I was pleased last year to proclaim 1983 the year of the Bible. But you know, a group called the ACLU severely criticized me for doing that. Well, I wear their indictment like a badge of honor.

ANGEL DECOYS

10 REASONS FOR GOING TO CHURCH

By: The 26th President of the United States - Theodore Roosevelt
"Ladies' Home Journal" 1917

1. In this actual world a churchless community, a community where men have abandoned and scoffed at or ignored their religious needs, is a community on the rapid downgrade.
2. Church work and church attendance mean the cultivation of the habit of feeling some responsibility for others and the sense of braced moral strength which prevents a relaxation of one's own moral fiber.
3. There are enough holidays for most of us which can quite properly be devoted to pure holiday making. Sundays differ fro other holidays -- among other ways -- in the fact that there are fifty-two of them every year. On Sunday, go to church.
4. Yes, I know all the excuses. I know that one can worship the Creator and dedicate oneself to good living in a grove of trees, or by a running brook, or in one's own house, just as well as in church. But, I also know as a matter of cold fact the average man does not thus worship or thus dedicate himself. If he stays away from church he does not spend his time in good works or in lofty meditation. He looks over the colored supplement of the newspaper.
5. He may not hear a good sermon at church. But, unless he is very unfortunate he will hear a sermon by a good man who, with his good wife, is engaged all the week long in a series of wearing and humdrum and important tasks for making hard lives a little easier.
6. He will listen to and take part in reading some beautiful passages from the Bible. And if he is not familiar with the Bible, he has suffered a loss . . .
7. He will probably take part in singing some good hymns.
8. He will meet and nod to, or speak to, good, quiet neighbors. He will come away feeling a little more charitably toward all the world, even toward those excessively foolish young men who regard church-going as rather a soft performance.
9. I advocate a man's joining in church works for the sake of showing his faith by his works.
10. The man who does not in some way, active or not, connect himself with some active, working church misses many opportunities for helping his neighbors, and therefore, incidentally, for helping himself.

    --- COL. 3:15

    
    

    

    This passage from Proverbs was what I read over and over again when I questioned whether or not a mother/wife should leave the home for employment. It certainly sounds as though she was doing something - all her own - to earn family income!!!

    
    

    

    
    

    Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

    The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

    She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

    She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

    She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

    She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

    She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard..

    She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

    She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

    She layeth her hands to thespindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

    She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

    She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

    She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple,

    Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

    She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

    Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

    She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

    She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

    Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

    Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all,

    Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

    Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

    --- PROVERBS 31:10-31
