Ji THE CAROLINA TEE3 SAT MAECH 23, 1974 3 K ! J V- f X I LOOKED MID I SAW BY Rev. C.R. Stone, D.a "A KITING THE TARGET WHERE IT COUNTS' The hlf chall never be revealed here on earth about what our Lord will do to aave the life of one Individual. The Lord specializes in doing that which seems impossible with men. The Master will save the lives of all people within a given city because of one man's righteousness whom He favors and He may also destroy all within the same city due to one man's unrighteousness, b fact, righteousness the way Jesus sees it is not based on a. majority vote. Instead, you and Christ can easily decide a matter whereby a target can be hit In the center portion. Injspractlcally everything 'that Is done under the sun there are some rules which an individual must f ollow lf he expects to get good results. For the most part, there is no exception to the rule in the field of Christian experience. In other words, our Lord shall defend a man who makes a ample convenant with Him, thus abiding by all rules agreed thereto. A covenant, however, will never be any stronger than the willingness of the said parties' ability to recognize and live up to what is provided therein. Every man needs an agreement with our Lord who will not leave one comfortless when trouble arises. For every danger encountered that tests the believer, the Lord has an answer to satisfy that need. As a matter of fact, our Master has a storehouse of answers which He has never used si of this day for hitting the target where it counts the most. With respect to the historical confrontation of David and Goliath, our Lord had so many answers for defending the Shepherd boy's life but only one was necessary to place Goliath on his knees. David was a man whom our Lord had favored not because he was always right in mental judgment, but the Psalmist's heart was right with God. With this in mind, David allowed the Lord the opportunity to use him in defending his own life. He who hath ears to hear let him hear.

WORDS FOR THE WORLD A TEMPEST, UNPRECEDENTED IN ITS VIOLENCE, unpredictable in its course, catastrophic in its immediate effects, unimaginably glorious in its ultimate consequences, is at present sweeping the face of the earth. Its driving power is remorselessly gaining in range and momentum. Its cleansing force, however much -, undetected, is ' increasing ' with every passing day. Humanity, 'gripped in . the clutches of its devasting power, is smitten by the evidences of its resistless fury. It can neither perceive its origin, nor probe its significance, nor discern Its outcome. Bewildered, agonized and helpless, it watches this great and mighty wind of God invading the remotest and fairest regions of the earth. . .
