Pro/yht i s ( olumn “True Shepherd Versus False Shenherd',-P«rt n By J S. ! ittlc Let s notice anothei mark ol a true shepherd, the true shepherd preaches .Christ in the tirst person, the false shepherd preaches Christ in the second or third person What do 1 mean by preaching Christ in the first person'1 To the true shepherd. Christ is a livng reality. He is personal to my heart Every true shep herd, when you read his mes sages, you see that he is speaking in the first person The false shepherd, preach ing in the second person, speaks of Christ with acquired knowledge, that is. what he has learned from books, or what someone has told him about Christ It is very easy to discern the difference be tween a true shepherd preach ing Christ in the first person, and a false shepherd preach ing Christ in the second per son You will hear it said of a “ oiivpiiviu, iiv jyicav.iivo like Christ is real to him You have to know Christ to preach Him in the first person as a living reality to your heart When a preacher is convert ed to doctrines or just some truths, he can't preach Christ in the first person I listened to a preacher here just recent ly who was preaching some strong truths but he didn't preach Christ as a living reality to his heart To me his knowledge seemed to be acquired rather than experi mental He set forth God as the Sovereign of the universe, but he seemed to take away man s resDonsibility. God is sovereign, but man is respon sible and you cannot throw your responsibility back on God A sinner learns under Holy Spirit Conviction that he is responsible! Isn't it grace that the Holy Spirit pointed out and burned these truths into our hearts while we were under conviction? 1 didn't oegin to learn who the false shepherd are after God saved me, He began to teach me who the false shepherds were be fore He saved me. Listen to what the Lord said about the sheep: "And a stran ger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strang ers." You’ll find that in Jn. 10:5 I have read and examined more religious literature than most church members will in » lifetime. 1 read what diffe rent religious groups are doing to keep up with what they are doing and as a leader 1 need to be informed. In order to be able to know what they teach, how can I know what they teach if I don't study them? Listen friend, there are only a few people living today who believe the Word of God. There are only a few preach ers who are saved. The religious world is on the road to hell, including the leading Baptist and Presbyterian preachers of America. I know mai is so. I have been accused of judging, to that I say Amen The beloved apostle John said "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whet her they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world (I Jn. 4:1) So when you say I'm judging by saying this one or that one is a false shepherd. I'm just speaking out of the discern ment the Holy Spirit has given me. Every unsaved religionist misunderstands the Script ures in the Word of God on judging If you don't try the spirits, you'll believe every spirit that comes along except t^ie true ones. So when I judge I am in harmony with the Scriptures, with the beloved apostles of old, and it doesn't matter a hair’s breath that you accuse me of judging As an unsaved religionists years ago I didn't know how to rightly judge or judge righte ous judgement (Jn. 7:24). Another mark of a false shep hprH ic that ho nro'inlt/w *&._* there is some good in all men You've heard that lie in practi cally all the churches. According to Isa. 64:6 man is just a menstrous rag before God. I make no apology for saying it just like man is. In another Scripture the literal term is used. As long as you believe you have some good ness in you, you will never be saved. The true shepherd preaches the total depravity of man (Isa. 1). A saved man never preaches that there is some good in the worst of men You learned under Holy Spirit Con viction the total depravity of man, and you’ll never forget it. Before the Holy Spirit taught me total depravity, I too thought there was some good in man, God never saves half sinners, He saves whole sinners. Salvation is wholly of grace. If you are not a sinner, you don't need the grace of God. But as a sinner, you see Merely Hospital Is What is likely to be the picture of health care ten years from now in Charlotte Mecklenburg? What health services and facilities can best be provided by Mercy Hospi tal'' These and similar quest ions are the subject of an intense, long-range role and program planning study com missioned by Mercy Hospital Through their Iwmg Range Planning Committee, the hos pital's Board of Directors ini tiated the need for such a study, and retained the Tri Brook Group of Oak Brook, Illinois, a management con sulting firm specializing in health institutions, to conduct the project Board Chairman Brevard Myers explains. We have engaged this consulting firm to take an objective look al ur, and the climate ol health care delivery in our area, to give us a firm data base on which to make the important planning decisions lor Mercy Hospi tal." During the next four months, consuliants will ana lyze each of Mercy s service areas, defining patient origin and special requirements, (projected workloads and space needs for Mercy over the next ten years With the data base supplied by the study additional in formation can continue to t* hal God has ordained the oohshness ol preaching to ■avethein that believe'1 > i Cor I n going to leave you with his pointed message, my riends. it s Christ or Hell!

Other members of the re cently organized Trustees' Forum of General Hospitals in Charlotte have been informed that Mercy i£ undertaking this major study.

A saint is just a justified sinner There are saved sinners and there are lost sinners You can be lost and not know it. but you cannot be saved and not know it. The false shepherd teaches that you can be saved and not know it in order to cover up his own lost condition. If you preach ers admit that I'm right in these messages, you are going to have to admit that you are lost. But you are not going to admit you are lost and loose your great congregations. You are going to loose them when you die. but you'll join them in Hell. You can brand me as crazy all you want to. Did you ever know that the Gospel is foolishness to the natural man?
