Last week 1 was at a man’s home witnessing to him about Jesus. 1 told him how Jesus was able to save him from his drinking habit and his language, which he would use God’s name in vain. When I began to listen to him and learn why he was not saved, he began to call out people who had done him wrong. People who called themselves Christians. Why, if Jesus was all this and that, why would these people treat one another wrong? Paul, in I Tim. 1:19-20 spoke of two more who went back on God. Hymenous and Alexand er were one [n faith. Paul said one time, these people were followers of the Lord, but became ship wrecked when they put Christ away. Jesus said, “If the salt has lost its savour it is good for nothing but to be cast out.’’ Matt. 5:13. When I think of Jesus who could, and said he could, call thousands of angels to rescue him, but yet he endur ed to the end and gave his life. This always leads back to the same lie Satan told Eve in the garden, “No one will know.” said Satan. "Go ahead and take of the fruit, you won’t die. God won’t know what day ye eat of the fruit.” Genesis 3:1-4. Some of you are going around telling people once saved, always saved. This is the biggest lie, going around on earth. I’ll say it again. It is a lie. going around telling peo ple that God’s Grace is not sufficient. His blood is weak and cannot keep that which was committed unto him. God •'ddeiSn’t have any pfbb'lem k'feapirig it as long as It isYteib. Don’t go to Him with yoiir knowing sins and tell him that’s your best. It won’t work. It never has and it never will. Eve tried it and it failed. Judas tried it and it failed. And if you try it, it will fail. Not only that, but you'll lose out with God for he said to be clean, be as wool. You’ve seen wool. It is white not spotted or blemished. But God said to be white as wool. When Paul was a prisoner and just before he was to be murdered, he spoke of his faith with God. Paul said, “I am now ready to be offered.” 2 Tim. 4:10. Paul here was ready to die because he knew on whom he had believed and trusted. But in verse 10 he spoke of another who had back sliden on God. Paul said he had forsaken him and had gone back into the world. You ask. “Can a man be lost once he has confessed?” He surely can and I will use God’s word to show you. I won’t have to prove it because God’s word has been settled long ago, before you and 1 ever existed. ”I fear least any man, as the Devil beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity in Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:3. Now we know by Eve when she listened to Satan she sinned. You will too if you listen to him telling you that you can sin against God. That God understands that you are weak, too sorry to ask for repentance, too much pride to say, “please forgive me Lord.’ But you would rather believe a lie and try to make God who is . holy, unholy. What do you think will happen to people who are disobedient? Paul said in Eph. 5:6 “Because of these things (sins) cometh the wrath of God upon the disobedient.” Some tells that or say my preacher said so and so. If he (preacfieT) don’t have God’s word which warns us to hold our first love which we recieved of God through Christ our Lord, then find a sheperd who is a' man after God’s own heart. Listen to what Christ said in Revelations 3:5 “Those that defile their garments will not walk with me.” Now it’s for sure if you don’t walk with Christ then we know whom we serve. (Satan.) Jesus said he that does not over come I will blot his name out of the Book of Life. Revelations 22:J8- 19. Ex. 32:32-33; Ps. 69:25-36. Now for a name to be blotted out means it was once on the roll written down, but Jesus said Christ couid blot it out. Paul went all the way. So did James, Stephen, Peter, Thomas- these men died for the cause. And you go around telling others you can flirt with sins when these men gave their life. And the very same is required of you. The Lord tells me I am to labour for eternal life. Jn. 6:7. I am not fo compromise with the world or sins. 1 am to be separated for I have been set free by Jesus. I don’t and 1 have no desire to live in sins for 1 have Christ on the