How I Became a
Lutheran
Hope Lutheran church R
Membership Instmctions and
What They Meant to me.
Before becoming a member
fo Hope Lutheran Church I at
tended a few Sunday services
there. Each one of these servic
es impressed me very much.
What impressed me most was
the reading of the sermon text
and the clear explanation of
of that text. On one of these
Sundays I informed the pastor
that I enjoyed his sermon very
much and not being conncted
with any church I was thinking
strongly of joining Hope Lu
theran. We talked at length
and he finally asked me when
or what evenings would it be
convenient for me to receive
instructions. I finally named
the evenings, but was curious
as to what these instructions
were like and what connection
they had with joining a church
Pastor bchauland s first visit
was of a social nature and a
very pleasant one. We talked
of current events, automobiles
and so forth. On leaving he
left a booklet. This booklet
contained several lessons, 12 to
be exact. Each lessan discuss
ed one example in one lesson
the ten Commandments were
discussed.
At our next meeting we went
into the instruction or should I
say Bible study for that is what
these instructions turned out
to be. This was the beginning
of a new era for mte, an era of
understanding and peace of
mind for these passages were
studied, discussed and explain
ed. The Bible was always used
as a reference. I have heard
some people say that the Bible
contradicts itself; but don’t
you believe it! In these in
structions we read several
verses in different parts of
the Bible referring to the same
thing, and after careful study
and discussion we found that
worded a little differently
they meant the same things. I
found that no matter how well
I kept the ten Commandments,
no matter how well I treated
my neighbor, I was still a sin
ner in the sight of God. And
only by God’s grace and love
and my trust in Jesus Christ as
our savior can we be saved. In
fact, I learned we find our sal
vation comes from truth which
only from the Bible and “the
truth shall make us free.” Th
erefore, as a member of Hope
^Lutheran Church I listn to the
pure Gospel very Sunday.
These instructions do not.

bl your soul, and how to live
a good, Christion life. After
you have taken the course and
agree with its teachings you
may join the Lutheran Church

Bringing Christ to
The Nations
Saint Louis, Mo., Sept. 25
(Special) An appeal for faith
in Christ’s completed redemp
tion will be issued tomorrow
by the Reverend Doctor John
W. Behnken, president of the
Lutheran Church — Missouri
Synod and summer guest
speaker on Bringing Christ to
the Nations, the International
Lutheran Hour. Speaking over
the Mutal Broadcasting Sys
tem and affiliated stations,
Dr. Behnken a pre-release, de
clared: “Europe, wrich during
the past three decades has
twice been a bloody battlefield
the scene of gory warfare, of
indescribable destruction of
devastation which surpasses
the imagination of men, is
naturally fertile ground for
earnest and serious thought
about tre approaching end. At
a series of conferences with
German clergymen, which a
number of Lutheran pastors at
tended a few weeks ago and
during which the great doc
trines of Scripture and its prac
tical application to life, espec
ially to the life in congrega
tions, were thorougrly discus
sed, the matter of Christ’s com
ing was mentioned again and
again. The thinking of many
of Europe’s church people run
very much in eschatological
crannels.”
Dr. Behnken continued:
“These are but a few glimpses
of* the glorious redempion
which awaits us. In view of
this we ought to be the hap
piest people on eartr. Our
hearts should be full of hope
and assurance. But more than
this, since we know that this
old world will be dissolved,
we should certainly not rivet
our hearts unto tre things of
this life. We should lift up our
heads in great expectancy.
In conclusion, he decleared:
“Nevertheless we, according
to His promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth
wherein dwelletr righteous
ness. Wherefore, beloved, see
ing that ye look for such
things be diligent that ye may
be found of Him in peace, with
out spot, and blameless.”
