Response from Readers

I must tell you that things are truly looking up. There seems to be fresh air blowing through the musty chambers of “The Church of Christ” and a lot of people are looking over the fences that we have built between ourselves and other Christians.—Oregon

Certainly we who claim to be His children must pay a big price in that great day for our division and schism. How can we win the world to Christian unity when we don’t know, or knowing do not practice, it ourselves. Shame upon us! God’s plan is set as it has been before the creation. What you or I or anyone else believes about Christ’s return will not alter God’s plan. To me, simple though I may be, the only thing that really matters is that I am ready for that time. If I am in Christ when He returns He will take me. I don’t care whether its before or after the millennium. And I don’t care whether its back to earth for a thousand years, or straight into the New Jerusalem. Just so we are ready!—Iowa

I would like to take this brief moment to express my appreciation for you and your writings. I have not been a reader for very long, but I have grown to appreciate the thoughtfulness with which you discuss the various topics. You have truly stimulated my mind and I hope the results, both now and in the future, will be pleasing to the Lord. I especially appreciated “A World Turned Black” as after graduation I will begin working with Negro brethren...—Oklahoma

I continue to enjoy Restoration Review and find myself passing much of it along to the two classes I teach each week.—Tennessee

I was personally moved as I read your “A World Turned Black.” My wife, daughter and I have been part-time Negroes since last October. We are working with a new interracial congregation and in so doing are enjoying the work of the Kingdom to an extent not previously thought possible. Christianity must transcend every social, cultural, and racial barrier. I just wish that every Christian could experience the rich rewards that God has granted in response to our feeble efforts toward an unsegregated Christianity. These twenty million people upon whom the Restoration heritage has turned its back have so much that they can add to our own spiritual development.—Indiana
