PRESIDENT CARTER<br />
I was so pleased to read your editorial<br />
,- concerning President Jimmy. Carter. I<br />
shall never forget hearing him give his<br />
Christian testimony when I attended a<br />
.prayer breakfast in Atlanta, Ga. when<br />
he was governor <strong>of</strong> Georgia; There is no<br />
doubt that the commitment that President,<br />
Carter had to his Lord and to his church<br />
while he 'was President <strong>of</strong> the United<br />
States had a pr<strong>of</strong>ound positive influence<br />
for the Christian witness throughout our<br />
country. Just ] a |few weeks ago I flew to<br />
Baltimore, Md. jarea to make plans for a<br />
youth "choir mission trip. An associational<br />
missionary told |'me that the coming <strong>of</strong><br />
Jimmy Carter to the White House literally<br />
put Southern {<strong>Baptist</strong> work on the map.<br />
I have been disturbed in recent months<br />
to t£ad critical remarks about Mr. Carter<br />
from fellow <strong>Baptist</strong>s, it is one thing to<br />
differ from him on political issues such<br />
as the ERA Amendment and the Panama<br />
Canal issue; it is quite another matter to<br />
try to make tfjese political issues cross<br />
over into the religious realm. We should<br />
be thankful as <strong>Baptist</strong>s that a man <strong>of</strong> our<br />
faith not bnly attended church regularly<br />
but even took I time to teach a Sunday<br />
school class. May his tribe .increase!—<br />
Gerald Brown, Richardson, Texas<br />
- • • t ' . •<br />
Your <strong>April</strong>" 1 article "Jimmy Carter—<br />
a Christian" is a disgrace to a <strong>Baptist</strong><br />
publication. , } . " " .<br />
You know that he wore his claimed<br />
Christianity externally as a. means to<br />
political ends, j And" you know that his<br />
Why. Not the Best? turned out to be the<br />
worst we've hacl in many years.<br />
You know that he is a complete hypocrite,<br />
one whom Jesus called "whitewashed<br />
sepulchres," nice looking on the<br />
outside but full <strong>of</strong> corruption. v<br />
Since you know these facts, your article"<br />
is as hypocritical as Carter is. Let's<br />
have.no more hypocrisy in your writings.<br />

SUPER CHURCHES<br />
- It appears that we don't have to wonder<br />
any longer about the "Fox" referred<br />
to in your March 25 editorial, and his<br />
position on liquor by the drink. That was<br />
good! j<br />
Also on the same editorial page you<br />
mentioned "Super Churches" which is a<br />
subject very near to my heart.<br />
The thing that bothers me is that I<br />
read words like yours and others, conventionwide,<br />
which recognize th$ "greatness"<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 22,000 |(61 percent) churches with<br />

than 300 members but few, if any,<br />
<strong>of</strong> the pastors <strong>of</strong> these great "super<br />
churches" ever make it to the pulpit to<br />
preach at any <strong>of</strong> our state or SBC meetings.<br />
We need to hear, from these men and<br />
not just the Bailey Smiths, Charles Stanleys,<br />
John Bisagnos and W. A. Criswells<br />
if our editorials and other writings have<br />
any depth and legtimacy.<br />
I for one, would like to see them do<br />
more than read Scripture and pray at our<br />
state and SBC meetings. I wonder if we<br />
will ever see it! I wonder.—Del Allen/<br />

