How the Christian Chooses His Recreation
397
Wonderful scenes are opening before us; and at this time a living
testimony is to be borne in the lives of God’s professed people so that
the world may see that in this age, when evil reigns on every side, there
is yet a people who are laying aside their will and are seeking to do
God’s will—a people in whose hearts and lives God’s law is written.
God expects those who bear the name of Christ to represent Him.
Their thoughts are to be pure, their words noble and uplifting. The
[520]
religion of Christ is to be interwoven with all that they do and say....
God desires His people to show by their lives the advantage of Chris-
tianity over worldliness, to show that they are working on a high, holy
plane
