November 6. Another chilly morning, but a very pretty day. We set the clocks back last night, and I was truly grateful for an extra hour of sleep. This morning, Mrs. Surrett started teaching on “A Woman’s Legacy - Godly or Ungodly”, starting with the life of Eve and how, though she was created perfect and for Adam’s benefit, she did evil to Adam and left a legacy of pain in childbirth, a need to be ruled by her husband, and the shame of nakedness. She not only left these legacies to her next generation but to every woman who came after her. Principle form the lesson: “You must obey God’s Word, and keep your word, in order to leave a godly legacy for others. Pastor Ogle’s preaching this morning, which the Lord changed for him yesterday from his original plan, had as its text the first few verses of Romans 13. It covered eleven “themes” relating to the present situation in our country: 1) God is sovereign and He still will be after Tuesday. 2) God sets up authority. 3) God wants us to submit to authority no matter who it is. 4) God sometimes uses wicked people to accomplish his purposes. 5) God wants us to be obedient before it is illegal to do so. 6) Governments have always been polluted because men are sinners. (If we look to human government as our saviour, we are in trouble. 7) Wicked rulers do not spell the end of Christianity. 8) God wants us to pray for our leaders. 9) Just because we have a right does not mean we should always use it. 10) Good people can disagree, and should do so with love and grace. 11) Don’t be more American than you are Christian. (My citizenship is in heaven.) Conclusion: Will you pray for our country? This evening, Pastor Ogle reviewed some things that he had been teaching regarding apologetics. “But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:21 It is God’s desire that those who have never been told, who have never heard the gospel, should see and understand. Who will go and tell them? Who will send them preachers?