ERA<br />
Thanks for your good paper and the<br />
opportunity to share our views.<br />
The speaker <strong>of</strong> the House <strong>of</strong> Representatives<br />
said that he had decided to.<br />
bring the ERA up to vote again just before<br />
the session closes. He was convinced<br />
the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oklahoma</strong> wanted it after<br />
all. The militant ERA workers are spending<br />
thousands <strong>of</strong> dollars. They are using<br />
it to make converts and get them to bombard<br />
their representatives and speaker<br />
with letters, cards and phone calls.<br />
I am afraid the opponents are just going<br />
their merry way. There are enough<br />
wise people who read the <strong>Baptist</strong> Messenger<br />
to win .if they would only wake up<br />
and write, phone and visit their representative.<br />
Paul <strong>of</strong> the. New Testament was<br />
not afraid to fight the good battle <strong>of</strong> truth<br />
and contact the rulers <strong>of</strong> that day.—<br />
Mrs. Ruth Leedy, Crescent<br />
OTAG<br />
I am writing about your editorial advocating<br />
increased tuition aid grants.<br />
Your inconsistency amazes me. On the<br />
one hand you criticize tuition tax credits<br />
for private schools, but on the other you<br />
advocate student grants to attend public '<br />
"Perhaps your husband is not quite<br />
ready for this counseling session, Mrs.<br />
Smith."<br />
and private colleges. On one hand you<br />
are critical <strong>of</strong> Jerry Falwell's interjecting<br />
religion into politics (even though he represents<br />
only one local <strong>Baptist</strong> church)<br />
while you use your position as a paid<br />
staffer <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Convention</strong><br />
to push your-political view on tuition<br />
aid grants and other issues as well. .<br />
You have every.right as a private citizen<br />
to take conservative or liberal positions<br />
(I notice you seem to be rather<br />
liberal) on public issues, but I resent the<br />
implication that your view is the Christian<br />
position on a public political issue."'<br />

deacon at First-Church, Shawnee has to.<br />

grants, you tell me.—Steve Byas, Sapulpa.<br />
BILL MOYERS<br />
I am deeply concerned over the movement<br />
away from articles <strong>of</strong> real spiritual<br />
significance by the <strong>Baptist</strong> Messenger.<br />
A prime example is the article on Bill<br />
Movers, I have nothing against him. My<br />
concern is why such an article appears in<br />
a publication financed by Cooperative<br />
Program dollars. It doesn't glorify God,<br />
strengthen believers or address an issue.<br />
For one who only a few months ago was<br />
concerned over the space occupied by<br />
church attendance reports, there seemed<br />
to be no reluctance to expend a full pagel<br />
on a man who, by his own admission, has!<br />
had a normal religious experience, but<br />
doesn't know what that is; a man who<br />
arrived where he is by believing in something,<br />
whatever it was. Countless millions<br />
-have followed this same example. What<br />
ever happened to prayer and the direction<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit?<br />
If he has not moved beyond his <strong>Baptist</strong><br />
origins, why is he a member <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Church <strong>of</strong> Christ? Are we to believe both<br />
are New Testament churches? No mention<br />
is made <strong>of</strong> Jesus in the article, only<br />
a jesting reference to the Lord. Certainly<br />
there is news <strong>of</strong> more interest to <strong>Oklahoma</strong><br />
<strong>Baptist</strong>s. I, for one, would like to<br />
have heard more about the revival in<br />
Modesto, Calif, or the revival at Norman,<br />
Trinity where there were 116 additions :<br />
by baptism in five days. Surely an interview<br />
with Bailey Smith, the evangelist,<br />
or pastor, Bill Elliff, would be <strong>of</strong> great<br />
interest. - . .<br />
I will continue to read the <strong>Baptist</strong><br />
Messenger, and hope it moves back to<br />
the standard <strong>of</strong> excellent Christian journalism<br />
it has set in the past.—Billy R.<br />

