Th« letter from our Lord
Jacus Christ to the saints at
Pwrgamot (The Rerelation
2:1241*) (continued).
In-action to those who held
the doctrine of Balaam (verse
14), there were some in Per
gamos who held (Greek: “held
fast”) the “doctrine of the Nico
laitanes.” It was written of
Ephesus that they hated the
deeds of the Nicolaitanes (verse
6), but not the Nicolaitanes
themselves. But what in Ephe
sus wis deeds, had become in
Pergarrtop an accepted doctrine.
Who Were the Nicolaitanes?,
Their name comes from two
Greek wprds, “inkao” to conquer,
and “laos” people. Dr. Scofield
in his Reference Bible tells us
they held to the notion of a
priestly . order setting itself up
as to the common lay
members of the church. Such a
notion is, of course, foreign to
‘the spirit of the Gospel (see I
Peter 5:2-3; Matthew 20:25-28;
Mark 10:44).
Nor is » only the dictatorial
minister who is guilty of this
heresy. Laymen who seek to
force their wills on congrega
tions are only too numerous.
The layman who was asked if he
belonged to such a church, and
aiswerM, “I most certainly do
noth That church belongs to

Also, denominations are be-,
ginning to display alarming ’
Nicolaitane tendencies. Tlhe no
tion that loyalty to some de
nominational program is synoni
mous with loyalty to the Lord,
and failure to support some de- 1
nominational program is disloy-j
alty to the Lord is a damnable
teaching straight from the pit.
Our Lord’s message to the'
church at Pergamos is “Repent;!
or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my
mouth” (verse 16). In effect,
Jesus says, “If you do not deal
with these rascals I will.”
One of the greatest hinder
ances to true revival, and a
mighty work of the Holy Spirit
iin us and through us, is this
l false tolerance that thinks it’s a
Christian virtue to get along
with everyone, including the
devil himself. Beware of those
who counsel, “Don’t raise a fuss
It isn’t degnified.” Our Lord'
Jesus never allowed Himself to'
be irrtimiated, and it is a sin!
when we tolerate what God con-]
demns; when we look the other i
way instead of dealing with open
sin.
The essence of Baalamism is
that we can have it both ways—
that we can serve the Lord and
Satan at the same time. But
the Word of God is explicit:
“What concord hath Christ with
Belial?” “Come out from among
them and be ye separate.” We
are commanded, “Love not the

world, neither the firings that
are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all
that is in the world, -the lust
of the flesh, and the Just of the
eyes, and the pride ot life, is
not of ithe Father, but is of the
world.” (I John 2:15-16). Paste
those two verses on the front
of your television set; inscribe
them on the title page of every
questionable book and magazine
in your home; quote them before
entering the movie.
We sing “content to let the
world go by;” “all the vain
things that charm me most I
sacrifice them to Thy blood;”
“For Thee all the follies of sin
I resign.” It’s high time we

The combined spring and fall
pig crops for 1959 are estimated
at 2,613,000 head, about 305,000
head larger than in 1958., The

26 percent above the 1958 spring
pig crop, and this substantial
gain was due to a 22 percent
increase in sows farrowed and
a slight increase in ntimber of
