PASTOR'S PEN
" THE DEVIL WANTS YOU "
LUKE 31-34
I have heard many people actually saying
they have seen the devil. He has appeared
to them in a dream, or visibly as they were
at work. To many he has appeared in a
moment of idleness as he appeared to King
David.
The study of the devil has gripped the
hearts of men through the ages. I want to
gather three Biblical teachings for our con
sideration. First, there is a devil. Jesus
said there was a devil. He saw the devil in
His temptations which are recorded in Mat
thew chapter 4. The devil tempted Him at
four points; food, personal safety, material
wealth, and the worship of evil. Then again
in Mathew Jesus pictured the devil as the
sower of evil seed in the hearts and minds
of men. Jesus said in Luke 10; 18, "I beheld
Satan as lightening fall from heaven. " Paul
spoke of the devil in his sermon to King
Agrippa, and he spoke of the devil again to
the Corinthians. John in 1 John 3;8 states
that, He that committeth sin is of the devil."
How does the devil look? Some have descr
ibed him as having a long forked tail and
horns. The Bible doesn't describe him like
that. He can make himself to appear like a
man or any other creature. If you have
never met the devil it's because you and he
are going in the same direction.
In the second place, what does the devil
want with you? He can't destroy the soul of
a Christian in hell. He wants "to sift you as
wheat. " He wants to paralyze your life. He
wants you to go easy on your preaching,
witnessing and teaching. He wants you to
stay away from church and cut prayer out
of your life. He cannot destroy the Christian
soul in hell but he can give you hell here.
He is miserable and he wants you to be
miserable.
In the third place, How can we get rid of
the devil? James says, "resist the devil
and he will flee from you. " Jesus defeated
him by the use of Scripture and refusing to
compromise. When Jesus is supreme in
your life the devil will have to back off.
Every time Jesus and the devil have met
the devil has fled. We can defeat him in
Jesus'name. The seventy said, "Lord, even
the devils are subject unto us through thy
name. " The devil wants you. Get rid of
him, in the name of Christ come to Jesus.

Georgia
Scene
in higher
J education
Dr. DuPree Jordan Jr. ]
lIJgH
A few months ago the
Southern Regional Education
Board published a bulletin on
financing higher education
with the lead story under a
bold headline: Stop-Gap
Measures or Fundamental
Change? This was a most
fascinating study, pointing to
several aspects of financial
problems faced today in the
field of higher education, but
presented a rather gloomy
picture, particularly for
private or independent
colleges.
The SREB report started
off with this statement:
“Higher education was
perhaps the nation’s largest
growth industry during the
period 1955-1970. Budgets for
all higher education
institutions rose more than
seven-fold, from an estimated
$4 billion in 1955 to an
estimated total of S2B billion
in 1970-71. Current fund
income rose more than
five-fold to sl9 billion, an
average annual increase of
13.5 percent for the period
1955-56 to 1965-66. Federal
monies granted to higher
education institutions
increased from SSOO million in
1955 to $4.4 billion in 1968.”
The ideal of a college
education for every American
citizen grew dramatically
during that period, and there
were a number of romantic
elements involved in the total
picture. Hard-headed
educators recognized that such
explosive growth could not
continue indefinitely; indeed
it has dropped off drastically
in recent years. As the SREB
article stated, recent decreases
in the funding of higher
education make it clear that
“this sacred cow isn’t as sacred
as it once was thought to be.”
The report states: “In 1964,
federal funds obligated by all
agencies to universities and
colleges increased 15 percent
over 1963. In 1965, federal
funds grew by 41.9 percent
over the 1964 level. However,
starting in 1966 the increase
dropped to 30.6 percent, to
10 percent in 1967, and to 2
percent in 1968. By 1970,
federal support decreased by 7
percent, some $227 million
less than federal support of
colleges and universities for
fiscal year 1969.”
Some Fight Back
The fact that 21 substantial
institutions of higher
education closed their doors
permanently during 1970
came as quite a shock to
colleges all over the nation,
and caused a number of
southern institutions to look
for new and different ways to
stabilize their financial
reserves. The University of
Miami alumni support, for
example increased during
1970-71 by $36,643, to a new
high of $663,643. The major
factor in this reversal of
general trends was an intensive
telephone campaign which
raised $233,229, an increase
of $76,000 over the previous
year.
Over in the state of
Alabama, in an effort to make
college giving more convenient
and attractive to prospective
donors, Livingston State
University became the first
school in the country to
contract with American
Express and the second school
in the country to cooperate
with Bank Americard and
Master Charge for the handling
of college gifts.
Up in Cleveland, Ohio,
institutions of higher
education have benefited for
several years from the One
Percent Cleveland Compact.
This is an arrangement
whereby 33 major companies
in that area have agreed to give
at least one percent of their
income before taxes to
Cleveland area colleges and
universities. This pattern is
being explored and
encouraged vigorously by
several urban institutions in
the South.
Predictions Fail
The financial problems of
colleges and universities,
particularly the independent
institutions, is dramatized by
the decline in voluntary
financial support during the
1969-70 year. Projections
were made back in 1962
which indicated that such
voluntary support to
institutions of higher
education in this nation would
be very close io $2.5 billion
dollars during 1969-70, but
the actual amount for that
period turned out to be less
$1.5 billion, or only sixty
percent of what was expected.
The projections had indicated,
for example, that business and
corporations would contribute
$508,157,000, whereas the
actual contribution turned out .
to be only $222,416,000. I
General Welfare Foundations
were expected to give
$520,759,000, but only
donated $359,316,000.
Alumni were counted on for
$591,487,000, but only came
up with $314,348,000, while
non-alumni were expected to
give $524,622,000 and
actually gave only
$365,547,000. The most
dramatic disappointment of all
classifications was in the
contributions made by
religious denominations to
their own institutions. While
churches and religious groups
were expected to support
colleges and universities in the
amount of $215,604,000,
they actually gave only
$83,358,000, during 1969-70,
or just over thirty-eight
percent of the expected
amount.
As a result of such a
precipitious drop in the
1969-70 year, private colleges
and universities increased their
tuition charges during the
1970-71 by an average of
about 40 percent over 1968
levels. Obviously, they cannot
continue to pass on to the
student these higher costs, as
one of the major problems
already is the great gap
between what individuals must
pay at private colleges
compared to public
institutions.
The SREB report concludes
its detailed study with the
statement: “A touch of
adversity can help to bring
about much needed change in
colleges and universities, but
lack of resources, like lack of
food, cannot be tolerated
indefinitely.”
While most independent
colleges and universities are
making remarkable efforts to
improve their operations,
providing more and better
courses for less costs, they are
obviously in a battle for
survival which has far-reaching
implications for all Georgia
citizens. (78)
