Prophet’s Column
An Open Letter To Mr. Jeffrey
I was glad to receive the
card inviting me to your
school graduation. It seems
only a short time ago that
you, your older sister
Anita, and Mike, were all
small enough for me to
carry you in my arms. But
the seeming short time has
slipped into years. We can
not go back and live any
day or year over. The past
three years are history.
The Lord permits the rain
and sunshine to fall on both
the saved and the lost. The
Lord has been merciful to
you in letting you live to
graduate from high school.
Has it ever dawned upon
you that you only live by
the mercy of God? Many
other young people your
age are now in eternity.
I am reminded of the
time I was graduating from
high school. I had many
plans for my life. We
looked forward to finishing
school so we could get out
on our own. Of all the
years 1 spent in school, and
coming down to finish, it
never occurred to me that I
should find out the will of
God for my life. Not one
time did I sit down and ask
the Lord: Lord, what will
you have me do? And there
was no one whom I could go
to of all the people ad
vising me, who could point
me to the Lord. So I am
' asking you to go to the Lord
to find His will for your
life. Education is all right
in its place, but there is no
salvation in education. One
day you must part this
world to never return.
Where you shall spend
eternity is all important.
If you were sick you’d go
to a medical doctor seek
- ing a cure for your me
dical infirmities. I am not
a doctor of men’s bodies, I
am a doctor of men’s souls.
I point you to the Great
Physician, the Lord Jesus
Christ. AD men by birth are
- sinners, whether you real
ize it or not. Christ and
Christ alone can heal your
sin-sick soul.
There are seven of us
born to my parents.
And only three of you born
-to your father and-my late
Bister. I thank and praise
the Lord He saved me out
;,of this number. Why the
J. M. Little
Lora singled me out for
salvation in Christ, and not
the others, I don’t know.
But throughout the cease
less age of eternity, I’ll
always praise Him for so
great salvation in Christ
my Lord.
In life the world can give
you something that may
last for years. In salvation,
God gives you something to
last for ail eternity - the
revealed Christ as your
Lord and Saviour. Looking
back over my life, if I could
live it over, what would I
desire to be changed? If I
bad to live my life over, my
one desire would be to be
saved at the earliest age
possible. If I had been
saved back there in the
early SO’s when I made that
profession of faith as little
boy, there would be many
mistakes I never would
have made, if I had known
the Lord then. So if I could
live my life over, it would
not be to have great
wealth, and the honors that
the world could give, but
to have the greatest honor
in all the universe, which is
knowing the Lord Jesus
Christ as my Lord and my
Saviour.

I Ask For The Deal Maker
condition, that I did not
know the Lord. But it was
the greatest day in my life
when the Holy Spirit re
vealed Christ to my heart
as my Lord and my
Saviour. By the grace of
God I can say with the
apostle Paul, now; “I know
Whom I have believed and
am persuaded that He is
able to keep that which I
have committed unto Him
against that day,” (II Tim.
1:12)
It has been said that the
young folks have their lives
ahead of them. Do they?
Young people are being
buried by the undertakers
every day. As a believer,
the next minute is not
promised to me. It is tra
gic that our young people
are dying unsaved, they
don’t know the Lord. Oh,
the tragedy of going out
into eternity without
Christ.
When I was about to
finish high school, I went to
see my aunt Annie Bell
Cason before school one
morning. She was my
grandmother’s sister. I be
gan to tell her about
what I was planning to do. I
had all my plans laid out,
and when I began to tell her
all about them she said yes
almost before I could get
them out of my mouth. I
was going to build bridges
and climb mountains as it
were, I didn’t know all the
while I was a lost sinner
and needed Christ. I didn’t
know that I’d have to burn
all the blueprints for my
life, and surrender to the
Lord and His plans for my
life. But I thank the Lord
that the Holy Spirit arrest
ed me and brought me
under conviction and made
me tear up all my plans I
had made. At the time, I
didn’t know that when the
Lord takes something
away from you, He has
something better for you.
I'd rather have Christ than
ten thousand worlds of gold
and silver. Christ is eter
nal. I have something the
world can’t give me, I have
Christ.
so, as the Lord, Jeff, has
spared you to this point in
your life, I exhort you to
ask the Lord to break you
“at His feet and surrender to
His will for your life.
Everyone will fulfill the
wili of God for their life, but
it is grace if the Lord has
mercy on you and gives you
grace to fulfill His will,
willingly.
May my lord bring you to
the knowledge of yourself
through His Word, and the
knowledge of Christ
through His Word.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Plan Conventions
The Watch tower Bible
and Trad Soetety of New
York has revealed com
pletion of plans for a series
of 119 district conventions
of Jehovah's Witnesses
during the summer of 1984.
Stanley Weigel, official
spokesman, said 65
separate sites will be
utilized for the annual
meetings. A total of more
than 1,150,000 persons are
expected to attend the con
ventions in the United
States. _
Many delegates from this
area will be attending
various conventions in the
United States. One of the 65
cities selected is Greens
boro, N.C. where the
Greensboro Coliseum will
host delegates June 28-July
1.
The theme for the 1984
convention is “Kingdom In
crease’’ and much of the
program content will cen
ter on the growth of the
religious movement in
recent years.
“Jehovah’s Witnesses
are marking a centennial
this year,’’ one delegate
said. “The modern-day
movement started one
hundred years ago with a
handful of Bible students
and today is conducting
ministerial and preaching
activity in 205 lands with
2,600,000 now associated
worldwide.”
