13A RELIGION/The Charlotte Post Thursday August 14, 1997 The Prophet’s Column This is a paid advertisement by J.M. Little THE PROPHEf S COLUMN, INC. 9626 FELDBANK DRIVE' CHARLOTTE, NC, 28216 REPEAT OF NEWSLETTER- AUGUST 1996 PARTI DEAR FRIENDS: It is good to greet you again in the Name of our Blessed Lord. The greatest joy in aU the uni verse is just to know Christ as your Lord and your Saviour. I would not exchange my Lord for ten thousand worlds of gold and silver. I stand amazed at what my Lord has done for me, making me a new creature in Christ Jesus my Lord, (II Corinthians 5:17.) It has been over 25 years since God saved me, and many times the Lord so rejoices my heart that all I can do is cry and weep for joy that the Lord would save such a sirmer as I. I remember that time I was invited to speak at First Washington Baptist Church in Lancaster, S.C. I just took a text and told the folks how God saved me. I believe the Lord moved on a heart in that audi ence. I could barely finish with my notes because the Lord rejoiced my heart so much, and I could not help but weep and cry right there before that audi ence. And the next Monday, one of the men came by the office and said; “you are just in the wrong profession, you ought to be preaching instead of work ing in this office.” Well, my fnends, after God saved me back there I told the folks that God called me to teach and some said; “you just ought to go ahead and just go to preach ing.” I’m satisfied where God has stationed me, yes, i m satis fied to abide in my calling. I have never gotten over how God saved me . And I don’t want to get over it. Do you? I long to see the One who died for me. The deadline for Around Charlotte and Church News is noon Monday.

Pope issues mandate THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy - Today’s young people are the “face of the church in the third millennium,” Pope John Paul II said Sunday. The pope will meet with young people from around the world in Paris on Aug. 24 and 25 during the Roman Catholic Church’s World Youth Day activities.
