A Reformati<strong>on</strong> Called For<br />

God calls up<strong>on</strong> every church member to<br />

dedicate his life unreservedly to the Lord’s service.<br />

He calls for decided reformati<strong>on</strong>. All creati<strong>on</strong> is<br />

groaning under the curse. God’s people should<br />

place themselves where they will grow in grace,<br />

being sanctified, body, soul, and spirit, by the truth.<br />

When they break away from all health- destroying<br />

indulgences, they will have a clearer percepti<strong>on</strong> of<br />

what c<strong>on</strong>stitutes true godliness. A w<strong>on</strong>derful<br />

change will be seen in the religious experience....<br />

“It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now<br />

is our salvati<strong>on</strong> nearer than when we believed. The<br />

night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us<br />

therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us<br />

put <strong>on</strong> the armor of light. Let us walk h<strong>on</strong>estly, as<br />

in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in<br />

chambering and want<strong>on</strong>ness, not in strife and<br />

envying. But put ye <strong>on</strong> the Lord Jesus Christ, and<br />

make not provisi<strong>on</strong> for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts<br />
