Dear Pastor and Friends:

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psa. 133:1). Here David exclaimed the blessing and benefit of brethren being united. Today, we often bemoan the sad curse of our disunity. Men seem to be more loyal to their “crowd” or an extra-biblical creed than they are to Christ! We have allowed walls to be built with the untempered mortar of carnality, critical spirits and cuttingly caustic slights that divide brother from brother and friend from friend. Would to God that a spirit of reconciliation would spread across our land like the wind blows the leaves in the fall, and bring revival.

I am consumed this month in revivals. Please pray that God would give us souls and that God’s people would be wholly restored to a right relationship with Him. I preached a two-week meeting in Tennessee and we enjoyed several nights of conviction and a real revival spirit. I am in West Virginia now. Please pray for the pastor and his wife (Don and Linda Dillon) as they were in a head-on collision two days before the meeting and she is still hospitalized. I will be in four-day meetings in Indiana and Maryland to close out the month.

Sandy and I thank you for your faithful encouragement to our home and ministry. Both of us have health issues we are dealing with and we covet your prayers for complete recovery. (I think my problems may be due to my advancing age – I don’t know about hers!) Our love and esteem is unwavering for all of you that have a part in helping us do God’s will. God bless you!

Yours faithfully,

Dear Pastor and Friends,

Thomas Chisholm wrote in 1945 the song, “I Want To Be Like Jesus”. The first stanza says:

I have one deep, sincere desire -
That I may be like Jesus.
To this I fervently aspire -
That I may be like Jesus.

What a glorious goal! To preach like He did in Matthew 23. Forgive the fallen like He did in John 8. To reach sinners like He did in John 3 and 4. To deal with wayward sinners like He did in John 21. And to live for others like He did always. May the good God of Heaven help us all to be more like Him daily.

God blessed abundantly in the two meetings this month. Both of the fine churches in which I preached revivals support our ministry monthly. It was wonderful to be with these dear, generous folks and real friends.

Thank you all for your faithful support of our home and ministry. As Sandy and I grow older… well, at least I do – I think she stopped aging some years ago- we are so much more appreciative of what God does for us through folks like you. God bless you is our earnest prayer.

I am “slammed” until Thanksgiving and praising God for keeping our itinerary as full as I possibly can handle. I really feel bad about having to refuse meetings due to conflicts in schedules. But I know God knows that I take the first confirmed date and don’t change unless it is a dire emergency. (There have only been a couple of those in the last thirty years, thank God.)

Your friend and His servant,
