Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with Be Christ's Life, as we pick up in Mark chapter 4 verse 32.

And now with today's message, here's Pastor Chuck.

Christianity is a term that was first used in Antioch

by the people of Antioch who put this tag upon those who were living like Christ.

They said, oh, they're Christ-like.

And that is what the term Christian actually means Christ-like.

However, in time, the term has come to a much broader meaning.

And it is a term that has been applied, like in the Middle East, if you're not a Muslim, then you're a Christian. And in America, if you're not a Muslim, then you're a Christian.

And in America, if you're not an atheist, you're a Christian.

And we used to say a Christian nation, but it's far from a Christian nation.

Thus, it is quite obvious that those things that have been done in West Beirut, in the Palestinian camps, are not at all Christ-like. For Jesus said, love your enemies, do good unto those

that despitefully use you. Bless those that curse you, bless and

curse not.

He taught us that we were to love, that we were to forgive, that we were to help.

And thus to say that the Christian militia went in and slaughtered the Palestinians is totally wrong.
