Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY BILLY H. RING, Pastor Jackson Church of the Nazarene WORDS AND MEDITATIONS Isaiah’s vision of God sitting upon a throne, “high and lifted up,” also gave him a revelation of his own uncleanness. His immediate response was, “Wo c is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips.” But his vision went beyond his own defilement until he saw the evils of his environment. “I dwell in the midst of a people of un clean lips” (Isaiah (5:5). Not many statements more aptly describe the true condition of our society—“unclean lips” ex pressing themselves in profanity; “unclean lips” expressing them selves in vulgarity; “unclean lips” expressing themselves in lies and half-truths; “unclean lips” ex pressing themselves in evil sur mises; “unclean lips” expressing themselves in vicious gossip. What a multitude of evils from “unclean lips”! So many are enamored by the witticisms of the world with the subtle, double meaning that is dipped in filth. Some are im pressed with the proud protests against the providences of God. Some are obsessed with receiving and passing on the latest “news” regardless of whose reputation or influence is affected. We too “dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.” Asa result, ‘ sex, violence, and perversion” in movies, television, and modern literature are not only accepted but demanded. But the prophet learned that God's cure for “unclean lips” was radical, penetrating, and in ward. No outward “lipsalve” cures this malady! “Unclean lips” are only the outward expression of the deeper and more serious impurity of the heart. God’s cure involved the fiery touch of the “live coal . . . from off the altar.” Then iniquity was taken awny and sin purged. Pure hearts produce clean lips. Even the Psalmist caught a glimpse of this truth when he prayed, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, 0 Lord ...” (Psnlms 19:14).

Inner purging of the soul is vital and necessary. It is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. When the foun tain is pure, both the words of lips and the meditations of the heart are acceptable. United Pentecostal Church 15 Main Street Rev. Janies L.

ABUNRANCE ¥ • / |V ' "" * 7/ / Jesus said,“l am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Now it is a tribute to the intelligence of men that no one thinks He was talking about the material abundance we enjoy today. Everybody knows He was talking about something else. But what else? What could Christ add to your possessions? What can He give men that might account for the logical distinction we readily make between a life of abundance and the abundant life? Himself! That’s it. That’s all. Precisely what He said: “I am come that...” To know Him and to know the meaning His Life has for our lives is to discover the abundant life!
