Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the king-
dom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many won-
ders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew
you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!
We voted on that. He who believes and is
baptized will be saved
He who believes and is baptized will

Repent therefore of
this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be
forgiven you
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

For God so loved the world that He

His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men,

before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven

And hereby we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of truth, there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye,

The Church
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid
upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
and the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit
these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke,
exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and
dragging off men and women, committing them to prison
So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. But I say,
have they not heard? Yes indeed: Their sound has gone out to all the earth. And
their words to the ends of the world
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with
wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the
message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the power of Godbut we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews astumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God
will give Him the throne of His father David
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know
God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save
those who believe
Howbeautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!

Quick Commentary on Crucial Verses Jeremiah 29:10-13
As a
nation, Amer-
ica has fallen from
the lofty biblical ideals of
her founding fathers. CouldIsraels warning also be ours?
Could this promise also be ours,
if we turn and seek God with
all our hearts? Does He have
thoughts of peace toward
us and not of evil, of
a future and a
hope?

Two men went up to the temple to pray, one
a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed
about himself; God, I thank you that I am not like other men robbers,
evildoers, adulterers or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and
give a tenth of all I get. But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not
even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, God have mercy on me, a

of your Lord
Therefore strengthen the hands
which hang down, and the feeble
knees, and make straight paths for your
feet, so that what is lame may not be
dislocated, but rather healed. Pursue
peace with all men, and holiness,
without which no one will see the Lord

None of us liveth to himself, and no
man dieth to himself
nurture andadmonition of the Lord
I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart
from it
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like
arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of ones youth

What Shall I Give the Children?
Children want to be hugged, kissed, and held. Theywant to feel that love which strong arms encircling them
can give. Show them that you trust in the living God.

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the
older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience, not
slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things that they admonish
the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet,
chaste, homemakers, good obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God
may not be blasphemed

PerspectiveTwenty years ago we dreamed a house.Years of talking, Planning,Months of sweat and toil Transformed the dream To full reality With walls and windows, floors and doors.
OUR house... But we freely loaned our house to God.For all those years, the joy of ownership was sweet.Then the horror: Fire! Fire! Flames, leaping, licking, cracklingEngulfed our house

Our things, Our lives A monster of a size no one could stop: All all wed loved of things, all wed known and owned Were OURS no more;Stark fear and panic filled my heartAnd then, at last, acceptance:The raging fire had burned my world awayAnd in that aweful hour of severance and defeat I let it go.
Now, how strange the feeling in my heartAs I paint and varnish,Make decisions, measure cuts And work, Raising up replacement walls on the funeral pyre Of the house that once was OURS,
I am thinking always That this tool is being readied As equipment in Gods hands; THESE walls THIS lamp THESE chairs Are HIS; But, for some little frame of timeHes lending them to us As stewards, To tend and use for Him.
I own nothing any moreAnd not a thing owns me....

But whoso hath this worlds goods, and
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him,
how dwelleth the love of God in him? It
is more blessed to give than to receive.
Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee: then whose
shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

So you must obey them and
do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice
what they preach
Everything they do is done for men
to see
You give a tenth
of your spices, but you have neglected the more important matters of the law
On
the outside you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside you are full of
hypocrisy and wickedness
You nullify the word
of God for the sake of your tradition

Love does not envy
thirty pieces of silver For the love of money
is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in theirgreediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows
Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance as didalso your rulers Which none of the rulers of this ageknew; for had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory commands allmen everywhere to repent

As a team of co-workers we call ourselvesWorld Evangelism....
In Volume 81 of Te Voice of ruth International,we fea-tured pictures of American partners of World Evangelism, doing
some of the physical work in the production and distribution ofliterature. We realize that we would be very limitedin what we could do if we did not have co-workersoverseas who are boots on the ground to do thepreaching [radio, V, and congregational], writing[Te Voice of ruth International in local languages,monthly magazines, tracts, Bible courses, and study
books], and follow-up work [home studies, Gospelmeetings, and lectureships] to bring
new souls into the Kingdom,and to continually strengthenthe church as a whole. Tisissue is a partial coverage, par-ticularly of our brethren in India
with whom we have worked fordecades. Te front cover pic-tures the original generation withwhom we have worked, in somecases, since 1968. Te back covershows the younger generation thatis now shouldering some of these
responsibilities. Of course, through literature and
other mass media tools, we alsowork with brethren in the Philip-pines, Viet Nam, China, Myanmar,Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana,Nigeria, anzania, Guyana, and
many other countries.
