commandment.
Worship Demands Reverence
“Thou shalt not take the name
og Jehovah in vain.” This is first,
of all a commandment against
perjury. Many people are prone to
seek the support of oaths for
every statement he makes. The
readiness with which he calls
upon everything in heaven and
earth fo witness to his truthful
ness leads him to a gross misuse
of solemn swearing. The com
mandment is also directed against
profane swearing. Profanity is a
habit which grows upon a man. It
makes him obnoxious in the
sight of many people, but worst
of all ruins his power to appreciate
God properly in prayer. There arc
more ways than one to take the
name of God in vain. A man may
take the name of God in jest and
use that which is holy in a com
mon way. He may take the .name
of God in anger and curse his fel-
lowman. Perhaps the most offence
in which men become so blind to
the true nature of spiritual things
that they talk solemnly about
their devotion to God, w’hile they
keep on sinning; profess to be loy
al to htm while all their life si
the personification of apostasy.
The Spirit and Truth
The whole sum of the matter is
that God is spirit, and we, because
we have spiritual capacities, can
establish and maintain relation
ship with Him. Our Lord declared
that with his coming, true wor
shipers everywhere would realize
the secondary character of every
thing in worship, save contact
with the living God and would
theerfore worship the Father in
spirit and truth. Nothing pleases
God but sincerity and faith. We
are sincere when we sek Him as
life's highest goal. We are faithful
when we cast ourselves upon his
mercy, counting of no real avail
the petty little helps which men
employ In their search for him.
We are saved by faith and faith
alone. We must worship God in an
abiding spirit of faith if we would
please him.
