4A I —THE CAROLINA TIMES Saturday, Juna 10, 1972 My Religion By DONALD LOVE l can imagine you're wonder ing, what kind of religion is my religion? The answer is, a good religion, one of the best. There are several religions but my religion, I happen to know just a little bit more about it than I do any of the others and that is the CHRISTIAN RELITION. As for the others, I know so little about any of them I dare not moit ion them. Why am Iso stuck on this christian religion over And above any of the others? First of all, I was taught and lived the christian religion all of my life. I see more reasoning In it than the others. One of the mam reasons, there is something about it that is not visible but it can be felt, you can not see it but you know it is there because you feel it. It will make you love those who do not love you, pray for those who use you for their own personal gains. It makes you do positive things instead of negative things. One satisfying thing, it is of God and it is God. Why do I connect God with this new or Christian religion? Because God approved it when John The Baptist was baptiz ing in the river of Jordan and again on the Mount of Trans figeration. God introduced it and I accept it. Christ, God's son, brought about Christianity. Christianity came from the word Christ. Before Christ came on the scene to do public work, this Christian religion had not been introduced. People lived by the laws of Moses the way they wanted; especially the leaders of the religious faith. The teaching Moses introduced to them how God wanted them to live and honor him, they twisted it all out of proportion, it was necessary for Christ to revise the old method. As He went about doing so, He men tioned to them, He came not to destroy or abolish the law or the prophets but to ful fill them. The way they had things set-up, no one could or would be saved, all would be lost. God intends all should be saved and none lost. The big things Christ had facing Him, first, prove that He was the son of God. His next point of interest, He had to die for man so that he would live. His next under taking, after His death, He would rise and His rising would be in so many days. His next move, He would rise before their very eyes, go up and return to His father. His next point of interest, sending 11866 1972 WHITE ROCK BAPTIST CHURCH DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA 27707 LORENZO A. LYNCH, Minister SIMMY JUNK 10 f 1972 9:30 A.M. Sunday School 10:55 A.M.

The Holy Ghost is to us what dorox is to washing. In the event you have hate in your heart, the Holy Ghost will sub stitute love. It prepares you for God. (This is why God demands a pure heart of us, there is no excuses. God will not put on any of us any more than we can bare. He likes vtitnesses, He likes proof for our own benefit. When Christ did things, He had at least three witnesses. There were witnesses at all times when He did things be they great or small. When Christ was on the cross, He prayed a prayer for those put ting Him to death. He asked His Father, to forgive them because they were possessed with the Devil. The Devil had control of them, allow them a chance to experience the Holy Spirit, they would not be doing what they are doing. Christ could and did say that, can man say the same? Christ is God and we expect God to say that and even many more things, but not man. Man did say the very same words under similar circumstances. Stephens, the deacon was stoned to death. As he was being stoned, being full of the Holy Ghost, said the same words, his Lord said: Father forgive them for they know not what they do. These are but a few from many experiences caused me to call the Christian religion, my religion. One of the pecu liarities, when singing or medi tating, you will find tears falling from your eyes, why? There is no explainable an swer, all we know, it just hap pened. We are reminded of that great song, "There is something within me that holdeth the rein, there is something within me I can not explain, all that I know, there is something within.