THE BAPTIST MESSENGER<br />
Editorials<br />
Family: The Foundation <strong>of</strong> Society<br />
Family is the basic unit <strong>of</strong> our society. As soon as God<br />
created man, he saw the need for a helpmeet to make him<br />
complete. Thus at the beginning <strong>of</strong>Miuman history God established<br />
a family.<br />
There are various definitions <strong>of</strong> family today. Most <strong>of</strong><br />
us consider an ideal family to consist <strong>of</strong> a husband and wife<br />
with their <strong>of</strong>fspring living together in the same household.<br />
The growth in number <strong>of</strong> single parent families is altering the<br />
definition <strong>of</strong> family, sometimes drastically. Working mothers<br />
make up a growing segment <strong>of</strong> the population further complicating<br />
the definition. This decade individuals living alone<br />
could become the fastest growing population category.<br />
While some sociologists define families as one or more<br />
persons living together in the same household, that hardly<br />
measures up to-the biblical model <strong>of</strong> the family. At one time<br />
the family included parents, children and grandparents living<br />
and working together. Today.few families have taken responsibility<br />
for grandparents f within the home and retirement<br />
centers and rest homes have taken the place <strong>of</strong> family for<br />
the elderly. Easy divorce has divided family units in. record<br />
numbers. Currently almost one-third <strong>of</strong> U.S. marriages will<br />
end in divorce leaving millions <strong>of</strong> children to be reared by a<br />
single parent, usually the mother. .<br />
The family should be a warm, nurturing atmosphere in<br />
which all members can experience love/and the freedom to<br />
grow into the persons God intends for them to be. Unfortunately<br />
many families fail to provide that kind <strong>of</strong> atmosphe're.<br />
Many families are battlegrounds. The members spend much<br />
<strong>of</strong> their time fighting among themselves over such things as<br />
What God Is Doing<br />
"God may be getting ready to do something." That is the<br />
conclusion evangelist Jack Stanton draws from the many reports<br />
<strong>of</strong> unusually large numbers <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essions <strong>of</strong> faith in<br />
revivals this spring.<br />
The column written this week by <strong>Oklahoma</strong> Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Evangelism .Jerry Don Abernathy mentions several such revivals<br />
in our state. Evangelist Freddie Gage, who was the<br />
preacher in two <strong>of</strong> the meetings, said, "Never have I witnessed<br />
a greater moving <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit." He suggests that there<br />
may be-a spiritual^awakening all over the country. He very<br />
well could be correct.<br />
' .- ! .<br />
I believe history demonstrates that there are cycles in<br />
evangelism. We may be entering a cycle <strong>of</strong> heightened concern<br />
for lost people and a greater emphasis on reaching them<br />
with the gospel. Several factors seem to indicate this may<br />
be so. . - . ' • - . "<br />
The 8.5 by 85 Sunday school enlistment program-being<br />
launched this year has put a renewed emphasis on the: primary<br />
outreach organization in <strong>Baptist</strong> churches. As we; become<br />
more aware <strong>of</strong> the need for Sunday school growth there will<br />
be a larger number <strong>of</strong> qualified evangelism prospects in regular<br />
contact with our churches. These are the people who can<br />
be reached most easily. ^<br />
There is a growing emphasis on personal evangelism. It<br />
seems to me that more and more churches are enlisting and<br />
table manners, money, school, church, political issues and<br />
personal ego problems. Some families are refrigerators and<br />
members freeze each other out by refusing to communicate<br />
about even the most trivial matters. Such families fall far<br />
short <strong>of</strong> the biblical ideal. ;<br />
Love is the foundation on which the Christian family<br />
must be built. Love causes each family member to consider<br />
the wishes and well being <strong>of</strong> others to be more important<br />
than his own. It does not demand that each person become a<br />
carbon copy <strong>of</strong> every other person in the family. It allows<br />
openness so that members can express themselves in a nonthreatening<br />
atmosphere, and learn and grow together.<br />
Churches must learn to minister to families without contributing<br />
to their fragmentation. Social and peer pressures<br />
pull families in many directions, and the church must find a<br />
way to draw families together and. help them become the<br />
warm, loving, growing institutions God intended for them<br />
to be.<br />
It is possible to magnify the ideal family in such a way<br />
that people feel guilty, for their failures and cease striving to<br />
build sound family structures.. We can set rules for family<br />
behavior and discipline that drive family members apart. We<br />
can fill the church calendar so full <strong>of</strong> worthy meetings and<br />
projects that families have no time to live and work together<br />
at the job <strong>of</strong> being family. When these happen we are in<br />
danger <strong>of</strong> weakening rather than strengthening the family.<br />
Christian Home Week is designed to magnify* and encourage<br />
the Christian family. Let's use it to help our families discover<br />
ways to open avenues <strong>of</strong> communication and build<br />
bridges <strong>of</strong> understanding between their members, to encourage<br />
establishment <strong>of</strong> family altars and to identify ways to diminish<br />
conflicts.—RTM . :<br />
training individuals for personal witnessing efforts. Materials<br />
currently available for witness training stress the importance<br />
<strong>of</strong> learning by doing, and training is more effective. The new<br />
Continuing Witness Training program developed by the Home;<br />
Mission Board Evangelism Division looks like one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most practical and usable programs available -anywhere. Its<br />
use could have a major impact on evangelism results in the<br />
coming years. -<br />
Churches also are using the-revival more effectively-as a<br />
harvest tool. Not much that is out <strong>of</strong> the ordinary was tried<br />
by the churches reporting unusual results this spring. They<br />
featured stirring revival music, some used testimonies <strong>of</strong> well<br />
known personalities and fervent evangelistic preaching. Butg<br />
all these have been used before. The difference has to be in<br />
the commitment <strong>of</strong> church members. The pastor and evangelist<br />
can't bring revival to a church. It has to come through<br />
the concern and work <strong>of</strong> the whole congregation, and their<br />
dependence on the Holy Spirit.<br />
Through the years we have employed many methods to<br />
make revival happen. Some <strong>of</strong> them have been gimmicks<br />
that-worked for a little while and then ceased to be effective<br />
as people became accustomed to them. We may be learning<br />
that nothing beats earnest prayer, faithful witnessing to the<br />
lost and a simple presentation <strong>of</strong> the gospel. The churches<br />
that do all <strong>of</strong> these, regardless <strong>of</strong> size, will have results.<br />
It well may be that God is getting ready to do something.<br />
I can hardly wait to see what it is.—RTM<br />