inside of me and He will not let me do the things lused to do. For when Jesus moved in Satan had to go. There’s no vacancy in my life for sin and if you’re born again, he won’t let you either. Unless you have been enticed by Satan. My Lord'-fs a holy king; a holy- pniest. ia-holy of holies. And, Brothers, you won’t and can’t drag him back down that trail which led to Golgatha’s Hill. When Jesus came off that cross he-said it was finished. Telling me that those who trusted him can finish this race. And only those who finish will receive the prize. What prize is that?The face of Jesus my Lord who died for me and you. But you who sin and claim you know him. and yet you are like the world, I know another man who knew him that was so close to him that he carried the money and even he got to kiss Jesus. And Jesus called him his friend and yet Judas went out and hung himself. Brothers, Jesus said it was those who endured to the end. There is some of you that have been taught that you can live any kind of way. But it is a lie. Paul said these people were so ignorant of God’s righteous ness and going about to establish their own, having not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Romans 10:3. Did you know at one time Lucifer, the Devil, was sinless. At onetime Satan was perfect. The Bible tells .^.e he was sinless and walked in the ways of God, perfectly until he sinned. You say, preacher, he was always a devil, a liar and a cheat. He was not. The Bible said in Ezekiel 28:15 that Lucifer was perfect before God. From the day he was born he walked with God. But God had to throw Satan out of heaven because he was found with iniquity in him and God does not and will not allow it in his kingdom. In the )4th verse here God called Lucifer an annoited cherub. The Lord said at one time Satan was upon God’s holy mountain. But yet Lucifer backslide on god. He fell from God’s grace and was cast out of heaven. Read Isa. 14:12-14. Then Satan became sinful and lust ful Jn. 8:44. And destined to eternal hell. Matt. 25:41. Also Rev. 20:1-10. When Lucifer rebelled against God the word said only ‘/a of the angels rebelled with him. These angels were said to be holy- angels of God. Rev. 12:3, 7:12. And they also became destin ed to hell with Satan. Matt. 25:41. Did you know that angels were sons of God. Read Gen. 6:1-4, Job 1:6, 2:1, so we know that being a sonship is no unforfeitable guarantee of heaven.

The students were Ronnie Hunt and Rex Oxendine. They appeared to present Chairman Ralph Hunt, former principal of Fair- grove School, a gavel which had been made in the carpentry shop of the school. The gavel was made of several pieces of wood interwoven to form the gavel. In making the presentation, Oxendine said: can be guided and Firmed into a working whole. On behalf of the student body of Fairgrove School and in the interest of students in the Robeson County Schools we hereby charge this board to pick up the pieces,, to strive for the unity of purpose, and stand hard as an oak in effecting decisions for the betterment of education in Robeson County.” Chairman Hunt, in accepting the gavel, assured the students that the board would accept their challenge. and Heating will do the plumbing; Robeson Electric the electrical work; and T. R. Driscoll will do the heating and air conditioning. The board also heard a report on steps being taken to conserve energy in the system. Some fuel is being transferred from one location fo another. Schools are being encouraged to attempt to keep the temperature at 65 degrees. In accor dance, the temperature at the board of education building was on 65 degrees. And the meeting moved on to routine matters. They heard a report from Rev. Bob Mangum on the proposed Occupa tional Education Center. Chairman Hunt appointed a commit tee to seek more local financial support. Appointed were Tommy D. Swett, David Green and Laymon P. Locklear. The chairman will also work with this committee. “Mr. Hunt...you and the members of this board have assumed the responsi bilities for guiding our educational program at a crucial time for both the progress of education and the leader ship of our county.

