Legacy Letter June 2011

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, The following is from the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . .’ The purpose of what is known as the Establishment Clause was to prevent government from establishing a state religion and to prevent the government from interfering with a citizen’s religious beliefs. Nowhere does it say that religion must be taken out of government. The purpose of the clause was not to take religion out of government, but to keep government out of religion.

21 February 2017, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, “TRIP TO BURMA” Gloria and I have returned from Myanmar (Burma) and have great things to report. First of all, I would like to relay that the Church of God is continuing to better organize in Burma. Burma has been a backwater for the Church of God for many years; indeed, it has been an adjunct to Australia and continues to be for some COG organizations. Part of the problem has been a lack of trained leadership for the fledgling churches that have sprung up over the years in many parts of Burma.

IN THIS LETTER: Baptism in Chiang Mai, Passover in Burma,
Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, It is always rewarding to baptize a repentant young person who has sincerely given their life to the eternal care of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On Sabbath, the 12th of January, our small congregation of the Church of God in Chiang Mai, shared in the joy of God our Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and all His angels as a young couple from Myitkyina, Kachinland, in northern Myanmar (Burma) were baptized in our newly repaired pond.

9 November 2015 -Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, While those who understand the annual holy days (the commanded assemblies of God) were keeping the Feast of Tabernacles, which pictures the 1000-year millennial rule of Jesus Christ on earth from His capital in Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:1-9, Revelation 20:1-4, Isaiah 9:6, Daniel 2:44-45), the best—some would say “worst”—attempt at this world’s solution for peace among nations was very busy forming their own counterfeit of that kingdom. This counterfeit kingdom of what the Bible calls the “Beast” was rapidly being set in motion without much media coverage. Other than the Pope’s speech calling for peace, the media said little.
