If we 1are not listening or we are keeping others from hearing we are distorting tthe pur,pose for attenddng. I challenge you to "behave thyself in the house of God' ', 1 to "consider one an,otber' ' and ~o "esteem t he ooher better than rthyseJf."
