“Through This
Preacher’s
Study Window”
IX B. Alderman, Pastor M
Burnsville Methodist Church
• <v *
Sometime ago I had a man,
to ask me, “Is religion dead?”
He went on to say that ac
cording to what he saw mani
fested iff the lives of those he
came into contact with, he
could not tell if religion was
alive or dead. That is like ask
ing “Is God dead?” Some o&
the lives of those who call
themselves Christians may
seem to be dead, to look at the
way they live everyday in
their homes, business, in their 1
Church attendance, work and
relationship. I have to stop
and ask, what would we be if
God did for us according to
what we do for God?
We have a lot of people left
who believe enough in their
religion to live it. And if you
had been with me last week
in Advance, N. C., you would
have seen a lot of religion and
faith in action. Those good
people have a preacher and
wife leading them, that if re
ligion is contagious at all,
they are going to catch a lot
of it during their stay. I per
sonally would have chosen to
sit at his feet than for him to
have been listening to me. It
does one’s heart good to be
with that kind of people. He
has a wonderful group of peo
ple to work with in his Chur-,
ches.
The whole Thomasville Dis
trict was in the grip of lay
visitation evangelism and a!
preaching mission that brou

the Churches throughout the
district. When men and wom

en are concerned with the
souls of those outside the
Kingdom, mountains will al
ways be moved. At our check
up meetings it wa s most thrill
ing to hear the reports made
of hundreds of people being
brought .to. know the Redemp
tive love and power of God
through Christ. Can you know
of anything greater? Now
let’s ask ourselves with this
Mn mind, over against the
question that was asked me,
“is religion dead?”
No, religion is not dead, it
is only that lots of people are
dead religiously. Go to any
Church you desire, see how
many names that are on the
Church rolls, and then see
how many are active workers
for the Kingdom of God. Man
kind is living in a scientific
era. He thinks he can manu
facture a special artificial
Christian aroma to spray on
those with whom he comes in
to contact every day, and
more especially on Sunday,
and then sink back into his
selfish desires and free-wheel
the rest of the time. When
man takes ’selfishness out of
his life, he will' have love and
happiness enough for himself
and to spare. Life will not be
boresome; attitudes will not
sour, and life will be rich, full
and happy. You will not have
to wonder, “Is religion dead?”
You will ask, “Am I dead re
ligiously?” When we. paswer
this question We wil ldo some
thing about it.