Three Southern <strong>Baptist</strong> leaders have issued a call for a special Mother's Day<br />
prayer for world evangelization,and for peace with justice to coincide with Evangelist<br />
Billy Graham's preaching visit to Moscow beginning May 9. Issuing the call to<br />
Southern <strong>Baptist</strong> [pastors and churches to. include a special prayer in Mother's'Day*<br />
services this year are Bailey Smith 1 , president <strong>of</strong> the Southern <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>Convention</strong>;<br />
William Tanner, {president <strong>of</strong> the Home Mission Board, and Foy Valentine, executive<br />
director<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Christian Life Com- : ' " "<br />

Tanner heads {the agency charged with<br />
the responsibility for denominational<br />
leadership in evangelism and Valentine<br />
heads the agency responsible for denominational<br />
leadership for peace with justice.<br />
Graham will (preach iq both Russian<br />
Orthodox and <strong>Baptist</strong> churches on May<br />
9 and will also speak on May 11 in Moscpw<br />
to religious leaders from around the<br />
.world on the imperative <strong>of</strong> peace with<br />
gustice in a nuclear age.<br />
In their resolution the denominational<br />
leaders said tfiey were calling for this<br />
special Mothers Day .prayer, "Since<br />
Christians around the world are bound<br />
together by a common allegiance to God<br />
in Jesus Christ, by a common mandate<br />
to Share the good news, and by a common<br />
concern for peace with justice, and<br />
"Since in the fullness <strong>of</strong> time, God is<br />
siting before jus an open door for going<br />
into all the World to preach the gospel<br />
to every creature, and<br />
"Since thej* threat <strong>of</strong> annihilation<br />
through nuclear war hangs with increasing<br />

