SERMO
(Editor’s Note Rev. Herbert A.
Guiler submitted his sermonette
for publication in The Journal a
few days before his sudden death
on October 20. In itself, his message
reflects the life of this minister, who
never deviated from the path he
chose early in life. In closing, Rev.
Guiler said in part, “Seek Ye the
Lord while He may be found. Call
ye upon Him while He is near.”
We submit his last written work,
believing that it serves more as an
eulogy to a pastor who lived and
died in the work of Christ.)
FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
By the late
Rev. Herbert A. Guiler
Text: “That which we have
seen and heard declare we unto
you, that ye may have fellowship
with us and truly our fellowship is
with the Fcrther, and with his son,
Jesus Christ. (I John 1 3.)
It is quite evident that John is
speaking of his own personal exper
ience rather than an abstract theo
logical principle. He uses the langu
age that denotes a very close rela
tionship with another. What does he
mean by saying we truly have fel
lowship with the Father and with
Jesus? Is he not saying that God
and man are related to each other
in a way other than that of the cre
ated thing to the creator? In other
words, God and man must hold
things in common.
One has said that only beings of
like nature can have fellowship
with another. A dog may be well
treated and trusted, but parents
can have fellowship with their
children. A tree may stand, admired
by passing generations but the
members of a family weep and
laugh together. The reason is ap
parent the children have some of
their parent’s nature, they resemble
them in disposition as well as out
ward appearance. If we can fellow
ship with God it is because we par
take of his devine nature. The late
Mr. Moody said, “No man has a real
desire to walk with God until he
has been redeemed by the blood of
Christ, and brought into fellowship
with God. If we have turned away
from the sanctuary and have ne
glected the statutes of God, and
find our intellectual and spiritual
food outside the Bible and good lit
erature, and are seeking satisfaction
in the amusement of the world, we
are certainly not in fellowship with
God.”
The worldly pleasures and amuse
ments certainly look cheap to the
man or woman who is in fellowship
with God and Jesus Christ. No one
wants to entertain the world and its
foolery and sin who is entertaining
Cod the Father and Jesus Christ
the Son.
To fellowship with God must in
the very nature of the case mean a
separation from the world. God s
ways and the ways of the world
have never coincided in all the past
ages and never will. Nothing is
more condemned in the Word than
worldliness. Hear the Word, “Love
not the world neither the things
that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.” The great com
pany of make-believe Christians
may contend that they can have
fellowship with God and flirt with
the world and have a gay life, but
the real spirit filled Christian knows
he cannot and furthermore knows
he does not want for he has some
thing that is a thousand times better
than the richest staff the world can
tiot out. The natural man has the
world in him, but the plan of sal
vation dethrones the old world, and
enthrones God.
One reason why some people re
sort to the world for their pleasure
is because it is the best they know
ebout. To fellowship with God, we
must go to his terms, not try to
bring him to ours. God cannot save
the unyielded life. Many a person
would like to go to heaven after
while who does not want God to
control him here.
The new birth means a complete
change of the nature. We are no
longer satisfied with a social gos
pel, we want the gospel that tells us
about salvation saved to the ut
termost.
Not this: “Be not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: what
fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? And what com
munion hath Christ with Belial? Or
what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel? And what agree
ment hath the temple of God with
idols?.............wherefore come ye
out from among them, and be ye
separate saith the Lord, and touch
not the unclean thing and I will
receive you and I will be a Father
to you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Al

There are great lessons in commonplace objects!
The chain, for example, is a parable of Brotherhood.
Its rough, weathered links, grasping one another firm
ly as they lend their strength to a common burden,
silently echo a Bible command.
Strange, is it not, that men—whose inventive genius
created the chain—have been slow to apply its simple
principle in human undertakings? Into lifeless iron we
have molded the strength of cooperation but in a liv
ing society we have let selfishness and individualism
destroy noble ideals.
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law
of Christ." One of the many lessons in wholesome liv
ing which the Church teaches men!
Wise is the man who seeks and heeds these truthsl
Happy the community whose citizens, as church
goers, apply their faith to life!
