Sunday morning service at Broken Arrow (OK) First Church of the Nazarene, November 4, 1990. This message from Ephesians 5 outlines six parts of God's "Prescription for Life" - how to imitate Him: 1. the Plea (to imitate God)2. the Pattern (Christ, as an offering)3. the Perversion (self and sin)4. the Punishment (exclusion from the Kingdom; hell)5. the Path (holiness)6. the Power (of the Holy Spirit)The closing hymn is a prayer: "My Faith Looks up to Thee", beginning at My Faith Looks Up to thee,thou, Lamb of Calvary,Savior divine.Now hear me while I pray;take all my guilt away;O let me from this daybe wholly thine!May thy rich grace impartstrength to my fainting heart;my zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,oh, may my love to Theepure, warm, and changeless be,a living fire!While life’s dark maze I tread,and griefs around me spread,be thou my guide.Bid darkness turn to day,wipe sorrow’s tears away,nor let me ever stray from thee aside.When in life’s transient dream,when death’s cold, sullen streamshall o’er me roll,blest Savior, then, in love,fear and distrust remove;O bear me safe above,a ransomed soul!
