The
t
Living
Way
By REV. ROGER WILLIAMS
PASTOR, CUMMING FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH
We need an experimental rellglon--one that can stand up
to new tests and new surroundings. If It stood up well In
horse and buggy days, can It stand up In the space age? For
, Christians, It’s not a question of whether or not Christ can
. meet the new age, but whether we can. If we prefer to stick
to what we did and knew In the earlier time, we will be the
; ones In difficulty In the new age, not our Lord. Our Lord
was easily adaptable to new situations without being over
whelmed by them. New faces and new ideas failed to frigh
ten him because he knew who he was, where he came from
and where he was going. This same formula works for us
if we will use it. We can be free to welcome the new because
we will be free to select and choose as we have before, con
fident still that our Lord will help us. We make these ever
increasing decisions best when we are confident that we
belong to Christ, For the Christian, knowing that your real
beginnings start with your trust In and acceptance of, Christ,
, gives you a definite starting point for real life. Also, fear
,of the new and untried loses its grip when we realize that
the future is always In Christ’s hands. If we’re Christians,
'‘we’re going to be with him always and that means the fut
ure Is bright and certain regardless of what happens. So
relax, and start to really do great things with him In 1973.

From the
Pastor’s pen
Our fourth point in the series,
entitled "The Greatest Perfor
mance of the ages” Luke 1:45,
is titled:
IV. Protracted Performance,
which means prolonged. This Is
broken down In the following
points: Jesus was Borned to be
Prophet, Priest and King.
First: as Prophet, He Is the
word of God. John Id, "The word
was made flesh and dwelt among
us ... full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14. He was and Is truth
personified. He declared that
his "Word would not pass

away,” Matt. 24:35. He was de
clared to be a “prophet mighty
In deed and word” Luke 24:19.
Men are "Amazed at His
words” for they were “words
of eternal life,” John 6:68. As
God’s Drophet. He gave forth
God’s plan for man.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
he that heareth my word, and
helteveth on him that sent me.
has everlasting me, and shall
not come Into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto
life.
Jesus came, and satan was
made mad, but the heart of man
was made glad; for he said "I
am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it
(life) more abundantly.” John
. 10:10.
Why could Jesus speak and
say what he did about eternal
life? Because He was the very
fulfillment of the prophets of
God In Isa. 53: He would give
his lfe as a lamb before the
shearers.

We light up one out of
every four Georgians.
They are people who live in areas where
they couldn’t get electricity from any other
source. So they formed consumer-owned electric
utilities—4l of them—that maintain over
7 7,000 miles of lines—enough to go three times
around the earth—to bring dependable electric
power to 80% of the area of Georgia. That ’s
doing a big job, and we think you ought to know
about it. Because if we don’t light you up,
we probably do light up someone you know or
love. So remember who we are.
