will say - "Yes, I know, Christmas is a pagan custom that started
long before the time of Christ -- but we don't observe it to
worship heathen false gods -- we use it to honor CHRIST!" Do you
know what GOD SAYS about that? He says HE WILL NOT ACCEPT such
worship! He commands us not to take part in it. Speaking of the
way pagans worshipped their false gods, the ETERNAL commands: "Take
heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,...and
that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, 'How did these
nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.' Thou shalt
not do so unto the LORD THY GOD; for every abomination to the LORD,
which He hateth, have they done unto their gods!" (Deut. 12:30-31).
Co-Workers, Jesus Christ is ALIVE! He lives! He is the
living, guiding, directing HEAD of THIS WORK! He has called YOU
and me, to be CO-WORKERS WITH HIM in completing THE WORK OF GOD!
The GREAT COMMISSION is: "Go ye into all the world, and
preach the GOSPEL!" The very SAME Gospel HE TAUGHT! Of HIS WORK
today -- right NOW -- just before THE END OF THIS WORLD, He says:
"This Gospel of the KINGDOM shall be preached in all the world, for
a witness unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END (of this world)
come."
Right now we are coming in on the home stretch of this
race to get HIS GOSPEL into all nations, around the world! TIME IS
ALMOST UP! It is FAR later than you think! WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS
WORK YET TO DO!
Already the living CHRIST is using us, in this Work, to
get His Gospel AROUND THE WORLD -- into every inhabited continent
on earth! But not yet into ALL nations!
Christ Himself is SPEEDING UP the pace of this work
almost beyond belief! It is only OUR CO-WORKERS who are lagging
behind right now! Jesus Christ is moving events along so fast,
right now, I am astonished myself! A week ago a long distance
telephone call from our office in England summoned me to take an
unexpected jet-plane flight to London and back. I returned just
last night. A TREMENDOUS thing happened!
You'll remember, of course, that Radio Luxembourg opened
its door to The WORLD TOMORROW broadcast the first week in 1953.
That station has several different transmissions on different wave-
lengths. The one beamed on England, called "208," does not
apparently transmit the same maximum power as their French beam.
And it is so far away from England, that its reception there is not
good at the hour they allot to us. When we were on at 11:30 to
midnight, the reception was fairly good in England -- but most
people had already gone to sleep. Then more than a year ago they
changed us to 6:00 P.M. Half of the year that is long before dark.
Even in the winter the signal is not too strong at that hour. It
delivers far fewer listeners now than it did at 11:30 P.M. And we
have had it only two nights a week!
BUT NOW LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED!
A NEW STATION is opening up -- COMMERCIAL RADIO right on