all humanity.'*<br />
Parks Visits in El Salvador<br />
Just back-(from visits to El Salvador<br />
and -Guatemala, R. Keith Parks said he<br />
was impressed with the quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong><br />
outreach in those two central American<br />
hotspots and six other Latin American<br />
countries he [visited.<br />
The Foreign Mission Board president<br />
and his wifej Helen Jean, visited the two<br />
nations plus j Belize and Barbados on the<br />
first leg <strong>of</strong>! their trip. They were accompanied<br />
Iby Don Kammerdiener, director<br />
for Middle America and the Caribbean,<br />
and his wife, Meredith. The Parkses<br />
also visited! Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay<br />
and Brazil. ,<br />
Making the trip to keep a "field perspective"<br />
as Ithe board's top administrative<br />
decision maker, Parks praised the missionaries<br />
for overseas service despite tensions<br />
and problems<br />
(<br />
on<br />
•<br />
the field.<br />
In Guatemala, where the two couples<br />
visited Jess [than a week before the recent<br />
coup, Parks said he could sense certain<br />
pressures .gnawing at some <strong>of</strong> the 22 missionaries.<br />

"If you probe them a little bit, some<br />
<strong>of</strong> them wit} begin to identify some <strong>of</strong><br />
their anxieties and uneasiness and discomforts<br />
and problems and "frustrations," he<br />
said. "Then, after you've scraped all that<br />
av/ay, they come back and say, The<br />
Lord has called us and this is where we're<br />
going to be 'til he directs otherwise.*"<br />
In El Salvador, Southern <strong>Baptist</strong>s' only<br />
two missionary couples are engaged in a<br />
rapidly expanding literature ministry. Reacting<br />
to political and economic uncertainties,<br />
middle class as well as poorer<br />
Salvadorans* are searching for truth in<br />
religious books, new churches are springing<br />
up and church attendance is increasing,<br />
Parks reported,<br />
He acknowledged the risk factor in<br />
serving in places like El Salvador and<br />
Guatemala. But he affirmed, "The whole<br />
basic thrust <strong>of</strong> the Christian theology<br />
says to me that the souls <strong>of</strong> people are<br />
worth the risk <strong>of</strong> living in an uncertain<br />
and maybe dangerous environment."<br />
Hot Tub Too Comfortable ""<br />
Rick Papp wanted everyone to know he<br />
meant business when he made his pr<strong>of</strong>ession<br />
<strong>of</strong> faith in Jesus Christ.<br />
When it came time to be baptized, Papp<br />
felt the warm water <strong>of</strong> a hot tub was "too<br />
comfortable to symbolize, the new commitment<br />
he had made." So Papp,-his pastor-<br />
Steve Moorhouse and a throng <strong>of</strong> spectators<br />
went seven miles south <strong>of</strong> the frozen<br />
mountain town <strong>of</strong> Crested! Butte, Colo, to<br />
find a ^stream that was not entirely frozen<br />
over.<br />
Papp stripped <strong>of</strong>f his shirt while Moorhouse<br />
donned leaky .fishing waders. Together<br />
they broke through the ice on the<br />
edge <strong>of</strong> the stream and waded in. "Needless<br />
to say," Moorhouse noted in his chapel<br />
newsletter, "We didn't linger long."<br />
Papp "was beaming from ear to ear the<br />
whole time" and said he was so warm inside<br />
it didn't bother him a bit, Moorhouse<br />
said. ' . -<br />
It turns out that Papp has been a member<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Wisconsin Polar Bear Club which<br />
each winter cuts holes in the ice for an<br />
invigorating swim. (BP)<br />

\<br />
Missionary Service Now Open to Foreign-born Persons <strong>Convention</strong> Parking Limited<br />
Persons born overseas who become<br />
naturalized U.S. pitizens can apply for<br />
appointment as Southern <strong>Baptist</strong> missionaries<br />
to countries other than their original<br />
homeland, according to new Foreign Mission<br />
Board guidelines.<br />
Effective May 1, the guidelines extend<br />
eligibility for appointment .consideration<br />
to naturalized citizens active in Southern<br />
<strong>Baptist</strong> churches, provided they meet requirements<br />
in education and experience.<br />
The rules seek to affirm appointment <strong>of</strong><br />
those who've adopted the United States<br />
as their homeland, while encouraging<br />
growth <strong>of</strong> missionary movements in Third<br />
World countries. .<br />
The guidelines modify a previous policy<br />
that limited appointment eligibility to<br />
naturalized citizens who moved to the<br />
United States before completing secondary<br />
school and to those from countries<br />

