THESE ARE PERILOUS TIMES!
CHRISTIANS MUST BE VIGILANT
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner; But be thou partaker of the afflictions of
the gospel according to the power of God.
2 TIMOTHY 1:8

Dear friend of the BFT,
TEACHING IN NEW YORK AND INDIANA
Although I did not intend to
write another BFT UPDATE so soon, I feel that I must. WHY? Because
we have gone so many places and done so many things during the months of
APRIL & MAY that I would have to write a book as big as WAR & PEACE
if I wait another month to tell you all that DR. WAITE & I have been doing
since last I wrote. How is that for a long sentence? Since visiting with
you last, we have been in HORSEHEADS, NEW YORK, with PASTOR RADUCZ, as
well as in THE KING JAMES SEMINAR #9 at FAIRHAVEN BAPTIST COLLEGE,
Chesterton, Indiana, with PASTOR ROGER VOEGTLIN & staff.
WORLD WAR II’S MEMORIAL BRINGS EMOTIONS
As I AM WRITING TO YOU DURING THIS MEMORIAL DAY SEASON (May 29, 2004),
I AM LISTENING TO C-SPAN AND ITS COVERAGE OF THE DEDICATION OF THE WORLD
WAR II MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON D.C. Some are calling it "a place of
meditation." Tom Brokaw is speaking. The monument is a magnificent tribute
to the men of my generation who left home and family to fight for the
freedom of the United States of America and the world. Over 50,000,000
human beings perished. They died in homes, on battlefields, in oceans, and
in prison camps. The USA sacrificed over 400,000 brave sons & daughters.
They died so you and I (among other things) would be "free" to worship God
according to our religious convictions. Those heart beliefs, back in 1945,
came to you and me from the Words of God--mostly the King James Bible. You
and I have religious freedom because America cared! Even though I did not
fight with guns ablaze, that war was "my" war. I was in high school. I
remember food stamps and sugar & gas rationing. I met with other girls and
women to wrap bandages for the wounded. We had air raid practice and
pulled our shades at night. It was from my Ohio high school rooms that our
boys left us. Our classmates put down their books and basketballs to wear
military garb and shoot guns. The price of freedom cannot be measured in
money or in words. It is measured in emotions--the emotions of mothers,
fathers, husbands, wives, fatherless children, and wounds. How can I not
shed tears as I think of those years?
REMEMBERING OTHER HEROES
As we learned today about our men of World War II, and as we heard of
their goodness and decency, as well as their human fears, we discovered
that the troop entertainer, BOB HOPE, would have been 101 today. Then,
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY, if he had lived, would have been 87 today also.
Read in the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER since writing this to you, that
POET WALT WHITMAN, whose tomb is a stone’s throw from us here in
Collingswood, was born on May 31,1819. He was a nurse in the Civil War. Of
course, I personally remember my sister, AUDREY JUNE SANBORN, who was not
in any shooting battle, but at the age of twenty fought another war--a
cancer war with Hodgkin’s Disease. She lost. My husband fought that same
MEDICAL war decades later. He survived. God was good--but isn’t He always?
Audrey would have been 72 on May 31st; but they don’t have birthdays in
Heaven, do they? How I miss her--I miss that kinship which sisters have as
adults. I never had that. If you do, appreciate it!
GOD’S CORNER WHERE YOU ARE
NOW TO GET BACK TO THE BIBLE FOR
TODAY BUSINESS which we choose to think of as GOD’S BUSINESS in this
corner of the world. 900 PARK AVENUE & DILL is OUR "corner" ! Have you
ever been here to see us? WHAT IS THE CORNER OF YOUR WORLD?
All THIS TALK ABOUT OUR "CORNER" OF THE WORLD, REMINDS ME OF A SONG I
USED TO SING IN MY CHILDHOOD. Remember INA DULEY OGDON’S words?
BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE
Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.
Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear,
Let not narrow self your way debar,
Tho’ into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer,
Brighten the corner where you are.
Here for all your talent you may surely find a need,
Here reflect the Bright and Morning Star,
Even from your humble hand the bread of life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.
CHORUS
Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar,
BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE.
KJB SEMINAR #9
AT FAIRHAVEN BAPTIST COLLEGE CHESTERTON, INDIANA
It was the third time that Dr. Waite had spoken
concerning the defense of the King James Bible and its underlying texts at
FAIRHAVEN and his second KJB Seminar there (BFT #3186/1-14 @ $42.00+$5.00
S&H).
