0 ut For God
By E. B. ADAMS
During the past weeks, we have
talked primarily about the need
for us to read and study the Bible,
the word of God. We talked about
some 'of the things which are of
great importance to keep in mind
when studying the Bible, & which
will be of great help in hav
ing a better understanding of the
Bible.

as my own personal Saviour and
friend. And how I believed, walk
ed with, and followed Him for a
while, and then I left Him, fell |
away and turned back to my own
way. “From that time many of
His disciples went back, and walk
ed no more with Him. Then said
Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye
also go away?” John 6:66-67. I
left my first
love & remain
ed that way
for over forty
years. “Remem
ber therefore
form when ce
thou art fallen,
and repent” see
Revelation 2:4
and 5.
Then one day I came back to
Jesus in genuine repentance and
sorrowfulness. And went on to
surrender myself fully and com
pletely to Him, together with all
I had or ever hoped to have; and
ever since that day, it has been,
“not my will, but Thine be done”
m my life.
I guess most of us feel we make
this surrender at the time Jesus,
nrst saves us, and we do in a
sense. But afterwards, He

ZJ! hadn t re Lrl realized h \ C \ to h be r t0f wrong ° re We or
sinful. He now shows us that in
order for our surrender to be com
plete, it will be necessary that we
let go of these other hindrances
as well. And it is at this point
that so many of us falter; stop
short of full surrender. We are
not willing to let go and let God
have His complete way in our
lives, with our possessions, our
all, and we fall away. There is no
standing still or stopping point in
the realm of the Christian life.
We either gto forward or back
ward; one or the other. And the
longer we refuse to go forward
unto a full surrender the harder
it becomes to do so, and the more
likely we will never do so.
It has been about three mon
ths since we bgean these articles.
It seems less to me. Time is flit
ting by. God tells us we should
be “Redeeming the time, because
the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:16.
Jesus once said “I must work the
works of Him that sent me while
it is day; the night cometh when
no man can work.” In other words,
let us make hay while the sun
shines, and before it is forever
too late. We are living in perilous
times and I feel most of us realize
this. “Be ye therefore ready also;

carrle ' n
this years prolonged Fourth of
July holiday weekend.
In announcing plans for the gig
antic operation, Col. R. H. Bur
son, director of the Georgia De
partment of Public Safety, warned
motorists that moire state patrol
men will be on the roads at one
time than ever before, and that
they have orders to ‘get tough’ if
necessary in an effort to hold
down accidents and resultant dea
ths.

total of 102 hoursJFriday, July 5,
has been officially proclaimed a
state holiday by Gov. Lester G.
Maddox).
While the patrol is aiming for a
‘deathless’ holiday span, indicat
ions are that despite all efforts
tragedy will strike. For example,
based on Georgia’s traffic accid
ent experiences over past July 4th
holiday periods: and on present
trends, the patrol predicts that at
least 2 i persons will be killed and
311 others injured in 659 accidents

I want to take this opportunity
to thank you for your prayers of
the past, and again ask that you
continue to pray for me. Also, I
want to thank each of you for all
the kind and encouraging remarks
you have said to me, both directl y
and indirectly. I wonder some
times how far a person would get,
in any realm of life, if he never
received an expression of love and
encouragement, or if he never
knew of any appreciation or wor
thwhile results for his efforts.
Especially would this be true in
the realm of trying to be a serv
ant of God with all its opposition.
I have a strong feeling it would
be a mighty tough go, and in ef
fect, very discouraging. So to God
give the glory.
Next week we will be speaking
directly to our young people; al
though applicable to those of us
who are older as well.
LISTEN YOUNG PEOPLE —
God has a wonderful plan for
your life. Would you like to know
what it is?
