The Back Page Paul charged Timothy to "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry'....." (II Tim. 4:2-5) Titus was commanded to "...speak thou the things which become sound doctrine...." (Tit. 2:1). Though Timothy and Titus were young preachers, they were highly esteemed for their work, sacrifice, and patience. Into the life of preachers come sunshine and clouds: days of rejoicing and days for tears, days when one is glad he is a preacher and others when he wonders why he ever wanted to preach. It is when one has one of those cloudy days he wishes someone knew he is out there preaching his heart out in an effort to save the lost and edify the saved. StraitWay is our way of letting young men know that older people, especially older preachers, know they are there and appreciate their work. To add breadth to StraitWay, it was deemed wise to invite other men to help with the writing. In 1999, you read with appreciation the work of the following brethren: Randall Elrod, Norman Fultz, Ron Lloyd, Steve Walker, and Wendell Watts. I am thankful to each of them for the many hours spent in producing timely articles. May God richly bless these brethren in every righteous endeavor. This year you will be blessed by the writing of the following brethren: Bobby L. Graham of Athens, Alabama, writing about the evangelist and his work, Jarrod Jacobs of White Bluff, Tennessee, writing about prominent religious doctrines, Jason Malham of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, writing about conversion, Thomas Thornhill, SR of Buckhorn, Mississippi, writing about institutional issues, and Dan Wilson of Athens, Texas, writing about the AD 70 doctrine. Much gratitude is due to my good friend and brother in Christ, Jimmy Crews, for financing StraitWay and to brother Peter Scalise and his staff for printing and mailing. Brother Dan Henderson of Jasper, Texas, keeps the mailing list, prints the mailing labels, prepares StraitWay for printing, and has put StraitWay on the Henderson family internet site. Dan has done an excellent work. Thanks to each one. If you know of someone who would benefit from StraitWay, especially young preachers, send name and address to brother Dan Henderson whose information is at the bottom of this page. - Editor | Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4 | Page 5 | Page 6 | Page 7 | This web site is designed and maintained by Last Revised: Monday, January 03, 2000 |