This time he was not one of the
speakers at the Annual Bible /Conference. He came after the Conference to
teach at the KJB Seminar #9. This time his class met (MAY 3-6, 2004)
during regular college hours. There were fifteen students in attendance.
They were mostly students from the college, plus a man from FAIRHAVEN
BAPTIST CHURCH, and a BFT friend from Northern Ireland. The Irish
man learned about the seminar from our BFT WEB PAGE
(www.biblefortoday.org) and E-MAIL. The seminar is an
intensive course! My husband taught four days, seven hours a day. THE
COLLEGE VIDEOTAPED THE TEACHING. WHEN IT IS READY, WE WILL TELL YOU HOW
YOU MAY ORDER. The videotaping was a student project. They plan to merge
the shots of Dr. Waite and his power point charts. I wonder how it will
turn out! I sat in on a couple classes and can testify that it was a good
class. The students meant business--and so did the teacher. They were
taking it for two semester hours of college credit!
TWO YEARS AGO, DR. WAITE WAS INVITED TO
GIVE A KJB SEMINAR AT FAIRHAVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME.
That class was immediately after
the Bible Conference. All classes were dismissed in 2000. For that reason,
many of the faculty were able to attend.
It seemed to me, --if my memory
serves me--that there were about 35 or more students in that class. Many
have ordered that teaching video (BFT #3069/1-13 @ $39.00+$5.00 S&H).
DOUBT CAST AGAINST THE WORDS OF GOD
PASTOR ROGER VOEGTLIN & his staff
appreciate my husband’s teachings on the VERSION QUESTION.
I heard Dr. Voegtlin say this
year from the pulpit, at the Thursday church prayer meeting, how he had
been absolutely bewildered by the DOUBT that was put into his mind
when he was a young Christian and a student at BOB JONES UNIVERSITY.
THE DOUBT WAS WHAT WAS AND WHAT
WASN’T THE WORDS OF GOD.
The DOUBT was so great in his mind that he was filled with questions. It
was then that he began to study the subject of Bible inspiration &
preservation himself. At first, he read books by the more rabid-writers.
He did not want to put himself in their camp!
Then--according to his testimony--he found
Dr. D. A. WAITE’s book DEFENDING THE KING JAMES BIBLE (BFT #1594-P
@ $12.00 + $4.00 S&H).
Finally, Dr. Voegtlin had found
a King James Bible position that was sensible, sound, and Scriptural. I
don’t know how many years ago that was, but my husband’s book was first
published in late 1992. It is now in its 9th printing.
BY INVITATION ONLY
One thing I appreciate during the
seminars is there is much extra time for questions and answers.
That is when the students can see how much my husband knows about the
subject. You’d
appreciate such teaching, too, in your church or Bible college.
AS AN ASIDE: my husband does not invite
himself to places to speak. He waits to be invited.
He charges no fee--only asks
that you pay his expenses and take a freewill offering. I know preachers
who say, "I’ll be in your area; could I speak to your people?" I
know men who do this. I suppose there is nothing really wrong with it; but
I can’t picture the Apostle Paul going up to a stranger and asking that
stranger if he (Paul) could speak in that person’s church. Then, there are
preachers and college officials who say, "When you are in the area,
we’d like you to speak to us, Dr. Waite." My wonderment is WHY would
Dr. Waite be in an area if he had no reason to be there? If you want him
to speak to your group, invite him!
ANSWERS & REASONS MUST BE OURS
With recently published books like
BIBLE PRESERVATION AND THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD by Sam Schnaiter & Ron
Tagliapietra of Bob Jones University’s faculty, as well as GOD’S WORD
IN OUR HANDS written by a compilation of various writers (most of whom
are connected with BJU), those of us who are convinced that the Words of
the Textus Receptus and Masoretic Hebrew underlying the King James Bible
are the Preserved Words of the original languages must have our reasons
bolstered with proper teaching.
The authors of those books try
as hard as they can to destroy those who believe in the Preservation of
God’s Words.
DR. WAITE ANSWERS CRITICS ON RADIO
My husband is answering these
author/critics in his daily and weekly radio programs which you can hear
on WOEL at 89.9 FM. That station airs in the Maryland/Delaware/
Pennsylvania/New Jersey areas.
