“Christmas, A Pagan Holiday” I ov j.m. uiue Part II - All those years I spent in vanity and pride, just like you, I was so miserable. Running here and there trying to work myselTup to a slate of ease I never could reach. You won’t t rach it either UtUe friend. You say, “Brother UtUe, you are being personal again.” Yes I am, you’ve got to come to know Christ or go to Hell! I praise the Lord my pastor didn’t compromise with me, if he had I never would have been saved. I’m going to keep your feet to one thing: you’ve got to get to Christ or go to bell! You can call me mean or picking on you all you want to. Your soul is hanging in the balance, dear heart. If I hated you I wouldn’t be talking to you like this. I know what it means to be lost. Now I know what it means to be saved. That the Lord will use me to His glory is my prayer. If you knew, oh if you only knew what it means to know Christ, you’d turn loose the world. May God have mercy on you as He did me. I have ho apology to make, I have no compromise to make, it’s re pent or perish! The whole world is running break neck speed down the toboggan slide to hell in all this pagan idolatry. Listen to me Bible teacher, study the tenth chapter of Jeremiah and see that you’ve been following the heathens of old in your xme castrations. Nimrod was the first Santa Claus. Now you can read about Nimrod in Genesis. The world as a whole will and does accept the forni cation of Nimrod, which is the “Yule" celebration, but the world as a whole would not accept Nimrod as a person. You ask why? Ill give you something there to think a x>ut. If you love the Lord, once you see the truth about this worldwide celebration you will immediately come out of it. Christmas is just demon warship, Bible teacher. I’m talking to you! That’s right, it’s just demon worship! Are you a true worshipper of God or a demon worshipper. Many of you who claim to/be saved will put up a tree in your home, you’ll hayd an image, there, you’ll tellydur children, “this is a picture/of the baby Jesus." The Lord Jesus Christ is not a baby. We no longer know Him after the flesh, if you just know Him as a baby you really don’t know Him at all, all you have is just a figment of your imagination. Let me ask you a question, have you ever seen that you hate God! If not, you don’t know the God of the Bible! That’s right, you don’t know Him! You won’t talk about Christ yet you say you are celebrating His birth. What a tragedy!! Time is rapidly slipping into eternity .and you are not sav ed. Another year has gone by, , you’re still lost. Some of you claim to- know the Lord, yet you can’t have fellowship with me in Christ. You claim to know the Lord, yet you have to go to the world for pleasure. Claiming to know the Lord and 0nin0 In a Kail flame Ia« pleasure. I weep for these women here who are in rebel lion against the Gospel. How jritifuljsjheircase. Going to USDA Amends . School Breakfast Program WASHINGTON-The U S. ' Department of Agriculture t (USDA) Tuesday announced • an amendment to the School Breakfast Program regula- j tions to provide greater flexi- fj bility in the meal pattern by allowing the service of a vege table in the meal. Previously, School Breakfast Program re gulations called for the ser vice of fruit or full-strength i fruit or vegetable Juice as part 1 of the breakfast pattern. Un der the amended regulations, the breakfast pattern includes . a serving of bread or cereal, milk, and fruit or vegetables, j or full-strength fruit or vege talbe Juice. Officials of USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service say the nutritional standards for the breakfast pattern will be en hanced or maintained by per mitting the service of vege tables. At the same time, the service of vegetables will give states and schools greater flexibility in program opera tions. . The new amendment was published in the Federal Reg ister of Nov 26 and became effective on Nov. 22. I J. M. A neu mocking Christ. There won’t be any mocking of Christ in hell. But in bell you’ll curse God and me, but it won't do you any good. . It is my prayer that God in His infinite mercy and grace will put a desire in your heart after Christ. If grace never puts a desire in your heart after Christ, you’ll never want to be saved. I read a statement by a local preacher Just re cently. He said, "all men are born with a hunger after Godi” There never was a greater lie out of hell than that one, he skinned his ignorance to the nth degree didn’t he? The only way there will ever be a desire in your heart after Christ is for the Holy Spirit to plant one there. You’re dead. You can’t hunger after Christ. I’ll tell you something else in closing, if you are not one of God’s elect, you may as well forget all about it, you’ll never be saved. If you are one of God’s elect, you will be saved. When 1 saw that under Holy Spirit Conviction, it made a beggar out of me, I sued for mercy until mercy was be stowed upon a lost guilty hell deserving sinner, yes, mercy bestowed, upon a lost guilty hell deserving sinner. Yes, it’s mercy in told. Oh, the un searcnaoie ricnes 01 UlnSt! Wealth that can never be told! I wish you knew that friend. Oh, if you only knew! Just think, I, a redeemed sinner.' once sinking deep in- the mire of sin and love lifted me out and set me on the “rock, Christ {lesus.” Oh, what a deliverance it was! I was such a flithy sinner, 1 was so guilty. I tell you I can't describe in words .what I saw myself to be. I can’t describe what I saw myself to be under Holy Spirit Conviction. Oh, the agony of soul, a lost guilty hell deserv ing sinner. But, oh, that day the Lord delivered this poor sinner, lifted me oht of the miry clay, set my foot upon the “Rock, Christ Jesus,’’ put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto the Lord, Amen. I’m glad the Lord saved me, I wouldn’t ex change what I have in Christ for ten thousand worlds. I’m not talking about a religion, brother, I’m talking about a living Lord. Just think, all my sins gone, blotted out forever, praise the Lord. Redeemed by His blood! Saved by the grace of God! Praise the Lord. Do you know that Christ? I would that you did. Oh, that you’d turn to Him. It doesn’t matter what comes or goes if you know Christ. Not religion, not church membership, but a uiuig ui me world is just to know Him. “Should You Go First” Should you go first and I remain . To walk the road alone, I’ll live in memory’s garden dear ’ With happy days we’ve known. In spring I’ll wait for roses red, When fades the lilac blue In early fall when brown leaves call I’ll catch a glimpse of you. Should you go first and I remain For battles to be fought, Each thing you've touched along the way Will be a hallowed spot. I’ll hear your voice, I’ll see your smile, Though blindly I may grope, The mercy of your helping hand Will buoy me on with hope. Should you go first and I remain To finish with the scroll, No length ’ning shadows shall creep in To make this life seem droll, We’ve known so much of We’ve bad our cup of joy, And memory is one gift of God That death cannot destroy. Should you go first and I remain ! One thing I’d have you do; Walk slowly down the path of death, For soon I’ll follow you. I’ll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road You’ll hear me call your name. -Anonymous wmrnmzmmm Hie Lord willing we will con tinue the series on Demon Possession in late December. wmmmmmm: We give you an invitation to i worship with us Sunday De- j cember 19th in the Deep Creek ' Baptist Church, Wades boro, N.C. 28170.
