The Way to God
REPENT
To repent means to turn away from your disobedience to God’s Word, the Bible, in genuine sorrow. Disobedience to God’s way is called “sin.”

The Invasion
Sirens blasted the quiet night in London, the capital of the vast British Empire. Thousands rushed into basements and underground shelters to escape the coming invasion.
The Gospel According to the Holy Scriptures
In the last issue we considered the “Gospel According to the Reader’s Digest,” based on the Unitarian definition of God, quoting the late Christopher Reeve. “The Unitarian,” he said, “believes that God is good, and believes that God believes that man is good. Inherently. The Unitarian God is not a God of vengeance. And that is something I can appreciate.”

Tectonic Events
“O lord my God, thou art very great;. . . who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou hast set a bound that they [the waters] may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth” (Psalm 104:1, 5, 9). Tectonic, according to the dictionary, refers to a “carpenter, builder” (a technic). “Designating, of or pertaining to changes in the structure of the earth’s crust, the forces responsible for such deformation, or the external forms produced.” Of course God is that great carpenter and builder of the earth. “All things were made by him” (John 1:3), and He continually sustains them, “upholding all things by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3).
Purity
“Keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22) For an example of perfect purity, look to our Lord Jesus Christ.