But, if you are not in that
radio reception area, you can hear it at
www.MBCMIN.org/WOEL
as the station has streaming around the world. We appreciate PASTOR
ALLEN DICKERSON’s RADIO OUTREACH, DON’T YOU? He is celebrating fifty
years of preaching there in his church in Elkton, Maryland this month.
Dr. Waite’s Saturday program is 30 minutes in length and is aired at
3:00-3:30 p.m. Now, I realize that all of you can’t get on the
Internet--and even if you could, you may not be able to tune in at a
particular time. So I think you
would be very interested in subscribing to Dr. Waite’s thirty-minute radio
program called THE BIBLE FOR TODAY WEEKLY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
ASK TO BE A REGULAR MONTHLY SUBSCRIBER AND SEND US $5.00 A MONTH
FOR FOUR PROGRAMS.
Call the office for further instructions: 1-800-JOHN 10:9.

WATCH FOR DETAILS
ORDER "DBS NEWS" FOR ANSWERS TODAY
EVENTUALLY, DR. WAITE HOPES TO
WRITE ABOUT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED BOOKS AFTER HE TALKS ABOUT THEM ON THE
RADIO. Some of the
authors of those books mention or quote my husband by name or they infer
things about him, refuting his statements at times. It shows me that
DR. WAITE & THE DEAN BURGON SOCIETY is making an inroad into this Bible
version controversy. Now, if you want a recent article on the
subject, send $2.00 to us and we’ll send you the latest
DEAN BURGON SOCIETY NEWS. In the most recent issue, DR. THOMAS M.
STROUSE, the Dean of Emmanuel Baptist Theological Seminary (Newington,
CT), has given a CRITIQUE of Bible Preservation and the Providence of
God book.
There are some other excellent articles in that paper. DR.
GARY E. LAMORE has written about ERASMUS of Rotterdam, A Good Son
of the Roman Catholic Church?? H. D. WILLIAMS, M.D., has an
apologetic section on The Mechanisms for the Preservation of the Words
of God. DR. CLINTON BRANINE of Heritage Baptist University
wrote The Date Problem and the Text, and JEBIDIAH PORTER
wrote about the Theological Significance in the Text Variance in
Acts 9:31. I personally think you should subscribe to this paper. Dr.
Williams is the assistant editor and Dr. Waite, my husband, is the general
editor. It is only $5.00 a year and $10.00 in Canada. I don’t know
what it is in foreign countries.

MORE ABOUT OUR WEEK AT FAIRHAVEN
FLEW INTO CHICAGO’S MIDWAY AIRPORT
Because it is cheaper to fly on
weekends, the college arranged for us to be in Chesterton, Indiana, for
the week-end prior to the KJB SEMINAR.
DAN AMACOST, the Greek &
Hebrew teacher and Registrar at Fairhaven Baptist College, was in charge
of us while there. He ticketed us on ATM airlines. The flight went
directly to MIDWAY airport on the other side of CHICAGO. (I used to live
in Chicago when at Bible School fifty-nine years ago. I can’t believe it!
Seems like I was another person--but, I guess, I am another person. I
certainly hope that the Lord has worked in my life to conform me more to
the image of His dear Son. Only He knows.) EVANGELIST RODNEY STEWART
and his daughter, CHRISTA, met us at the airport.
CHRISTA IS SIX YEARS OLD AND CHARMING.
I am so glad that the
Lord brought her into my life. Every time I saw her, while at FAIRHAVEN
BAPTIST CHURCH & COLLEGE, she came over and hugged me or smiled her
beautiful smile. All we adults want from young people is a caring heart
and a truthful tongue.
Some folk only care about themselves and fail
to reach out to other persons. I have lost track of the times I’ve been in
a church and no one speaks to me. Even preacher’s and speaker’s wives are
rude this way. Selfishness abounds, doesn’t it?--not only with the little
ones. Even with adults, it seems to be, "Me, Me, Me."
PRAYER MEETING ON THURSDAY NIGHT
DR. WAITE’S SYNOPSIS OF "KJB SEMINAR #9" AVAILABLE
My husband gave a summary of his
week of teaching on Thursday night to the whole church. His talk was
called KJB SEMINAR #9--40-Minute SYNOPSIS! It was an excellent
presentation. I was proud of him. Ask for the audio tape, (BFT #3189 @
$4.00 + $1.00 S&H) and learn.
