PAGE EIGHT Weekly Devotional Column 1 I ; j> M«iy> m«c*kkzh I The letter from our Lord Jesus Christ to the saints at Pegrganpos (The Revelation 2:12417) (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 themselyes. But what in Ephe sus w4s deeds, had become in Per games an accepted doctrine. Who were the Nicolaitanes?, Their name comes from two i Greek wprds. “inkao” to conquer, and “laos” people. Dr. Scofield in his preference Bible tells us they held to the notion of a priestly . order setting itself up as dupelior 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 jt 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 aoswerM, “I most certainly do not!, That church belongs to ' PRICES ■ m We’re making way for spring with a gigantic CLEARANCE SALE of top quality merchandise . . . this is your opportunity to save real money ... we suggest that you shop early for best selections Shop here for best bargains!

The no tion that loyalty to some de nominational program is synoni mous with loyalty to the Lord, and failure to support some de nominational program is disloy 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 in us and through us, is this 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 intimiated, and it is a sin when we tolerate what God con demns; when we look the other 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 THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA.

For all that is in the world, -the lust of the flesh, And the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the j 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 I 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 either changed our hymns or our lives!