"I think this new step is more in line<br />
with the reality <strong>of</strong> the world in which we<br />
live and our own national makeup," said<br />
William R. O'Brien, Foreign Mission<br />
Board executive vice-president. "We're a<br />
continental, multiethnic denomination.<br />
We're seeking ways to more effectively<br />
channel the energies and spiritual gifts <strong>of</strong><br />
all Southern <strong>Baptist</strong>s as they make themselves<br />
available." '<br />
William R. Wakefield, board director<br />
for south and southeast Asia and a member<br />
<strong>of</strong> the task force which developed the<br />
new guidelines, expressed excitement<br />
about sending foreign-born missionaries<br />
<strong>of</strong> varying ethnic groups to the nations<br />
in his area. He believes they will a^d<br />
"diversity and enrichment" to mission]<br />
work and-bring cross-cultural skills already<br />
learned in their move to the United<br />
States. .<br />
"Too <strong>of</strong>ten we've presented the image<br />
<strong>of</strong> a white, 'all-American,' group that<br />
doesn't model who we really are," Wakefield<br />
said. (BP)<br />

'Wounded 7 Pastors Find Salve at Louisville "Healing 7 Church<br />
By Susan K. Taylor<br />
Life in the pastorate no longer has to<br />
end-for the estimated 50 Kentucky pastors<br />
who .are fired or asked to resign each<br />
year. ><br />
Even if a termination is justified, "a<br />
man shouldn't have .to reject his call,"<br />
says Bill Hancock, pastor <strong>of</strong> Louisville's<br />
I'Highview Church which <strong>of</strong>fers a.ministry<br />
to ministers that restores them to a place<br />
<strong>of</strong> service.<br />
Provides Compensation<br />
Caidwell-Lyon Association is the only<br />
known association in the Southern <strong>Baptist</strong><br />
<strong>Convention</strong> that provides unemployment<br />
compensation for terminated pastors.<br />
Others, says Hancock, including<br />
pastors in his association, "have that<br />
support cut out .from under them immediately<br />
and they're out on the street<br />
begging. •<br />
- "These guys are embarassed to go to<br />
another pastor to ask for help,. and I<br />
don't think they ought to have to go<br />
begging. When people are hungry and<br />
people are hurting they need help."<br />
Highview <strong>of</strong>fers part-time ministry positions<br />
with appropriate salary, additional<br />
financial and housing help if-necessary,<br />
and exposure to ministry opportunities.<br />
Hancock also counsels pastors going<br />
through the "grief and readjustment" period<br />
and helps them re-evaluate vocational<br />
responsibilities and abilities.<br />
Sam Smith is one <strong>of</strong> more than a dozen<br />
men who have received financial, spiritual<br />
and career assistance in the 10 years <strong>of</strong><br />
Highview's program.<br />
APRIL <strong>29</strong>, <strong>1982</strong> '<br />
Smith is pastor <strong>of</strong> Stevens Memorial hear thfcfr prospects preach at Highview<br />
Church, Newport News, Va., but less<br />
than a year ago, the Louisville native was<br />
asked to resign a hometown pastorate.<br />
"I was kind <strong>of</strong> numb because <strong>of</strong> what<br />
had occurred," Smith recalls. "We went<br />
to Highview looking for spiritual support.<br />
-I Wasn't looking for a staff position at<br />
all." "But when Smith told Hancock why<br />
he was moving his membership, Hancock<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered a place <strong>of</strong> service.-<br />
Smith began work immediately. He<br />
taught nursing home Bible studies, made<br />
hospital visits and church contacts and<br />
.participated in other outreach ministries<br />
for nine months.<br />
For part-time work as a special minister,<br />
Highview pays about $300 a month,<br />
depending on need. The churches food<br />
closet is open to their families and the<br />
family <strong>of</strong> one minister who lost his pastorate<br />
lives rent free in the house the<br />
church owns for furloughing missionaries.<br />
Gives $15,000 in Support<br />
Hancock estimates Highview spends<br />
more than $15,000 annually to support<br />
these ministers.<br />
"I am convinced I would have left the<br />
ministry without the .help from Highview,"<br />
Smith says, "not because* I threw<br />
up my hands and rejected it, but because<br />
I didn't have the contacts." Hancock connected<br />
Smith with several churches, one<br />
<strong>of</strong> which called him as pastor.<br />
Hancock creates interview opportunities<br />
by contacting associational missionaries<br />
and pulpit" committees about the<br />
available ministers. Pulpit committees can the hospital." (BP)<br />
on Wednesday or Sunday nights.<br />
A. B. Colvin, director <strong>of</strong> direct missions,<br />
for Kentucky <strong>Baptist</strong>s, is the state<br />
contact for pastors searching for new<br />
churches. He has about 35 pastors' names<br />
for each Kentucky church without a pastor.<br />
. .<br />
That statistic is particularly enlightening<br />
in view <strong>of</strong> recent national stories relating<br />
an increase in the number <strong>of</strong><br />
Southern <strong>Baptist</strong> pastors being terminated.<br />
"Churches don't want you if you've<br />
been fired," says Colvin. "If you've been<br />
terminated, you are immediately stigmatized."<br />
Highview's help is not contingent on<br />
the circumstances <strong>of</strong> termination, but<br />
the church does limit the length <strong>of</strong> stay.<br />
Limits are necessary, Hancock-says, "to<br />
give them the motivation to get out and<br />
find another job in secular work. If the<br />
Lord does not provide them a place in a<br />
church within a reasonable amount <strong>of</strong><br />
time then they've got to be practical.<br />
They've got to earn."<br />
Referring to a man Highview helped<br />
indirectly, Hancock said, "If he deserved<br />
to be terminated, he didn't deserve the<br />
treatment he got. As far as I'm concerned<br />
we are unchristian in our treatment<br />
<strong>of</strong>^ur Christian brothers."<br />
Hancock and Highview continue to<br />
play the good Samaritan who asks no<br />
questions and assumes no lifetime responsibility,<br />
but, Hancock says, "I'm going to<br />
help him until he's able to get out <strong>of</strong><br />