Fairhaven Baptist Church has its mid-week service on Thursdays. The church has a huge
auditorium and it looked well-full for the middle of the week. Of course,
not as full as the Sunday morning and the evening services. The Sunday we
were there, the BUS MINISTRY outdid itself with almost 2,000 BUS RIDERS in
attendance. There was a special visitation push on Saturday by the bus
captains and their crews. All that work really paid off! The goal of the
bus captains is to invite and bring people from surrounding areas so that
when they get saved, the families will want to come to church on their
own.
Getting back to PRAYER
MEETING--it is encouraging to see so many folk caring & praying in the
mid-week service. I
remember talking with a woman several years ago, who was a teacher in a
growing church where I attended. I assumed she went to prayer meeting for
she was a teacher in the Sunday School there. But no! She said, "I have
other priorities!" I was very
surprised. She was inviting me to be a special speaker for her children’s
group--yet, she didn’t care enough for the church (or the Lord) to be in
prayer meeting with the people to pray for those to whom she ministered.
ARE YOU ONE OF
THOSE ABSENT ONES IN YOUR CHURCH?
BFT BAPTIST CHURCH MEETS ON
THURSDAYS AT 8:00 P.M.
900 PARK AVE., COLLINGSWOOD, NJ 08108
We in our BIBLE FOR TODAY BAPTIST
CHURCH, here in our home on 900 Park Avenue, have our mid-week service on
Thursdays also. WE PRAY, PRAISE & LEARN. Right now we are in the book
of Jeremiah.
We have these discussions on audio, video, the
Internet, or you can view us live on "streaming"!! bftbc.org/media_server.htm, 8:00 to 9:15 p.m.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR "BFTBC.ORG" STREAMING
Go to
www.biblefortoday.org, and scroll down on the page about
three inches, to the ORANGE bar that says "LISTEN TO THE MESSAGES
LIVE AND ON DEMAND." Then, click "LIVE FEED." You can see us
live on Thursday nights and participate, too. WE ARE LIVE
FOR OUR MORNING SERVICE (10:00--11:30 A.M., as well as our Bible
discussion in Acts, Sundays at 1:30--2:30 P.M. also) THE
REST OF THE DAYS WE HAVE TWENTY-FOUR HOUR STREAMING OF BIBLE
TEACHING FROM OUR CHURCH, taking 2 chapters, verse by verse each
day from Romans through Revelation. JOIN US!
When I was a child in Lagrange,
Ohio, we had prayer meeting on Thursday evenings, too. In those days,
church always began at 8:00 P.M. or 7:30 P.M.--even on Sunday nights.
But today with special TV programs and sports events, people have to be
home for them. Those were the days when mothers and wives didn’t work
outside the home and the farmers had to milk their cows before coming to
church. World War II changed all of that, didn’t it? BUT, we can’t blame
all of our indifference to prayer meeting on that event.
When we started our BIBLE FOR
TODAY BAPTIST CHURCH, we continued the Thursday night-time spot.
You see, we have had a Bible study in our home for over twenty-five
years on Thursday nights. How many people have walked into our house
during these years! WE SEEM TO BE LIKE A "WAY STATION." In times of
"need," people with "needs" walk in our door. We serve them in the name of
the Lord. They stay awhile. They leave us . We seldom hear from them
again. We love them. Some continue to love us. Some hate us. Some have
gone on to be "with the Lord." This has been a part of
THE BIBLE FOR TODAY
ministry here on the corner of
Park and Dill Avenues in Collingswood for thirty-nine years. A DELIGHTFUL REST FOR ME
Before I tell you about NEW YORK STATE,
and our visit there, I must mention the beautiful guest room in the
FAIRHAVEN BAPTIST COLLEGE girls’ dorm!
Every morning, RA (a
Cambodian friend and intern at the church) dropped our breakfast off at
our door. What service! My husband left for class every morning. I was
alone. I had nothing to do, while my husband was teaching, but to rest,
read, write, and pray. It was one of the best "rests" I can remember for a
long time. No TV! No ringing telephones! No delivery trucks! No workers
and office rooms! At meal time, I would walk from the girls’ dorm, by way
of the beautifully landscaped campus, for the school lunchroom. Each
night, we were escorted to local restaurants for food and fellowship with
special people.
