A MESSAGE FRUM t t 1 QM., V REV. I. A. RINGENBEHG THE PRESIDENT he apostle Paul gave most time! ly and pointed exhortations to Timo- thy, his son in the faith, These exhor- tations indicated the deep desire of the Apostle for this young minister. Three of these are so inclusive that they become basic to the others. There could be no more fitting words to young people who are preparing to serve in the Gospel than these, es- pecially in days such as are upon us. Therefore, they are passed on to you as my sincerest hearts' desire for you. Endure hardness as a good sol- dier of Iesus Christ. There is no call- ing that dare demand more of hard- ships and self-denial than the Gospel ministry, whether at home or abroad. lt will become necessary for you to stand firmly against most deceptive and insidious evils. Unless you are ready to take your stand regardless of cost, and if needs be alone, you will be ensnared and defeated by it. Study to show thyself approved unto God. lt will need to be remembered that you have only one person to please, God, lt is He who sends you forth, cares for you: and it is to Him that you must give account. lt may seem necessary today to please certain other folks, but if in doing so you lose the approval of God, your seeming advantage will be your ruin and you will end in defeat. Preach the word. You have only one message to carry, the Word of God. Others may in- sist on a large ministry, but you may well content yourself to be the messenger and mouthpiece of God. His Word will meet your own need for time and eternity, It alone will furnish food for the souls of your listeners. It presents the only way of sal- vation for lost souls and a lost world. lt will stand when all else fails and falls. God entrusts you with the glorious privilege of being His messenger boy, to carry His all important Word to those who perish without it. x ' S an Tlltl mm VI' 'I'IlF F001' I 2 ll Ill
