JESUS DISLIKED SUPERCHRISTIANS TOO
A Lung Winter's Nap

Does the Super-Christian exist on the
campus of Montreat? No doubt many
would say "you bef'i in fact, if you
answered yes- you've probably already
thought of one or more people that you
would call a "Super-Christian",
Just what does maKe a person a
"Super-Christian"? Well, you might say
that they come across with a
"holyer-than-thou" attitude. Maybe you
nave overheard them making a
judgemental statement. Perhaps they
stick to one group of friends that are
known for being very religious. Most
likely you see them carrying their
bibles everywhere they go and
attending every spiritual event. These
are folks that may sin, but never as
great as anyone else. Maybe they tell
you that they are praying for you. What
makes them think you need prayer?
First of all, let's seperate the sheep
from the goats. There are good
"super-Christians" and there are bad
ones. It is possible that each have
characteristics listed above. The key
element that seperates these two
groups are love and perception. Jesus
dealt with the bad group of
"super-Christians" to some extent. In
his time they were called Pharisees.
They had their act together and
followed perscribed religion with a
great deal of zeal, They expected
everyone else to conform to God's law.
The Bible said it and they followed it.
They were Interested in making
everyone else good. They lacked love.
Think of the "super-Christian" (in the
negative senseJ that you Imagined
earlier. Would you consider asking them
for sDlritual advice? Would you reveal
to them an unknown sin and ask them
for spiritual guidance? If you imagine
yourself as one of these folks- be sure
to read Roman's 148; John 420, and
Roman's 2;3,4

Ahh time for a nap. No classes,
no urgent papers, and no problems.
Great time for a nap, right? Wrongl
You have Just fallen victim to the
greatest Joke of the century. I will
prove to you that there is no possible
way to take a nap on the perfect
afternoon.
You arrive back at your room at
2:00. That give you three full hours for
the perfect nap. You change into the
best old T-shirt you ccan find and a
comfortable pair of shorts. You fling
back the covers and climb into bed. It Is
at this moment that you understand the
concept of" Just settled down to a long
winter's nap". It may be cold outside,
but It Is toasty warm in your bed. Now
you will begin to understand the cruelty
of this Joke.
You begin to drift off to sleep. You
are almost to the point of sleep when
your next-door neighbor comes In and
decides that this Is the perfect time
for you to be entertained by Donnie and
Marie's "I'm a Little Bit Country; I'm a
Little Bit Rock and Roll". After a few
beatings on the wall, it tones down to a
dull roar and you get back under the
covers.
You are off to sleep agalt\ At that
precise moment, the village Idiot gets
on the intercom and yells (literally) for
a person who doesn't even live tiiere
and hasn't for two years. You get up and
rebuke the guy in the name of Jesus and
head back to bed,
Ahhh sleep, right??? Wrongll!
The phone starts ringing and continues
for the next 64 rings. You get up and
On the sheep's side, perception plays
a major role. Perhaps we have
misjudged the "super-Christian". Maybe
they are Just trying to behave as
Christ-like as they know how. If you
aren't friendly to them it's easy for
them to be indifferent to you. This
indifference may be mistakem for a
righteous attitude. Maybe we feel
ashamed of our own behavior and use
the "super-Christian" as an excuse not
to behave as Christians.
Jesus Christ was the greatest
Super-Christian of all in the best
sense. He followed prescribed religion
and lived among the heathen, (not with
holier-than-thou-read-my-Blble-every
day-you're-a-slnner-you're-gonna-burn
attitude). He had a great influence. He
loved people. He didn't make people
behave. Today's "super-Christian"
should be less concerned with making
people conform, Ruth Graham once said,
"It's my job to love Billy, It's God's job
to make him good,"
start down the hall. I mean; It is only
your Job becauase you DO live the
far thest away from the phone. You get
to the phone approximately 0.75
seconds after the caller hangs up. You
head back down the hall and count
fifteen people In their rooms who could
have answered the phone Instead of you.
I guess they figured you need the
exercise. As you reach your door, the
phone starts ringing again. You wait,
and after fifteen rings, you start back
up the hall. Your time for this heat Is
better and you reach the phone
approximately 0.5 seconds after the
caller hangs up. As you go back down to
your room, the phone starts ringing
again and you fly up the hall this time.
You make It to the phone and wouldn't
you know It, the call is from the same
girl that the village Idiot wanted.
By this time, you are wide awake
and you decide to tie everyone in their
rooms, since you now have so much free
time. After this task is accomplished,
you go downstairs and call up every one
of them. Laughter Is the best medicine
right??
Well, is that proof enough? Why
even try? Who really needs sleep? Not
me!
M-AC Golf Team
is Up to Par
1988 may be the year of athletics for
Montreat. Both men's and women's
tennis teams will compete this year for
the first time in 5 years. Along with
tennis comes a nev/ club sport-Golf!
Under the great coaching abilities of
Dr, Frazier Jones, the golf team has
already started playing, and although
they woti't compete intercollegiately,
they will pl.ay as a club sport,
competing with in the team.
Dr. Jones says that he saw a need for
a golf team here at Montreat. While
basketball £.and baseball are sports
that you usually leave behind after
college, golf is a sport you can play all
of your life!
The team plays every Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday from I;30 to
400. The city of Black Mountain has
been very helpful as they allow M-AC
to play for free. Dr, Jones says
spectators are welcome, but they must
keep in mind that this is a very relaxed
activity. Dr. Jones is very excited about
the team, (Brent Heycoop and Knox
Bridges will be playing in the Masters
this year!), and M-AC is happy to have
found a new teacher who has taken so
much interest irj the activities of the
students.
