It affords such a cozy com- fortable feeling whether one be- longs to a communty, the home, church or school. Americans are ‘Joiners’ and the myriad organi- zation is evidence of the popu- | lar trend. One may be born in a| community and change about as circumstances may dictate, but one naturally takes pride in his! community where-ever it may } be. He normally comes into a! home and is a member of a fam- ily of which he should be proud | no mattér how humble it may be. | There are many groups one | can join’ for a ‘consideration’ while others Jay emphasis on} qualifications. The select group ; provides a’program of mutual interest and the tendency is to! work hard*at the objective Other groups deliberately choose ; their members. The church} seems to be one group. which chooses. We generally think that | we join the church. Really God | has chosen us. | “Many people labor under the illusion that they are God’s| chosen people simply because of | their chuitch membership. It de-| fends on the definition. If they refer to the building or the or-| ganization, they may be correct. | If they refer to “a group of be- lievers,” they may or may not be | members..It. depends on their | faith. Many are called but few} chosen. (Mat. 20:16) | “It should. be an occasion of | rejoicing when chosen to be par- | takers of-al the benefits of a choice organization such as_ the} church. We all prize life here and only a comparatively few, mostly | irresponsible souls, have seen fit to end their sojourn on earth. ‘Those chosen can have life more abundantly. They are also pro-|} mised “eternal life” (John 3:15) | and such descriptions of that life beyond makes it most at-| tractive.-There is every ind i tion that the abundant life here | ond the life to come as promised by Jesus is the most attractive of all offers. The reward is most attractive and desirable—joy in serving with Christian people in| a common..cause, the peace of mind where complete trust is placed in the leadership of the Master. Such confidence pro-! vides the abundant life here and the greatest assurance of a hap- py and ‘glorious eternity. 5 “Having been chosen, or join- ed, there? are certain stipulations which we often overlook. Simon Peter, who ought to know as much as anyone about the re- quirements, has written them out for us, “Ye also, as lively stones, afe* built up a spiritual | house, aeholy priesthood, to of- ter up spiritual sacrifices accept- | ab) to Ged,» by Jesus Christ, the’ organization ehureh, of belieyers, is one with a full and active*program. It does not mean li in some other secu- lar orgamization to such an ex tent habit becomes necessary to invent for failure to God's work. It_@ves not mean that the hard wegk one does all week, plus his“tey off for recreation which offéhunfits him for duty in God'srganization on the Sab- bath, mQk@s of him an active} member.It.does mean that God's | chosen “people are so thrilled with thél.privileges and bless- ings, that they are indeed “live ly ston@§""in the building Godd has planned, “To Wetocen means that we | are to abit a spiritual house and offar-wp sacrifices accept- able to Zjod. One cannot con- ceive of-@spiritual house model- ed after"the@ specifications laid down by Jesus, where love and | kindnessf“sympathy and -under- standing-4 ave not paramount. God's spiritual house is outstand- | ing in that there is no poison spread by a juicy bit of gossip based on untruth. It was such} poison spread by the enemies of Jesus which moved the frenzied | mob to shout, “Crucify him. | eusations ‘should be based on | fact, and it"was both from sym- | pathy and understanding that | Jesus sent word to his enemy, | Herod, by saying, “go tell that fox.” (Luke 13:32).
