READERS' EXCHANGE

 

May God bless your efforts and may we all come to understand the peace, wisdom, and love that lies within a Spirit-filled life of service. -- Phyllis Stanley, Campden, Ontario

Until I came across your journal in the (Christian college) library, I was discouraged over attitudes common in ‘”our brotherhood” against open-mindedness, Christian love, and scholarship. I admit that it was prideful of me to suppose that only I, with a few others, were able to see what Christianity is all about. I am happy to find that I was wrong. My wife and I want to subscribe to Restoration Review, and we wish you luck for the future. -- Name Withheld.

I am pleased to read about the Wycliffe translators and their stand on faith vs. baptism, as to which leads to salvation. I have long objected to programs which spend as much for lessons as they do for Bibles to send overseas. If, as they claim, we can all understand the Bible alike, there is no need for the lessons. If they believed what they say, they could spend every cent on Bibles and know that the harvest would be nothing but pure Church of Christ. They know better, hence the lessons. -- Adele Bowen, Farmington, N.M.

I have been reading you so long you feel like my father. You challenge my thinking. Living in Mormon country I really see the need for us to know what we believe and to live it out in our lives and to live in peace with one another. Even if we disagree, we are still to live in peace and unity. --John A. Robinson, Cedar City, Utah

Thank you for your recent message regarding tax reductions, deficit spending, and unnecessary government involvement in our lives. I promise to do my part at the state level. -- Bill Clements, Governor of Texas

I find your irenic spirit refreshing and your insight into the nature of the body of Christ to be Biblical. Keep up the good work! -- Dave Beard, Parkcrest Church of Christ, Long Beach, Ca.
