FAREWELL MESSAGE by Chaplain Stenbarg
Any minister, or any public speaker
for that matter, knows that not every
word spoken is heard. Further, it
is known that not even vjeveryr I word
written in a "SUN" article is read.o'w
They do not have to be. It is the
thought presented that is usually of
most importance.
There has been a prayer with each
sermon or article that it be for the
special benefit for each hearer arread
er. Maybe that is why more than one
of you has said, "It seemed as if you
were talking directly to me," or, "It
seems as if that article was one of the
things I was just talking about."
This v/ould be a mystery, were it not
faith that God is answering a prayer.
The prayer is that this be the message
He would have you given. It then be
comes the Holy Spirit working. If a
Chaplain’s message seems to strike"home"
-j- may very well be that this is the
mo'-sage God has given him for you.
That is why so often the words of a
sermon or an article are viewed differ*
o’CJ.y by different people. To you
the- hearer or the reader can be in
terpreted the thought you need from
the text for the day. The preacher is
powerless without the working of the
Spirit.
(Continued next column)_
This makes the message of utmost im
portance, You dare net ignore its sum
mons, You can disagree* but you dare
not ignore it if it is a message based
on God * s Word, the Bible, It is of et
ernal importance. Once having obeyed
this summons you would not have it other
wise, It is a summons to follow the
noblest path through life and its re
ward is rich,
