Thi ,,·ord i indeed significant in the e da,·s ,vhen there is a notice- ., able lack of reverence and respect, and ,, hen piety toward God is ridi– culed. Attention needs to be drawn to the fact that there is far too much irreverence and disrespect in the churches today, and too many hri tian homes in which there is not enough respect and reverence demonstrated among the members of the household. Too many Christian people and institutions seem to be un\\ illing and afraid to administer di cipline, careless about the proper respect and dignity, and hesitant to manifest re,rerence and piety in their de, otion to God. Hence Peter's state– ment ( II Peter 3: 10-11) is of par– ticular importance and relevance: ..But the day of the Lord will come . . . \\'hat manner of persons ought ) e to be in holy living and god– li,zess ( eusebeias) . . . ?,, Why not have a 11 bundle lot" of THE OH O INDEPENDENT BAPTIST sent to your church each month? 25 copies would cost but $25.00 per year. 50 copies - $50.00.
