will I deny before my Father
which is in heaven." In joining the Church you confess Christ.
You may ask me too, how old one should be before he can join the
Christian army, known as the Church of God. I answer, there is no set
age. Some boys and girls are ready to join before others. One little
girl who was going to join the Church was told by some of the members of
her Sunday-school class that she wasn't old enough. She replied, "Anyone
who is old enough to know right from wrong is old enough to join the
Church." If you are trying honestly day by day to be like Christ and to
do His will, and you wish to be a better soldier of the cross, then you
are ready to join the Church.
In the Christian army there are old and young, rich and poor, wise and
simple, all under the one flag,--the banner of the Cross; all under the
one Captain,--even Jesus Christ. And the best thing about our Captain
is, He has never lost a battle yet, and never will. All those who enlist
under His flag are sure to win, and to hear God's "Well done."
