RESPONSE FROM READERS

 

Let me commend you on your article, “Saved by Grace-And Only By Grace,” for I agree wholeheartedly. I am not subscribing simply hoping to read what I already believe, but anticipate that future articles will stimulate my thinking . . . My views, which appear to be much like yours, have caused a rather “lonely” ministry here . . . California

I appreciate Restoration Review very much, and would like to reserve two copies of “Resources of Power.” The article on angels was particularly meaningful. I felt that God had sent help to me in just such a way, as I had unbelievable strength the weeks following my husband’s death. Then the question was asked—ministering angels or the Holy Spirit?—a West Virginia Lutheran

I feel that the church in . . . . . . . . is doing fine and is getting fairly converted from selfish legalism to freedom in Christ.—an elder in a Church of Christ

In studying the practice of the early church and the New Testament scriptures, I conclude that our Minister System is about the same as the Pastor System of the denominations. Our preachers are really the pastors in the churches, while the elders should be the pastors. We have created a special class of college trained men and made a distinction between the minister and the laymen. Is this not the same as the denominational distinction between clergy and laity?—Illinois

The Review is the only paper of the many I get that I sit down with and read every little morsel of truth. What a tasty dish!—West Virginia

(If he reads only the truth I am sure that many would say it should not take him very long! And maybe so.—Ed.)

 

The October issue promises to be exciting.
