GOD
and
YOU
The angel of the Lord encampelh
round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them.
O taste and see that the Lord is
gogd: blessed is the man that trust
eth in him. (Psalm 34:7-8)
Upon his return from the moon, Col. James B. Irwin said,
‘I have encountered nothing on Apollo 15 or in this age of
space and science that dilutes my faith in God. While I was
an the moon, In fact, I felt a sense 6f inspiration, a feeling
that someone was with me and watching over me, protecting
me. There were several times when tasks seemed to be
Impossible - but they worked out all right every time.”
Surely, a positive awareness of God’s presence is the
greatest satisfaction in life. And only those who receive
Jesus Christ by faith shall ever know this supreme joy,
either here, on the moon or in Heaven.
Some people find it difficult or impossible to give serious
thought to the presence of a living and loving God Who can help
them in the practical, everyday business of living. Any suggestion
of a personal relationship to God brings only an embarrassing
silence. Of course there is nothing to be ashamed of. Yet, we
are ashamed. But Jesus said, “If you are ashamed of me and
of my words in this sinful and adulterous generation, then will
I be ashamed of you in the presence of my Father and His
holy angels.”
There's a time and place for all things, including worship
and other spiritual matters. But there’s also the constant
danger of neglecting these things to our own everlasting
destruction.
One name for Jesus Christ is Emmanuel, meaning, God with
us* And that’s what Christmas is all about. Take Christ out of
it, as so many already have, and there isn’t much left.
Today, the world is more corrupt than at any time since
the flood. Drugs, drunkeness, hippy joints, gang wars, robbery,
murder and prostitution flourishes practically unhindered by
the law and with little opposition from the church. In near-by
Atlanta, for instance, approximately 225 persons have been
murdered this year, in addition to countless rapes, robberies
and such like. The “underworld” of the past is just the everyday
world now.
Against the sordid background of so much sin and evil in
the world, how good and refreshing to hear someone speak out
about the reality of the Divine Presence.
Thank God for Col. James B. Irwin.