Buck Revel, (the number three man in<br />
the FBI's Washington headquarters and<br />
formerly head <strong>of</strong> thej FBI in <strong>Oklahoma</strong><br />
City, shocked j the - Downtown Kiwanis<br />
CJub when he; recently told them that<br />
crime has become so rampant in America<br />
that every person who lives a normal lifetime<br />
can be assured <strong>of</strong> one day being a<br />
victim. • >•<br />
.During the >1970's, he said crime increased<br />
60 percent, and it has-increased :<br />
11 per cent during each <strong>of</strong> the past two<br />
years. Revel jsaid that 36,000 serious<br />
crimes, including 73 murders, occurred in<br />
<strong>Oklahoma</strong> City during 1980. "The streets<br />
belong to the hoodlums," he said. "If we<br />
don't do a better job we are on the verge<br />
<strong>of</strong> losing certain areas <strong>of</strong> our country to<br />
the criminal element."<br />
He rejected the idea that: rising crime<br />
can be attributed to the number <strong>of</strong> deprived<br />
individuals in society. He said the<br />
blame could be more accurately placed<br />
with a breakdown in the moral fabric <strong>of</strong><br />
the nation and the decline, <strong>of</strong> the family<br />
as a guardian! morality.<br />
The director went/on to say that law<br />
enforcement as a protector has largely<br />
failed. We have not reduced crime and<br />
we have hardly impeded its progress.<br />
Our work is cut out for us. Either we<br />
win people to new life in Christ, or we<br />
lose American The only way to change<br />
the criminal j is to win the criminal to<br />
Jesus. God has a word for us: "Seek the<br />
Lord while he may be found; call upon<br />
him while hej is near. Let the wicked forsake<br />
his way!, and the unrighteous man<br />
his thoughts;! and let him return to the<br />
Lord, and he will have compassion on<br />
him; and to jour'God, for he will abundantly<br />
pardon. For my thoughts are not<br />
your thoughts, neither are your ways my<br />
ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens<br />
are higher than the eartJvso are my<br />
ways higher) than your ways, and my<br />
thoughts than your thoughts. For as the<br />

