Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Redemption of Society These criticisms call for the earnest attention of members of the Church. In thinking over the questions they raise one important fact ought to be faced immediately, because the ignoring of it misleads all who are either judging the Church or trying to mend it. The Church of God is no creation of its present members. They come into it as into a great inheritance. Not only its gospel, but its greatest institutions, its life of fellowship, and its evangelical commission, are all of them instituted by its great Author and Leader. We did not make them; it is ours to use them; but we are not free to lay them aside. Now we find the Church equipped for dealing with the individual. When the child is born into the world, the baptismal font is ready and the solemn service which recognizes him as a member of Christ´s body, the Church. In the home, which is a true extension of the Church, he is taught at his mother´s knee to say ´Gentle Jesus.´ Then the Sunday school is ready to teach him the ´sweet story of old´; and as the boy or girl gets to years of choice and the assertion of individual will, there is ´Decision Day,´ or a Confirmation Service, followed by that great central gathering of the Church where the members of Christ eat the bread and drink the wine that signifies their spiritual nourishment, their consecration pledge to be brothers to each other and witnesses for their Master, and their great hope of His coming. Throughout life the Church provides counsel, warning, consolation, and inspiration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
