Prophet's Column
The Gospel"
By J. M. Little
Special To The Post
Let me ny In the begin
ning I am not ashamed of
the Gospel of Christ. The
Gospel is the power of God
unto my salvation, (Rom.
1:U). I don't know about
you, but Christ is my sal
vation. Is He yours? Then if
you are saved, why can’t I
find fellowship with you in
Christ? Why are you em
barrassed to have me drop
in at' your church? Why
won’t you have the mes
sages in your church if you
are saved? Why don’t you
have the messages of my
late pastor, L. R. Shelton?
If you knew Christ, you’d
know me and the mes
sages and you would love
us both. Friend, you are in
a most tragical state,
blinded by religion and on
the road to Hell.
The greatest enemy of
the Gospel is a soul on a
religious profession with
out Christ, usuallv a
preacher or teacher. Every
man in the pulpit on a
religious profession with
out Christ is an enemy of
the Gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ. If you reject
the message from a certain
servant of the Lord, you
reject the servant, also.
God, His message, and ser
vant rise together, the
three are inseparable. You
hate one, you hate all
three. Your attitude to
ward a God-sent message
is a revelation of your
spiritual condition. I watch
the attitude of a preacher
toward God’s servants and
especially the messages
God’s servants bring. Show
me a preacher who will
criticize and kick the mes
sages out of his church, and
I’ll show you a preacher
who is an enemy of the
Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ. I’m drawing the
line of demarcation! You
either know the Lord or you
don’t know him, preacher.
And if you hate the mes
sages by God’s servants,
and you do, that is the
concrete sign you are not
saved. I don’t care how
long you have, been pas
toring. You are an enemy
of jhe-soula ai men. When,
you wake up in Hell you’ll
receive a greater damn
ation than your church
members whom you led to
Hell. So many are in the
ministry just to make a
\ good living. The outstand
ing work of an enemy in the
pulpit is that he does not
know what to do with an
awakened sinner. The rea
son you do not want these
Gospel messages in print in
your church is because
your members would be
come disturbed and awak
ened if they read them. And
if there were awakened
sinners in your church,
you would not know what to
do with them. Preachers
here are angry with me
because I've been disturb
ing their church folks, so
they say. Well, am I
guilty? Well, I just praise
the Lord for every sinner
who is disturbed or awak
ened. Those sinners, in
cluding you, must be awak
ened to their lost condi
tion, (Eph. 2:1, 2 Cor. 4), .
before they can be saved.
But that's strange lan
guage to you and you hate
me for disturbing your
folks. Right here in the
city of Charlotte, some
years ago, a man who was
a bus driver had been
listening to my late pas
tor, L. R. Shelton, over the
radio. He came under
conviction and went to his
pastor, who is a renowned
preacher, pastor of one of
the greatest Baptist
churches in this state. He
told his pastor he was lost.
And Ms pastor quickly re
■for my
ped the
« to
er the

misr
J. M. Little
MURDERER! You will not
enter the Kingdom yourself
and you are keeping others
out. Now that pastor of a.
prestige church who
stopped that man from lis
tening to Brother Shelton
will receive one of the
hottest places in Hell. He’s
preaching a false gospel.
What a tragedy! I’ve never
met such lying dogs as we
have in the ministry today.
A man in the world will be
more honest with you than
most of the devils in the
pulpits of America. It is so
sickening to sit with these
preachers and religious
leaders and they talk to me
about everything but
Christ. I’ve crisscrossed
the state recently speaking
in many different churches
and not one preacher has
talked to me about how
Christ is a living reality to
his heart. You can get mad
and say I’m crazy all you
want to, when you lie on
your dying pillow you’ll
look back in regret but too
late. Every soul out of
Christ on a religious pro
fession is an enemy of the
Gospel. If you knew Christ
I could find fellowship in
Him with you, Now, I’ll go
■ aBywhore someone wante
to talk about Christ. Over
the years I’ve been holding
you to one thing: YOU
MUST COME TO KNOW
CHRIST AS YOUR LORD

AND YOUR SAVIOUR.
And another companion
truth: BEFORE YOU CAN
BE SAVED, YOU MUST
BE AWAKENED TO THE
FACT YOU ARE A LOST
SINNER! I'll stake my
hope of Heaven on those
two truths. Will you? Will
- you? Do you know Christ?
You cannot know Christ
and hate me nor my late
pastor. Some of you
prachers have such hatred
in your hearts for both. I
pity you. But for the dis
tinguishing grace of God
I’d be in your place,
preacher. I weep for you. It
will be an awful day when
you wake up in Hell. I’m
going to tell you something
else as food for thought;
your church members, the
ones you lied to and led to
Hell, in Hell they are
going to beat the tar out of
you for leading them to
Hell. Now if you disagree
with me on that, write me
this next week and we’ll get
together and talk about it.
May the God of all grace
send an awakening to your
heart, especially to YOU.