rain and snow come down from heaven<br />
and do not return there without watering<br />
the earth, and making it bear and sprout,<br />
and furnishing, seed to the sower and<br />
bread to the eater; so shall my word be<br />
which goes forth from my mouth; it<br />
, shall not return to me empty, without<br />
accomplishing what I desire, and without<br />
succeeding in the matter for which I sent<br />
it. For you will go out with joy, and be<br />
led forth with peace; the mountains and<br />
the hills will break forth into shouts and<br />
joy before you, and all the trees <strong>of</strong> the<br />
field will clap their hands. Instead <strong>of</strong> the<br />
torn bush, the cypress will come up; and<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> the nettle the myrtle will come<br />
up; and it will be a memorial to the Lord,<br />
for an everlasting sign which will not be<br />
cut<strong>of</strong>f (Isa. 55:6-13).<br />
I'm for building the prisons we need;<br />
however, I'd: rather spend money to build<br />
more churches---then we'll need fewer<br />
prisons.<br />

Other computer statistics -just made<br />
available are:<br />
Total church tithes and <strong>of</strong>ferings were<br />
$126.8 million dollars, up 17.8 percent<br />
over last year.<br />
Total mission gifts fwere up J8.8 percent<br />
over the previous year. Since Cooperative<br />
Program giving was up only 16,4<br />
percent and associational missions up<br />
only 13.6 percent, the designated mission<br />
gifts must have increased.<br />
Cooperative. Program gifts <strong>of</strong> $12.4<br />
million were 9.8 percent <strong>of</strong> total tithes<br />
and <strong>of</strong>ferings compared to the SBC average<br />
<strong>of</strong> 8.9 percent.<br />
Associational missions giving was a<br />
little over $3 million—2.4 percent <strong>of</strong> total<br />
tithes and <strong>of</strong>ferings. ~<br />
The above statistics do not give a true<br />
picture <strong>of</strong> mission commitment. The item<br />
"Total Tithes and Offerings" includes,<br />
mission <strong>of</strong>ferings, building fund, revivals<br />
and other designated .gifts. The above<br />
Cooperative Program and associational<br />
missions percentages are calculated on<br />
'total tithes and <strong>of</strong>ferings. However, they<br />
are generally given from the church<br />
budget (undesignated) receipts only, therefore,<br />
the actual percentages will be<br />
higher.<br />
Caddo Association churches led in<br />
gifts through the Cooperative Program^<br />
"^ith 17.7 percent. It is interesting to note<br />
that 24 <strong>of</strong> the 27 churches in Caddo<br />
Association gave weekly through the<br />
Cooperative Program. Pastors have said<br />
all along, i"Our church gives more when<br />
we give weekly."<br />

Gifts Top $3 Million for Quarter<br />
By Lyle Gar low, Associate Executive Director<br />
First quarter, <strong>1982</strong> Cooperative Program receipts are<br />
22.5 percent above last year. More than one million dollars<br />
was shared each month by the 1,517 cooperating churches<br />
and missions, bringing the total to $3,675,248.24. This is,<br />
truly a cause for rejoicing. . /.<br />
God is blessing <strong>Oklahoma</strong> in many ways. <strong>Oklahoma</strong><br />
<strong>Baptist</strong>s must continue to remember Luke 12:48, "For unto<br />
whomsoever much is given, <strong>of</strong> him shall be much required."<br />
Increases in individual giving, church sharing and convention<br />
sharing is necessary as we move toward 1985 and the 50-50<br />
division <strong>of</strong> the Cooperative Program dollar.<br />
This quarter, 45 percent, totaling $1,653,861.71 was<br />
forwarded to SBC mission ministries. Your church Is. a part<br />
<strong>of</strong> bold sharing.<br />
