Going to meeting is the order of the


night
Carol Nunley and Chas. Sweeton
are holding porotracted meeting ON
Shad Hill. They commenced their
meeting at the Brown School house
and they claim that the youngsters
misbehaved so that they had to move
it to the hill, but cam see how they
bettered their condition for it has come
to time that Gods people can't meet
at the house of God to worship unless
| they go to see and be seen and to cast
googoo eyes at each other and giggle
and laugh.
In my youth young man that got
| drunk or misbehaved at church nice,
respectable young lady would not no.
! tice any more than as If was sheep
killing dog, but there is class of girls
| in these days that are as bad or worse
than the boys, and if didn't have any
more respect for myself and the Lord
that created me and preserved my life
| than to 20 to church to misbehave
| would stay at home. There is as much
difference in the way and manner that
some people are claiming to worship
God and now and 35 years ago as there
is in the way that the youngsters con-
duct themselves. So then how can we
expect any better, but this is accord
ing to the Scriptures: Nov, the
| Spirit speaketh expressly that in the
latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils, speaking lies
in hypocrisy, but evil men and seduc-
ers shall wax worse and worse, deceiv-
ing and being deceived" And again
the same writers said, 'For the time
will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine but after their own lusts
shall they keep to themselves teachers
having itching ears and they shall
turn away their ears from the truth
and shall he turned unto fables" And
again he said, but though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach any Other
gospel unto you than that which we
have preached unto you let him be
accursed. Christ said that you confes:
Him with your lips but your hearts
are far from him SO it is not every
one that sayeth, Lord, Lord, shall
enter in. Neither is every one thai
claims to be church that is church
When Christ came to set up his church
or His kingdom he only set up one
faith. Seven churches are mention
ed in the Bible but they are all of the
same faith and order. Christ said,
And / say also unto thee that thou ar
Peter and upon this Rock | will built
My Church and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it" Thus we SEE
that Christ's church is built out of sucl
material as Peter.
1t had been revealed to them by tn,
Father or from heaven that He wa
, the Christ but the great trouble i
, there are two many that are led by tn
! arm of flesh There are some peopl
! that are ready to grasp at every new
thing that comes around. We have
new theory that they call the dancin,
! Holiness and they have led off severa
J of the people at this place, and the
) can t find where Christ ever introduce
any such thing. We find while un
der the law they danced but we ar
: not under the law but under grace
So we find a great difference in tn
; way and manner the people worshipe
; God under the law. While under tn
6 law they offered up burnt Offering
and sacrifices and music and danced
5 mostly for world or bodily exercise
! now Christ has come and offered II
. himself sacrifice that will for eve
Z perfect them that are sanctified. An
Y he tells his children to follow him, {
u them we see plainly that everyon
. that claims to be following Christ
y not, for Christ is not divided Neal
/ er is His Church or His kingdom.
= Thus we see very plainly that thes
u new theories or new ways are not {
Is Christ but of the carnal mind, fC
!. there is but one way and that is Chris
!, for he said, Il am the way the trut
!, and the life, but there is way whic
n seemeth right unto men but the en-
u thereof are the ways of death.
% then it will not do for a man TO folio
% his own carnal nature. Then, brett
rem, be careful. Don't be carrie
about by every wind of doctrine fl
they will comein in such way thi
they would deceive the very elect,
possible. SO then, brethren, beware
evil workers, for we are circumcise
which worship God in the spirit an
rejoice in Christ Jesus and have !
confidence in the flesh.
Come on. Bill Engine. You gay
