THIS IS THE GOSPEL To Every Creature Text: Mic. 16-15; And he said unto them, go ye into ail the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. Did you ever see—A Witch doctor snatch a little baby from its mother’s arms, lay it cn its back, pour handfuls of sand down its mouth un til it strangled to death, this happened in Australia. Or a mother c imb to the top rs a tree and jump to her death, because a witch doctor says she is responsible for the death of her child, believing that if she is in re cent, the jump will not hurt her, ‘ this happens in Afr ca today.” Or a mother slowly chok ing to death, after being haneed. because on that South Pacific Island it s part of their relig on to be buried wU.h your husband when he dies. Or a Native doctor holding the head of a lovely young girl between h ! s knees, and saw her teeth out, a tribal custom, or religion. Or a pagan devotee stand i o the middle of town take a long knife, and hack h ! s head open, till it gushes bo d. then cram newspapers i”>to the gashes and sets them on fire, because he be lieves he must suffer in this manner to get to Heaven. I realize this does .not soimd good, but these con ditions are still in many parts of the world to day. But religious practice, however pagan it mav be, will not save a Foul. Tills on ly proves that the Soul of every man desires to wor ship something. I believe that all the discomforts of mankind are due to his lack of fellowsh’p with God. Man w'h never find hap piness until he realizes th>s and comes to God by repenting of his sins, and fellowship is restored again. The preaching of the Gos pel is the greatest commis sion God ever gave to man. Preaching just anything could be foolish, but the preaching of the vospel, fgood news of So'vatlon) Is our urgent task. (I Cor 121). When the world by wisdom k~ew not God, it p’eased God that by the foolishness of p’raclvng, to save them that believe God gives men faith through preaching. A feovi ttnt. will release him from sin’s bondage. But let us notice the text: ‘‘to every creature ” To every creature means to the Hea then; through Missionaries. K- means to the business man up town, one’s next d or n.-ighbor, to every crea ture means YOU. The man who spends his money lor (l!.: ;:. while his children go nak \i and hungry, needs to lvar and h( ,*d the Gospel. THE YANCEY RECORD DANCE CLUB TO MEET , The Burnsville Dance Club will hold its monthly dance Saturday night, November 27th, at the Community Budding. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Young are In charge of the dance committee for this month’s dance. Only the Gaspel of Jesus Christ, preached in the pow er of the Holy Ghost, will bring about genuine repen tence and change lives. And only changed lives can chan ge our Society; Amen. The mother who left sick child ren at home, while she stay ed out in Sinful pleasure un til three o’clock in the morn ing, needs to hear and heed the Gospel. You don’t have to go to Africa, to find peo ple who need to hear the Gospel. May this Gospel mes sage be to YOU the good news cf salvation of the transforming Power of God, who only is able to Save and Heal. For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us who are Saved, it is the p~wer of God unto Salva tion, (I Cor. 1-18). By Rev. O E. Brinson, Pas tor, West Burnsville Church of God, Tel. 682-2437. o j ® A m/m l*- WMHBBMm .... * The Sky’s the Limit! Some people with email incomes seem to be able to save a great deal of money. Others earning twice as much just "can't save a dime." Why? Per sistence is usually the answer. It's necessary to be "regular" when it comes to saving money. Open a Northwestern Savings Account and fry it-you'll find "the sky's the limit."
