Dear Forum and Believers:
My wife and I are planning to leave in the next hour or two for Phenix City. We will be conducting
a Bible Conference and discussion Saturday 9:45 till after lunch. I need to as for you help and
prayer for this Conference. If it were a week or two from now, rather than tomorrow, I would cancel.
It has been one of my worst weeks in the last two years. Hospice and my medical doctor have both
insisted that I double my morphine which I have done. About last Sunday I started feeling pretty bad,
with accompanying severe pains. I cannot even raise my arms to comb my hair. I slept only a few
hours most of the week. One night not at all. My wife stayed up with me all night long, and she is
almost in as much pain as I am. I'm not asking for you to feel sorry for us (well, maybe a little), but really,
what we need is your prayers. I know that God hears us. You pray for us, and we'll pray for you.
I feel like what Paul described in I Thes. chapter two. He had a great desire to visit with the Church, but
confesses in Verse 18 that "Satan hindered us." Just pray for my wife and me, that we can get through
this ordeal and still be effective in bringing more people into the Truth. Most of the people coming, know
very little about the truths you and I share, but Timothy says that they are eager to learn--especially the
sovereignty of God, and the salvation of all. I copied and printed about 40 pages of notes (much from my
new paper on "HELL," which I will use to show that none of the major theological doctrines of the Church are
Scriptural: Heaven, Hell, Immortal soul, Tithing money, Parables, Saved from sin and death, Freewill, Prayer,
Judgment, etc.
I have noticed that my new paper on Hell is beginning to get circulated around the Internet. Many positive
comments and of course, a few negative comments from the Christians. There is a lot of material in this
paper. I hope that all of you will read it several times.
Well, I'm ready to pack the car and go. It's about a five-hour drive.
God be with you all, always--keep the faith!