Every time I passed the large
fish tank of exotic fish, I would chat with my wet "friend" in the water
tank. I know the
women who passed me talking to the fish must have thought I was a little
"off." Maybe I was, but I am sure that when I tapped on the glass
and spoke to one of the fish, he would come to my tapping finger and look
at me as I said over and over again, "Hello, hello, hello!" Whether
it be true or not, I thought so. It kept me busy anyhow. Before I left for
the airplane, I called "my" fish over to me and took his picture. He came.
I snapped the shutter! I wonder if he misses me. He is blue with an orange
eye. Do you want to see his picture?
THE WAITES AT HORSEHEADS, NEW YORK
BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH "APRIL KJB BIBLE CONFERENCE"
MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUET & PREACHERS’
WIVES TALKS WITH PASTOR & MRS. ALEX RADUCZ
I can’t tell you when I enjoyed
being at church more than BIBLE BAPTIST IN HORSEHEADS, NY (Rt. 14 at
Wygant Rd. ZIP: 14845 [PHONE: 607-739-4535].) We flew there--a short
flight. It only took one hour on a prop- jet to get to nearby Elmira, NY,
but going home only thirty minutes on a new jet to Philadelphia. That was
a plus! NO TRAFFIC TO MAKE ME NERVOUS. (Ever since that car bumped into
the passenger side, where I was sitting, as we were driving to Joe S.’s
graduation, I’ve been nervous in traffic.) I really enjoyed the people in
that church. My husband said that I liked the people there because they
liked me. Maybe that is true. I spoke twice --once to about seventy women
at the mother/daughter banquet and once to about ten women called "the
pastors’ wives," even though all of them weren’t.
MORE DEFENSE OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE TEXTS
My husband spoke eight times at
Pastor Raducz request from Saturday to Monday evening. His theme was
DEFENDING THE KING JAMES BIBLE. He spoke to the church on Saturday night. Then, on Sunday, he spoke in
the Sunday School’s QUESTION & ANSWERS (BFT #3183/1 @ $4.00 + $1.00
S&H), the morning & afternoon services (BFT #3183/1-3 @ $9.00 +
$2.00 S&H). The church was packed. Maybe there were 300 there. I can’t
recall if it were 200 or 300 OR 250 (so much has happened since early
April.) All I know was their beautiful white pews were filled with happy,
INTERESTED faces.
NO ONE EVER CARED FOR ME LIKE JESUS
The singing was excellent. The two
Raducz sisters played the pianos.
They do not read music, but they certainly can run their fingers over the
keys. Pastor asked me to sing so I sang one that daughter Jennifer knew,
"I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus." At first I didn’
t think I could find my note with her introduction on some modern-type
keyboard. "Oh, no!" I thought, "not one of these singing off-key
songs again!" BUT PRAISE THE LORD, I found the note and sang, "NO
ONE EVER CARED FOR ME LIKE JESUS!" How very true. So often people are
fickle and changeable. One day they say how much I mean to them and the
next day, they are tearing me up in little pieces to their friends--BUT
NOT JESUS!
A POT LUCK DINNER BETWEEN
SERVICES
AFTER THE MORNING SERVICE AT BIBLE
BAPTIST, IT IS THE CUSTOM OF THE CHURCH TO HAVE A BIG POT LUCK DINNER.
There was so much food! Some of it was left over
from the previous day and the MOTHER/DAUGHTER BANQUET. We here at BIBLE
FOR TODAY BAPTIST CHURCH eat lunch between our morning and afternoon
service also. ONLY, WE GO TO WENDY’S. I think it is a good idea myself. We
first observed this at Chinese churches where my husband had ministered.
They would have Chinese food brought in from some restaurant or food
cooked in their own kitchens (depending on the church). Then everyone
would buy the food and eat it in the church building. After fellowship,
they would have their Bible classes in various parts of the church. It
was so there in HORSEHEADS. The
Sunday we were present, Dr. Waite spoke to the bulk of the people in the
main auditorium on the King James Bible issues (BFT
#3183/1-3 @ $9.00 + $2.00 S&H). You must hear
these messages!
THE PASTOR’S MEETING ALL DAY MONDAY
On Monday, there was a New York
pastor’s meeting. There was interest in the KING JAMES BIBLE issues among
the pastors and lay people who attended.
These men certainly devoured the book table. As I’ve told you before,
we are always happy for that. Of course, we like the proceeds--even though
the prices are very reduced; but mostly we enjoy seeing the INTEREST in
the subject of the Fundamentalists’ Errors on Bible Preservation
(BFT #3182/1-2 @ $6.00 + $2.00 S&H). Several people purchased
DEFINED KING JAMES BIBLES. By
the way, we have a new supply 5,000 DKJB/ MEDIUM LEATHER (BFT #3000M @ $35
+ $5.00 S&H), as well as DKJB HARDBACKS (BFT #3000MHB @ $15.00 + $5.00
S&H).
