ARE YOU TOO EASILY PLEASED?
“Well, I’m perfectly satisfied -with myself. You need not be con-
cerned in me and my religion.” Have you said it9 “I’m satisfied with
my church and my doctrine.”
The person who makes a statement like this has missed the entire
tenor of the Lord’s religion. Jesus’ religion is not designed to satisfy
man, hut God. Christ himself said; “I do always the things that are
pleasing to Him.”
You haye heard people say, “I am satisfied with my baptism.” But...
is God satisfied with it? That is the main thing. That is the point in
baptism. It was never designed to please or satisfy mankind. The
'only baptism God has indicated as acceptable to Him *s conditional
upon a number of things. It must be preceded by faith, for “withoiyt
faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto God.” Heb. 11:6. This
faith is that Jesus is the Son of God and that God hath raised him
from the dead. Rom. 10:9. Infants do not believe this, therefore an
infant never pleases God in being baptized.
Repentance is always necessary before baptism. “Repent and be
japtized.” Acts 2:38. This also rules out infant baptism as acceptable
to God.
Baptism must be preceded by confession of faith, Rom. 10:10. One
does not confess how he feels, nor what he feels, hot that he is al-
ready saved and wants to be baptized because of it, but with the
mouth confession is made of faith in Christ and unto salvation.
Baptism is not a matter of your own satisfaction, nor of the church’s
will or satisfaction. It must satisfy God. David said, “I shall be
satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.” Ps. 17:15. If you are
satisfied before that, you are too easily satisfied.

TO BUY THE BEST!
GOODYEAR
TIRES
are the best!
-V
In times like these, far-
sighted people naturally’
buy the best. And when it
comes to tires, they buy,
the best tires: That’s why,
more car owners today are
turning to Goodyear tires.
That’s why we’re having a hard time keeping
Goodyear tires in stock — despite the fact that.,.
Goodyear makes more tires than any other manu-
facturer in the world. Even if we are temporarily j
out of your tire size, it will pay you to place your
order now for earliest possible delivery.
Trade new miles for old
90% of all tire trouble occurs in the last 10% of
tire life. Why take chances with worn, smooth
tires? We’ll trade new Goodyear miles for the
remaining unsafe mileage in your present tires.
Get out of the “danger zone” — go Goodyear.
And for safer driving, get LifeGuard Safety Tubes.
Remember, if we don’t have
your tire size today, it will
pay you to wait for new Good-
years— the best!
Come in...let’s talk tires, tubes, terms
