*'" '• ■ '* i&-'' ''‘i ££ I Of Man” mere nas been a lot of Eon right here in this recently as I have' rossed the state t^paking to different tercbes. lU say this; of g ihe churches I’ve been n3 and out <rf in recent ninths, I didn't find one •teacher or member who mows what it means to be tviak*ned to his lost it^UBtion and have Christ Wealed tohis heart Now I Wlire it has been said: ‘temther Little thinks he is insert, talking about Christ N|ng revealed.” No, I kii’t. I’m just stating the p&atest truth in all the •diverse. If Christ has not >een revealed to your •enrt, you are not saved! riot's why you hate the pmor’s messages and why y<W hate my testimony. [ Jfhe natural man is naiply a house of totally depraved flesh. That’s why y<?ahate the Gospel. In the fiiwt chapter of Romans, thfc greatest representative the Lord ever had on earth, thi Apostle Paul, gives us a striking commentary on «*• • totally depraved condition of man. Paul wgnt on to say in Verse 30: ”.rJiaters of God...” Man* pjinatur e hates God. Out of a hatred for God grows all otter hatreds. Thatks why theworld lain the mess it Uj in toda>Tyou hate God. Yon late Him SO much until if ro|i omUd get to Him and IglWyoirfreedom to^do ranted to, you’d stab Him n the Bosom a million inaw. That’? how much you hate God. Have you ev?y seen that you hate Gag? You will before God saves you. When a sinner is brought under Holy Spirit conviction seeing his coerupt condition, he waQders why God hasn’t cast him into Hell already. That’s right. You wonder bow you could be so wicked and why God has put up with you all these years with your hating Him as you have. Have you ever seen these things I’m setting forth? Ytgt will before God saves yah. I know the deceived stne of every heart with whom I have to deal. Your rebellion against the truth is wen understood. A nun wrote me a long letter teffing me he didn’t want any more of my messages. He had claimed to be J.M.Lhtle Third in aerie* saved. God crossed his will in the messages. The Lord knew what was in that man’s heart all the time. Years ago here I met a preacher who told me he had read my messages in the Post. I knew from his response that he had no love for the truth, even though he is a preacher. Now the Lord has exposed his heart Friend, you cannot go contrary to your nature. Your nature is meanness, hatred, ignorance, pride, selfishness, stubborness. and unbelief. I never argue with a man who won’t have the truth. It’s not for you. Only the elect will be saved. Christ did not die for everyone. If He had, then everyone would be saved. He did not die in vain. God’s Word teaches a limited atonement. Now, a ^free-wilier will come back and say: “Oh, yes, Christ died for everybody and it’s up to the sinner to believe Christ if he wants to.” Now, that would base salvation on the will of the sinner, making the sinner sovereign over Christ. What an abomination! Man in his natural state is Just as helpless to save htmaetf-as -he-ie to make ar new world. I wish you would read and study the first chapters of the Books of Isaiah and Romans »«! ask the Lord to open your minds and hearts and let you see yourself as you are in the light of His Word. Now, you don’t know what you are asking for when you jio that. But you had better do it anyway. I didn't know what I was doing when I asked the Lord to show me myself. But I knew I had to see myself in this life or the next. And I praise the Lord, not only did He show me myself, He showed me that Christ died for me. It means something to know the Lord, only a few know Him. If you knew Him you wouldn’t dare throw my messages out nor those of my late pastor. You’d welcome us both with open arms. But an unsaved pastor doesn't You II Flip Over The Buys You'll Find In Our Classified Cnrf fnn TO PLACE AN AD CALL 376-0496 j want these messages in his church. I pity you. You won’t go in the kingdom yourself and you are keep ing others out. Your atti tude toward God’s ser vant and the messages is a revelation of your spiritual condition. You don’t know what it means to be a lost sinner and have Christ re vealed yo your heart, so you have to hate both the message and the messen ger. When Christ comes, the majority of our preach ers and teachers will be left behind. One preacher said the janitor took my late pastor’s messages from the church and put them in the back. Another took them up himself. Yes, you have to hate those messages be cause you hate God in your lost condition. I’ll say to any sinner, if you have the least desire after Christ, fall at his feet thanking Him and never cease to thank Him. Only the Lord in His great grace can give you a hunger after Christ. Look and turn to Him. Continue to listen to our late pastor, L. R. Shelton, with THE VOICE OF TRUTH at 7:30 over WAGI fm and at 8:00 over WAGL am each Sunday morning.
