“Missing Heaven by 18 Inches” is this week's meditation. Does this startle you? How can anyone get so close and yet in the end hear the Lord say, “I never knew you: depart from me”? However, this will be the terrible result of many in our churches today who are professing Christians, often with responsible positions, but who have had only a head acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ. Tragically enough, even teachers, preachers and religious workers are not exempt from the possibility of this chilling indictment. The distance between the head and the heart is 18 inches. Unfortunately, a head knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, fully knowing and giving mental assent to the plan of salvation, without also a heart acceptance that brings the personal relationship that the Bible demands, avails nothing to any man. Listen to St. Paul’s heart cry concerning Israel as he spoke under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” He was speaking about misdirected efforts, energies expended in the strength of the flesh, but not under the direction of the Holy Spirit. The lack of power today in many of our' churches as well as the lack of power today in the lives of many professing Christians can be laid directly to this. - It is only as we see ourselves in the mirror of God's Word as without excuse and without hope, utterly lost and undone, that the truth of the Scriptures convicts us, for the Bible clearly reveals that this how God sees man. Then, when the glorious Truth of the Gospel brings us to a recognition of our own sinfulness, and in true repentance we cry out to God asking forgiveness and help, asking Him to come into our hearts, not our heads, we experience the New Birth. *•* Mrs. Leo Sneed of South Calvary Baptist Church is speaker Sunday at 3:30 p.m. for Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church’s Women’s Day...

Muslims' new leadership

CHICAGOThe 17-member Council of Regional Representatives, which has replaced Wallace D. Muhammad as head of the World Community of Al-Islam in the West (WCIW) will be headed by Sheik James Abdul Shabbazz, who will act as convenor of the council, it has been learned. Sheik Shabazz, a close aide to Muhammad, is one of the eldest-ranking members of the Council, and was formerly an administrative aide to the late Elijah Muhammad. Members of the WCIW elected Shabazz as convenor of the Council at a special meeting held recently in Atlanta. At that meeting. Muhammad the 44-year-old son of the late Muslim leaders, resigned from the leadership post to devote more time to evangelical endeavors and comparative studies of the Holy Quran and Bible. According to top-ranking Muslim sources, Muhammad’s resignation had been in the making for some two years. In 1977, a week before the annual late February Muslim convention in Chicago, Muhammad had resigned from all administrative duties to place more emphasis on religious and moral leadership. Muhammad explained that his resignation from administrative duties would free him from petty concerns and permit him to function in his more important role as spiritual leader of WCIW. His latest resignation whitn came as a shock to the estimated two million members of the WCIW, severe him from all duties, placing the regional

council as the final arbiter fro all decisions. According to Iman Ibrahim Pahsa, one of the regional representatives who heads the Atlanta mosque, members of the WCIW council will be up for election each year. Although few details have been worked out on the internal functioning of the Council Pasha said he did not expect “a problem of adjustment for the membership.” Muhammad, whose reforms in the Black Muslim philosophy have ended a 45 year-old doctrinal schism with the Orthodox Muslim community, will act only as an ambassador for the WCIW under the new arrangement.
