March 19. Cold north wind most of the day, but enjoyed pleasant weather later this afternoon. Mrs. Surrett started teaching on Proverbs this morning with an introduction to this Book of Wisdom. Because Solomon humbled himself as a servant and a little child, God was able to exalt him and use him as a king and as a writer of the proverbs. There were several visitors in our class and quite a few in church. Kristen Champlin’s parents were there, and I enjoy so much the sweet fellowship with her mom in talking about the Lord. Pastor Ogle preached from Matthew chapter 8 on Miracles. “We must by faith believe that Jesus can do anything within His will.” This evening, he spoke on Biblical principles regarding entertainment. 1. Does it bring glory to God? I Corinthians 10:31 2. What does it cause you to think on? Philippians 4:8 3. What does it cause you to look on? Job 31:1; Psalm 101:3 4. Do you delight in violence? Psalm 11:5 5. Do you buy up the time? Ephesians 5:16 6. Are you simple concerning evil? Romans 16:19 7. Do you avoid appearance of evil? I Thessalonians 5:22 8. Do you delight in that which is opposed to God? Romans 3:12ff; 1:19-32 9. Are you distinct, set apart from the world? Ephesians 5:20 10. Do you let it control you? II Corinthians 6:12 11. Does it cause you to be discontent? I Timothy 6:8; Hebrews 13:5 Didn’t get home until late this evening, as we chatted quite a while with Mrs. Bissel. After getting home, I had a bite to eat, finished putting the animations in the presentation, and did the dishes. “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” II Timothy 4:5 Good advice for any servant of the Lord: watch in all things (that is, keep sober, be discreet, be discerning, be wise in avoiding errors or evil, be wise in selecting the best means to accomplish a purpose, be circumspect, wary; don’t be hasty in council or action; take due deliberation, reflection, and caution so as not to encounter unnecessary hazard). Endure afflictions.
