enemies. Peter wanted to be close
enough TO share in the glory; but
he did not want to be close enough
to be endangered by the angry null
titudes in case things got too hot,
so he followed afar off,
1--WE have too many Christians
today that are following afar off.
They follow so far off that they
drift into the armies OF Satan and
become his allies instead of the
allies Of Jesus Christ These per-
sons do not decide 10 become sim
ners or failures. They do not at
any particular point in their lives
make a decision 10 be un-Christian
and evil. but they drift into Satan's
army little by little. Eventually
these persons are overwhelmed by
the tide in which they drift.
Peter really loved Jesus at this
stage OF his life. Peter believed
implicitly in his loyalty and self
sufficiency for Jesus. But self
sufficiency never brings you to
Jesus. When We believe our own
powers are able to meet every sit
uatIon before God and man. there
Is a small chance for that person
TO go TO God. But Peter came back
to Cod
when Christ arose from the
tomb. he gave the order. Go tell my
disciples and Peter to meet me In
Galilee. OF all the disciples, Pc
ter was the most miserable during
the period OF Christ's suffering and
sacrifice. Filled with humility, Pc
ter said. 81 do not consider myself
worthy 10 be crucifed as Christ
was crucifed.' Henceforth, Peter
became one OF the most earnest and
devoted OF Christ's disciples"
Then directly admonishing his
members. the Rev. Mr.. Clay said
you used to love the church
why don't you serve II today? Why
stand afar? Your work Is more
needed IN the church than ever be-
fore. Come back 10 Gods church
No matter what sins you have COM
mltted or the nature OF those sins
come back 10 the church. Do not
languish IN the arms OF Satan! DC
not stand affair off. DO not drift
little by little away from the sal
walton OF Christ. The church
stretches out her arms TO you.
