WHITE DEER NEWS
THURSDAY, AUGUST 14,1975
Weekly Message ....
From Our W.D.
By Melvin Lane
Minister, White Deer
Church of Christ
A central, paramount, and
pervading theme of the Bible
is the concern and desire of
almighty God for the best that
man has to offer. This prin-
ciple cuts sharply across the
grain of human nature and con-
demns every lukewarm and med-
iocre effort to serve Jehovah
God.
The principle of giving our
best to the Lord-which is de-
manded by the very nature of
true Christian discipleship -
needs to be restored by Chris-
, tians in the twentieth century.
In Jesus' vivid account of the
rich man and Lazarus, the beg-
gar required little for satisfact-
ion, desiring only the crumbs
that fell from the rich man's
table. This was all he expect-
ed and presumably satisfied the
desires that he had.
God, however, expects more
than the crumbs or leftovers.
God requires the best to be
given to Him. This explains
the unceasing conflict that is
being waged between the sel-
fishness of man and the will
of God.
Everyone wants the best mat-
erially that is possible for him
to obtain. Whether it is an
automobile, house, furniture,
clothing, or seat at the theater

or ball game, we want the best
available. In the material
world this is quite natural. But
should not the reverse of this
principle, be exemplified in
the spiritual world? Should not
the reverse of this principle
be exemplified in the spirit-
ual world? Should not we be
as concerned with giving the
best also as well as getting and
receiving the best for our-
selves?
Since everyone would like
to the best himself, why not
offer the very best to God?
Since the best is universally
requested by all, men should
make an attempt to give the
best to those who deserve it.
This should include God, not
only because He deserves it,
but because He demands it.
God has always demanded the
best man has to offer and has
reciprocated by giving back
the best to His creation. In
the Old Testament it is evi-
dent that the best animals
were required as sacrifices.
The Jews offered one-tenth of
their possessions. In the early
church, they gave the best also,
selling all and bringing it to
the Apostle's feet. Christians
are taught to love "because
He first loved us. "
Today God's relationship
with His creation remains the
same. Those who give the best
will still be given the best
God has to offer in return. In
place of animal sacrifices,
God now requests the best
man can offer in praise, ded-
ication, and service.
He wants His children to
give Him freely and openly
the very best they have to of-
fer-the last measure of their
devotion. This love must ex-
ceed all other loves of man;
this dependence must cast a-
way every doubt, fear, and
worry that might enter His mind
and this service must excel all
other efforts of man to serve!
One of the greatest examp-

les of a demand that seemed
impossible and unreasonable
took place when God through
His Son told eleven men to
take the teachings, examples,
and influence of their Master -
to "all the world. " What a
task for just eleven men! Yet
because they had given the
best they had, they did not
hesitate or even question, but
they set to work with an abound-
ing faith in the power of Christ
to sustain them.
This command was not me-
ant for these men alone but for
God's children in every age. .
as appicable today as in the
first centrury. And it can only
be carried out today in the samt
way-by giving the very best ,
not the crumbs or the leftovers,
but supreme effort. Even if it
leads to paths beyond the depth
of our present faith, it can be
carried out only by giving all.

many repairs had to be made.
Come see us. We'll be glad to
show off our new office and light-

closed, visitors thronged the
grounds. All are anxious to see
Freedom Hall when it is com-
pleted. Every signal is GO now-
