t rofjnei s f .alum n “With Men It Is Impossible” "Who then can be saved'.’" This eternal question came* forth from the hearts of the disciples after Christ talked to the young man who was very rich. The Lord very clearly told the disciples it was very hard for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdon of God The disciples were very astonished, and then turned to the Lord and asked. w ho then can be saved? And the Lord answered then with Mk. 10:27, And Jesus looking upon them saith. With Men It Is Impossi ble, but not with God: for with God all things are possible The Lord plainly told them that salvation is impossible with man. In other words, man cannot save himself ! Impossible with man, is the negative, but possible with God is the positive. In the face of this great eternal truth spoken by our Lord, all over the religious world the reli gious leaders are trying to save sinners not knowing that salvation is impossible with man. You cannot save your self! The quicker you realize that, the better off you are. Salvation is an inward work of grace wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Holy Spirit. In Col. 2:12 Paul calls it the "faith of the operation of God." Then he says again in Eph. 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." There you have it, salvation is wholly of grace! Then again in Romans 11 Paul goes on to say if salvation be by grace, then it is no more of works. My friend, if your salvation is based on any work you have done, then you are not saved! Now you put that down. Do you know Christ? Christ is my salvation. 1 had nothing to do with my salvation. If I ihad anything to do with it then my salvation would not be ‘eternal. ' Let me hasten to say. no winner is brought to know Christ apart from Holy Spirit Conviction (Jn. 16:7-11). Be fore you can know Christ, you have got to know yourself, and this what Holy Spirit Con viction does The Holy Spirit shows you all about yourself, and then He reveals Christ to your heart as your Lord and your Savior. I’ll stake my -* hope of Heaven upon what I'm laying down here because 1 knowMjov^tx^avet^ne^Dj) YUU (.an you leu now uod saved you? How is it between you and Christ deacon? I want to tell you friend, the greatest thing in all this world is just to know Christ as your Lord and your Saviour. And walking down a church aisle and giving the preacher your hand cannot place you in the Kingdom of God. Practically everywhere you turn today manmade methods of salva tion are being pawned off on poor blinded humanity. Your pastors tell you that you are saved but you know there is an emptiness in your heart that you cannot fill and you have no victory over sin. In the face of dll uua jruu auu WU1 IKK 115101 to me as I be true to your soul. You listen instead to those false prophets who are sealing your soul for Hell. Why? You are dead in trespasses and sins and totally depraved! Your nature is that of your father the Devil. But you know something? The prea chers of today do not want their church members awakened to the fact they are lost. That's right. You wouldn’t know what to do with them if they were awakened. Let me hasten to say this; you must be awakened to your lost ruined condition as a totally depraved sinner before you can be saved. Don’t you forget that my friend. If you are never awakened by the Holy Spirit to the fact you are a lost sinner, in mercy, you are going to die and bust Hell wide open. You can call me crazy all you want to, you are going ‘m. t m to Hell friend. - A soul who is very relgious told me last year; “you are not going to get me lost." She was lost last year and she is still lost. Don’t accuse me of judging, I’m stating facts. You will accept the truth when a doctor tells you that you have a terminal illness, but you will not accept the truth when I tell you that you are lo6t. You care not for your lost eternal soul. Remember friend, your soul is going to spend eternity somewhere, in Heaven or Hell. i es, saivauon is impo6sime with men. If you could save yourself God would get no glory in your salvation and you'd go around boasting of saving yourself. The Lord came from glory to save the elect. He was crucified, buried, and was risen the third day. When you invent man made methods of a “so called” salvation, you spurn the death burial and resurre ction. of Christ. In other words, you set aside all that God has done for dying men and women. What a tradegy! Are you beginning to see how foolish these man-made methods of salvation are? Your blood and my blood is sinful. My friend, the only way you can come into the presence of God is by the Blood, not yours or mine, but the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Without the shedding of Blood, there is no remission of sins. Christ shed His Blood for the redemption of the elect. Have you been ^redeeme^^^Hi^Blood?! have. Your man-made methods of salvation set aside Blood redemption in Christ. Paul again tells us in Colossians 'that salvation is by Blood and by power. It is the Power of Christ that delivers a sinner, and it is the Blood of Christ that cleanses a sinner. There you have it. Now, the salva tion you have, is it by power and Blood? Is it? Now you face these truths friend, your soul is too important to be mistaken about it. I'm glad salvation is im possible with man. Why? In the first place, if salvation were by man it would not be eternal. We need an eternal refuge. And that eternal Refuge is Christ. Man has no power over sin, self, not Satan, how could you save yourself. The Devil is more powerful thanjrou. I realize the present day ministry does not preach a personal Devil. And the average preacher knows Satan just about like a Doodle bug knows Sunday. Don't you sit there and say I’m being too hard. I can’t be any harder than God's Word. I’m plead- ' ing for your soul man! God help you in this dark hour. I would that multitudes of you out there could see the necessity of Divine Salvation in Christ. Christ and Christ can be your salvation. Turn to the Lord from all your works. You can’t save yourself. It is impossible with men, but pos sible with God. May the Lord enable you to see that you ran do nothing to save yourself, salvation is all of Christ. Status Of Women To Sponsor Seminar The Mecklenburg County Commission on the Status of Women is sponsoring “Beyond Separation and Divorce," a seminar, on Wednesday, June 7.

The seminar will esamina how people can maintain con trol over their lives when faced with the crisis that accompany divorce or separa tion. It will offer suggestions • for use during these crisis. seven uiptoma nursing Schools Join Forces norm caronna s seven dip loma nursing schools have joined forces in a new effort to promote diploma nursing pro grams and to seek solutions to common problems. The group's first meeting was held at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte on May 17 at which time three committees were established to work on priority areas of concern. Committees will study vertical education mobi lity, the process of diploma school graduates working toward baccalaureate degrees, increased financial support and establishment of a formal state organization At the meeting were re presentatives of Watts Hospi tal in Durham, Fletcher Hospital in Statesville, Lenoir Memorial Hospital in Kinston, and Mercy and Presbyterian hospitals in Charlotte Participants unamiously agreed that more needs to be done to promote the distinc tive characteristics and roles of the hospital schools of nurs ing which have long been recognized for the excellence of their graduates by physi cians and other health care yi uiebbiunaib. As recently as this year, the American Hospital Associa tion issued a position state ment, emphasizing the “special values of the hospital school of nursing.” “The hospital school of nurs ing," the statement says, “Continues to make a signifi cant contribution to the health care of the community.” It described hospital schools of nursing as "strong, viable educational institutions” that produce “quality educational programs and graduates.” There was strong consensus among those attending the Charlotte meeting that more should be done to inform the community that “not only is the hospital school of nursing one of the most economical ways of Educating nurses, it also produces direct benefits for the hospitals that operate them by promoting excellence in nursing care.” The hospital nursing school representatives also agreed that there is a growing need to make it easier for diploma school graduates to pursue a baccalaureate degree if they so desire.
