; Prophet*8 Column “Will Ye Also Go Away?” Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" (John «:«7), The Lord spoke these sad Words after a grapp of diedples went>e£ and would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood, they murmered; “...This is a hard saying; who can hear ft?" (Verse 60). One of the tMagSiwnd I’U go to say, one of the hurtful things in the of the beiever is to see a go away from the away from Christ, away from the Lord’s people. This message grew out of a conversation I had . with a young woman whom • I met while I was acting postmaster at Denver. She has decided she doesn’t want to have any more to do with the Lord’s people. - But every soul is respon sible. Every soul who turns the truth down can take you back to the time and place where they made the ded ; sion to "uu away." Ana every soul who has gone -away has lived to regret it. Not only will you regret it on this earth, you’ll regret it in Hell ten thousand years (Tom today. Many times we think an indivi dual Is coming along al right, then something hap pens and they rebel and hit it for the briarpatch like a cottontail. It is a sad thing beyond words of expression to see a soul rebel and turn away. Now, she’s running from God an doesn’t know it. One day, too, I was running from God. I ran -900 miles away but I had to come right back under the truth and admit to God I was lost. And if you come off your high roost, you’ll find me the same as you - met me, no change, just looking to the Lord more "each day. ; Each day of my life I look --back over the path the Lord brought me. How patient and merciful the Lord was to me. I was a rebel against God, despising the goodness of God. I didn’t know what I was missing while I was flying high on that roost. What if the Lore . had left me alone to go my HdL Now, 1 pray that the Lord won’t leave you alone, either. The Lord doesn’t have to save anybody. And He doesn’t have to save you. That pretty red hail you have, it's just the dust. And if you go on in rebellior it’ll just be one more heac of pretty red hair in Hell. One day someone was tna to my soul. I thank the ."Lord He provided someone rue to me. the thing in the world s for you to come to know Christ as your Lord and your Saviour. But as long as you are in rebellion you’ll never know Him. I [ say these things from a heart of love, not hatred. The Lord sends His ser vants and the truth every where there is an elect sinner. I don’t know the u elect, but the Holy Spirit * knows everyone. a when the Lord told that R group of disciples they would have to eat His flesh and drink HU blood, they had never heard such be , fore. They thought He was crazy.' And they went back and walked no more with Him. ThU goes on to show that being a nominal Chris tian U not sufficient to get you to Heaven Practically 1M percent of our church members today are nomi nal Christians. Now what do we mean by “nominal Christians?’*, those who June Christians in name ahly. You are very reii ChrUt. But there has never come the brooding and humiliating work of the Holy 8ptrit, (John 16:7-11), ■ In your heart, showing you your lost condition and vour helplessness to eet to Chrtat apartfoocn the Holy ~ You carry out year igious duties diligently, '&SZm*** I J. M. Little truth.” Over the years here since God saved me in 1972 I’ve seen many go away after having seemingly made a good start. You had some convictions. Some of you told me you knew you were lost, that you were a sinner. But after a while, when persecution arrived be cause of the Word, you couldn’t stand it and you turned away. “I didn’t mean to go that far,” you said. Well, my friend, you’ll come clean and come clear with God or go to Hell for your trouble. If you are not willing to forsake all for Christ, you’ll never know Him in the forgiveness of all your sins. You are a sinner under the wrath of a sin-avenging God. And endure the wrath of God you shall unless you flee to Christ for safety. He is our only safety. I’m glad the Lord didn’t let me go when I was in rebellion. I would that you knew Him. My prayer is that the Lord will so convict you that you’ll cry out there in your mise ry; “I must get to Christ or perish, Lord, save me or I perish!” Not many of our church members know anything about crying after the Lord like that. But you - wtii befara God reveals Christ to your heart. Every sinner that ever gets saved comes to the place that wants Christ above every thing under the sun! That’ll hold true 100 per cent. When the multitude of disciples went away, the Loru lunieu iu uie ww icu and asked; "Will ye also go away?” Peter said; “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” That’s right, only the Lord can give you life, for you are a dead sinner. I don’t care how religious you are. Apart from the Lord giving you life, you. are just a walking corpse. Some of you say you are saved, alright, let’s go on from there; do you know Christ? Has He given you life? Has He given you ver’s life. If you know Him you have eternal li{e. Praise the Lord. The greatest thing in this world is to know Christ. But will you go away like this group did? I plead with you, don’t turn away. Oh, my friend! Don’t! Don’t go on down that road you are on. Turn to Christ while there is still hope. Will you turn to Him?

Hagemcyer, CPCC President exchange pleasantries following program observing Black Heritage Week last Monday at Central Piedmont Community College. (Photo by Peeler’s Portrait Studio.) Noted Blacks To Appear On PBS Seven prominent biacK Americans, representing a broad spectrum of black politics and philosopy, have been chosen to be the panelists for “Forum on Black America 1985,” air ing on Channel 58 Monday, February ll, at 10 p.m. (check local listings). This co-production of WTVS Detroit and the National Black Programming Con sortium will be taped in Detroit on January 30 and will focus on black partici pation in the American Economy. The hour-long “town-meeting” discussion will be moderated by Ro ger Wilkins of the Institute for Policy Studies. (This program was titled “The State of Black Ame rica 1985” in a press re lease dated December 1984. The title was changed in late December to “Forum on Black America 1985.”) The panelists for “Forum on Black America 1985" are: The Honorable Geraldine L. Daniels Assemb lywoman, 70th A.D., New York City Ernest Omen -president, Green, Herman & Asso ciates, Inc., and former assistant secretary of Labor M. Carl Holman president, The National Urban Coali tion Eleanor Holmes Norton Georgetown University Law Center and former chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Presi dent Carter The Honorable Clarence M. Pendleton, Jr. chairman, Civil Rights Commission Marc Stepp International vice President, the United Auto Workers Robert Woodson president, National Center for Neigh borhood Enterprise Along with a studio audi ence of Detroiters, the panel will be discussing the economic and political sta tus of black America fol lowing the 1984 election. Among the issues to be discussed are unemploy ment, job training, land loss and the increasing rift between Americans within the economic mainstream and the growing black “underclass.” In addition, the panel will assess the impact of the current ad minstration’s policies on the economic condition of black America and the re lationship between political clout and economic power. Roger Wilkins, a former U.S. assistant attorney general, will again serve as moderator, as he did for the “State of Black Ame rica 1984” program aired by 172 PBS stations across the country in May and June 1984. Returning pane lists from that program are Eleanor Holmes Norton and Robert Woodson. The panelists represent many viewpoints in the black community, form li beral to conservative, con firming what Wilkins noted about “State of Black America 1984,” that it proved black thought was not monolithic. The liveli ness of that discussion is likely to be repeated in “Forum on Black America 1985.” “Forum on Black Arne rica 1985" is produced b> Tony B atten. Executive producer is Juanita Ander son. < ♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ < <, The Charlotte Post '' Good News About Good People ' Call S2S-0211 1-800 S32-0311 (Outside Charlotte) Hours: Mon.-Sat 9:00a.m.-5:00p m ■■■■■■■■a 1 1983 PONTIAC 6000 4dr: Black finish, Red interior, Automatic transmission, Air conditioning. *6,894 1983 OLDS OMEGA 4dr: Brown finish, Automatic Transmission, Air Conditioning. 1979 PONTIAC GRAN PRIX: Black finish, 36,000 miles, Loaded, Like New. *5,852" 19*4 CHEVY SIVERADO: 2 tone Beige and Orange, loaded, fiber glass camper cover included, Low _ miles.
