DOWN HOME with CARL |
My series with Northwest Christian
Church in Tampa, Florida was an enjoyable experience. The
congregation is oriented toward “the charismatic movement”
and the premillennial concept, because of a great deal of teaching on
both themes, but it makes no test of fellowship out of these things.
Many of the members were formerly allied with the non-instrument
congregations, but have found a warmth and openness here which
reaches out to care for all kinds of people, regardless of background
and purely on the basis of need. It was good to have some of the
faculty and student body from Florida College attend the meetings …
The meeting at Belmont Avenue in Nashville was great. The place was
crowded to capacity the first night with people sitting all over the
platform and with chairs in all of the aisles. The saints there,
under a group of fine men as elders, are actually leading in the
renewal about which everyone else is talking. The daytime question
sessions were terrific and got to the heart of some of our hangups.
My greatest blessing was to share with a lot of the students from
David Lipscomb College. The future looks bright for Belmont if I am
any judge … I want to recommend that you send fifty cents to
Darrell Foltz, Box 562, Hoxie, Kansas 67740, and let him send you his
treatises on women praying in the assembly and divorce and
remarriage. You will miss something really good if you fail to take
advantage of this … Our brother, Owen L. Crouch, 4800 Franklin
Road, Nashville, Tennessee 37220, has recently finished his book “The
Prison Epistles — A Diagram of the Greek New Testament with
Notes.” It is $6.00. If you are a Greek student here’s
your chance! … You can get lists of cassettes of my talks all
over the United States and Canada by writing to Follow the Son, Box
K, Springboro, Ohio 45066; Vernon H. Woods, 2413 Dale Avenue, Eugene,
Oregon 97401; or T. N. Ratliff, 9729 Calumet Drive, Saint Louis,
Missouri 63137. Their lists are not duplicates, We suggest you
enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request …