Korah, Dotham, Aberam, and other holy men were cut off from God by sin and went to Sheol. Num. 16:1-3, 23-33. Third Century Artist Program The federally funded artists- in-residence program that is putting artists to work in community service across North Carolina is being exten ded for eight more months. ter a CETA arts program o statewide basis. Let me tel! you of Saul who had a change of heart and received the holy spirit. I Sam. 10:9-13, 21-24, and went into spiritualism 1 Sam. 23. Then in I Sam. 16:12-23 Saul back slid, died of a sucide and cursed (of God. I Sam. 31:1-6. Effective Feb. 1, the Third Century Artists program has received continued funding that will allow 127 artists working in dozens of North Carolina communities to re main on the job through Sept. The name “Third Century” refers to the newly begun third century of this country’s histo ry, when these artists and others like them will be trying to integrate the arts into Americans’ daily lives. 30. You say, when Jesus came that changed. My Bible tells me of Disciples of Jesus who left Christ and his grace and followed Christ no more. Jn 6:66. You see, only for a while did they believe. Lk. 8:13. 1 have heard that Judas was a devil from the beginning. Not so. Jesus called him his familiar friend. In Ps. 41:9 Jesus said in whom 1 trusted. Do you think Jesus would have trusted him if Judas had always been this way? In Acts 1:20, Ps. 69:25-28 it says his name was written in the book of life. Then sin came in his life and it was blotted out. You see, at the end of Christ’s ministry, Judas allowed Satan to use him and for thirty pieces of silver, Judas betrayed Christ. Judas therefore back slid and became a thief. Jn. 12:6. A devil. Jn. 6:70, or you could be like Ananias and Sapphire. They were saved ' and of one heart and one soul Vith all the church.; Acts 4:32-51, until they agreed to lie to the holy ghost at which time they were killed. I could go on and on, scripture after scripture warning to all who listen to saitan and his lies. You are only fooling yourself when you think you can do such things as to sin against God. Even worse when you try to get someone else to believe it. Jesus said his way was a narrow way, a close way. If you think by some accident or without even preparing for his kingdom that you will stumble in his kingdom, you are wrong, dead wrong. Only those who endureth to the end shall be saved. Those who trusted Jesus when times got hard, they were still there praising God for his deliverance, for setting them apart from the things of the world. No desire to turn back, but as Paul once said we look fo:-ward, counting all that behind a loss. But reaching on for Christ. If you are still staying awake at night trying to decide what to give up or quit, just turn around and say, Jesus, help me to think on pure things- holy things-things that are righteous and also to live them, mean it from your heart and Christ will help you. Some of you have failed to repent and have went astray. But Jesus’s grace is sufficient for all if it comes from the heart. Right now you that know if Jesus was to appear you would be ashamed, ask him to forgive you of your sins. The Third Century Artists are formerly unemployed or underemployed artists who are hired by a grant to the N. C. Department of Cultural Re sources with funds appropri ated under Title VI of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). Since October 1975, this pro gram has served a dual function of hiring the unem ployed and developing an understanding and apprecia tion of the arts throughout North Carolina. The program is administer ed by the N. C. Arts Council, the community development arm of the cultural resources department. Artists in the program have been involved with community arts organizations, children’s theatre, little theatre, small museums, festivals, art guilds, dramatic performances, work shops, lectures and many other community arts activi ties. “No student enrolled in the Robeson County School System may be taken from the school campus for questioning by a police officer unless that officer holds the appropriate legal papers for removal of the student or unless the school official in charge has been given prior parental permission. Exception can be when the removal action is directed by the school official in charge for the welfare of the student or school. “No student under the age of 16 is to be questioned on the school campus by police officers without prior notification of the parent.” The board passed a resolution commending Mr. James Hooks, Direc tor of the Robeson County Planetarium, for being elected International Presi dent-elect of the Planetarium Educators Association.

Educational View By Dr. Dalton Drool A GOOD TEACHER On Friday, January 28, 1977 the Strickland’s and Lowery’s were guests at the weekly American Indian Prayer Break fast held on the Senate side of the Capitol. They shared fel lowship with approximately fifty Native American leaders throughout the United States. Later in the day, they had the opportunity to hear speakers from Australia, Columbia, France, Zambia, Sweden, E- gypt, and other nations at an International Prayer Break fast. Mr. and Mrs. Strickland and Mr. and Mrs. Lowery accompanied the international group on a tour of the floor of the United States House of Representatives, led by Rep resentative Berkley Bedell of Iowa. Students have many ways in which to classify teachers: fat, skinny; hard, easy; sleeper active; good, bad. I would not deliberate on the first three combinations because they are widespread and a matter of personal likes and dislikes. Yet, what about good and bad teachers as perceived by stu dents. and much displa that student leanu punishment; it jt? ALL IS W Since our students are more ably skilled in observational task-that of making an unpro fessional analysis of teacher learning modes, their accuracy in identifying a good teacher is not far off.

The Strickland’s and Low ery’s will long remember their enjoyable visit to the Nation’s Capitol. The task of a good teacher is to establish constuctive moti vation, clarify learning goals, help students gain confidence that they can perform the learning tasks, help students to find intrinsic rewards in learning, diagnose difficulties, devise alternative learning ex periences. and assist students to identify situations outside of school where they can appro priately practice what they learn in school.
