On Thursday evening, Dec. 6th.. the residents of Two and 'Energy Cri*sis' Introduction: There is much talk in oun world today about an energy crisis. According f0 tthe ncws media, if is reported that there will be many who will be cold this winter because of fuel shortage. What is the basis for oun energy? If seems to me thaf the key is oil and duc f0 the Middle-East situation this has becn withheld from the nations of thie world where the demand is greaf. If. would be qoite foolish for us anc] our governmcnts to ride gur heads and say: "I don'f sec any problem." There is a pnoblem in our secular wonld and lîke wise in trie realm ot Christianity. There can be an "Encrgy Shortage" in the spiritual lives of Christians. This is indicated in St. Matthew 25: 1-13, here Jesus told thie parable of thie ten virgins and five had an energy shortage. We offen sing with mucb gusto: "Give me oul in my lamps keep me burning, give me oil in my lamps 1 pray. " To sing these words is not enough, there bas to be practical application in oun dailylives. Is there a basis for Christian energy? Ycs, wc are told quite plainly i0 I John 3: 10-11 that the basis or the key is "LOVE". Christians cao avoid the possibility of an "Energy Cisis" within their spiritual lives by cultivafing the following attitudes: 1. An Attitude of Waiting Il. Correct Attitude of Living Il Peter 3: 10-il "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; ..............................." Seeing that al tbese fhings will be dissolved, wbat manner of pensons oughf yoo f0 be in ail holy conversation aoc] godliness," III. An Attitude of Readiness St. Luke 12: 35 "Be prepared - alI dressed and ready." (The Living Bible). .We are well aware that we are living in a sociefy in whicb the standard of living is veny higb, but standard of living anc] standard of life are poles apart as fan as mcaoing is conccrned. Therefore. as the Day of the Lord approaches we ought f0 be quite concenned with our standard of life, so that there will be no shortage on oun part when Uc comes for His Church. Due fo misuse there may be an energy crisis in our world as fan as motual needs are concerned, but there nced n0f be any energy cr1515 in the life of any Christian, "for my God will suppiy ail your needs according f0 His riches in.Glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19). We ought f0 be safisfied, content anc] well supplied, knowing that Uc who said: "My grace is sufficient for you . .(Il Cor. 12: 9) will that there be no "Energy Crisis"Ilio trie life of any boro again Christian., -Capt.