Some churches show absolutely no
interest in the book table. This means they have little to no interest in
the subject. By the way, neither my husband nor I keep any of the book
table money. That goes, too, for the speaker’s honorarium. But we do need
funds for our ministry. We have books and other publications to pay for
and three on the staff who need weekly salaries.
So feel free to help us financially
any time the Lord leads you to do so on a regular monthly basis. THANK
YOU.
AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO PASTOR’S WIVES
I spoke to the pastor’s wives and
other women downstairs during one of the men’s sessions. I called my talk,
ENCOURAGEMENT TO PASTOR’S WIVES (BFT #3188 @ $4.00 + $1.00 S&H). This tape isn’t the best of quality
because of the recording conditions, but you can hear it.
Some church women put their Pastor’s wife on a pedestal and then knock her
off with their tongues. They are surprised when we are just as human as
they are. Pastor’s wives bleed like other women. They hurt, too.
Often they have problems and
heartaches that the church people know nothing about--and sadder still,
care nothing about. One of the biggest conflicts
against the preacher’s wife is the "cattiness" of the women in the
congregation. It is a shame! But that is how it is!
PASTOR’S WIVES ARE DIVORCING
I also spoke of two former pastors’
wives, whom I know, who have divorced their husbands.
That selfish act made it impossible for their husbands to be
preachers. Sometimes women are too selfish. Sometimes young pastors (and
older ones, too) do not know how to be husbands and are selfish. The
selfish, hurting pastor’s wife cannot wait for him to learn how to be a
good husband and father . She leaves! There can be so much conflict in the
parsonage. That’s why I wonder if the term ELDER means "elder" for older.
There is so much to learn in marriage!
Men jump into the pulpit before they learn the ABC’s of
husbanding. Also, the way some congregations treat their pastors makes the
wives want to run away from it all. Congregations have much to answer to
for the ill treatment of the men they have called into their churches to
pastor them. No one is perfect--except you and me, of course. (Ha!)
ADVERSITIES MAKE US WHO WE ARE
The main reason I was in HORSEHEADS
was at the invitation of MRS. RADUCZ to
speak at the Mother/Daughter Banquet. I looked
forward to this occasion but wondered what I would say. I’ve been talking
about SARAH, Abraham’s wife, on my radio program. Because it was fresh in
my mind, I wanted to talk about her and the people around her that
influenced her life. Much to my
surprise, I began to speak of adversities that make us who we are.
I told about my mother and the
adversities in her life. Each of her children
had a handicap. One of them was my retarded sister who was born
birth-injured because of a doctor’s blunder. In fact, the doctor was off
drinking as mother agonized in labor with Beverly. (I guess he was another
one of those who thought he could handle his drinking.) Then, my sister,
Audrey, died of Hodgkin’s disease at twenty. It was a horrible illness
with no hope! I, at the age of three, went to Rainbow Hospital for
Crippled Children in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I stayed in a hospital bed
for three years. I won’t go into the whole thing but a particular surgery
was performed on my left hip that never was done on a human being before
(if I understand it correctly.) Praise the Lord it worked and I can
walk and bore five children normally. I had no intention of going on and
on in my devotional about such adversity; but immediately prior to
my talk, the Raducz sisters sang about a little boy who was buying a pair
of shoes for his poor, dying mother. He wanted her to look good when she
met Jesus. The song touched my heart, as well as all of those in the
auditorium. Eventually, I talked about Sarah who was not a stranger to
adversity
either. Maybe you would like to hear
the audio tape of that Mother/Daughter devotional. If so ask for BFT #3184
@ $4.00 + $1.00 S&H.

FROM THE WEST: You hit the nail on the head, Sister Yvonne,
This is exactly what happened to me from some "sisters" whom I
thought loved me in CHRIST! ( a comment on "Why Do Seasoned
Pastors Retire" in Apr/May/June 2004 BFT UPDATE:"they’ll
turn on his wife and grind her into mince meat.")
FROM WASHINGTON: Thank you for your great message. What a
blessing! This message has given us Biblical confirmation about
separation & encouraged us to stand firm on separation.
