Adolph Monod
"When I shall enter the invisible world, I do not expect to
find things different from what the word of God represented
them to me here. The voice I shall then hear will be the
same I now hear upon the earth, and I shall say, 'This is
indeed what God said to me; and how thankful I am that I did
not wait until I had seen in order to believe.'"

What Is Needed to Get to
Heaven? |
A man appeared at the Pearly Gates and started to go
through, but Michael the Archangel stopped him and said that
he needed one million reward points to get into heaven.
The man replied, "Well, I've been a minister for 40 years
and I had a big church and ran conferences and helped many
people with my sermons."
Michael looked in a small book and said slowly, "Being a
minister for 40 years, running conferences, helpful
sermons—that’s 5 points."
"Five points!" exclaimed the man. "Well, I've also been a
good husband and father and raised three children and took
good care of them and was always kind and loving to my wife
and children."
Checking the book again, Michael said, "Being a good husband
and father is good for 3 points."
"Three points!" said the man. "Well, in our church I started
a food program and ran it for 30 years and helped many,
many, poor people and others in need."
Looking in the book once more, Michael said, "Feeding and
helping needy people is worth 2 points.
Exasperated, the man loudly proclaimed, "And I faithfully
tithed all my income every week!"
Not even bothering to check the book, Michael said, "Tithing
faithfully is worth 1 point."
"I can't believe it!" shouted the man. "That only makes 11
points—I'll never get to a million! If that's all my good
works are worth I might as well just throw myself on the
grace of God!"
"Bingo!" said Michael. "Go right on
in." |

There's a Whole Lot of
Healing Going On! |
|
In Christian circles there has always been an interest in
divine healing, of course, since no one likes to be sick or
die before what we consider "our time." But in recent months
there has been an acceleration of interest because of
happenings in a certain part of the country. Some are
calling it a revival, but that's not true because it
consists mainly of signs and wonders. The first sign of a
revival is open confession of sins, then deep repentance,
then a full turning to Christ, and then increasing and
continuing sanctification and holiness. Many years ago
someone aptly said, "True revival is like Judgment Day." Two
years after the beginning of the revival in the Hebrides
Islands (1949-1950) they counted the true conversions by
those who came to the prayer meetings. Far as they could
tell, only three young girls had not been truly saved, for
they were the only ones not attending. So what we have
happening in a certain part of the country is something
other than revival.
People are traveling there from all parts of the country
and from several other countries, mainly because the evening
meetings are being broadcast on an international television
channel. And if the reports are accurate, a number of people
are being healed. But divine healing is never isolated to a
certain place or church building. Jesus said, "These signs
shall follow those who believe," not those who live
here or there or attend this church or that or run here or
there. Now I've always been of the mind that the best way to
get to the point of believing is to immerse yourself in
everything you can find on that thing you're trying to
believe. The Bible puts it this way, "Faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
To that end, we offer a number of books on healing that
will help you to believe, if you immerse yourself in them
and do what they say. Remember, faith for healing never
comes easy—unless God sovereignly imparts it—but when it
comes it always does its work. As Dr. Charles S. Price used
to say, "You can no more have faith without results then you
can have motion without movement." So over on the right are
some of our books on faith for healing; some are to inspire
you through testimonies of what God has done for others, and
some are to show you how to get the faith you need. |

In the Works |
|
Well, I finally got my new book, Christ Is God's
Everything For You, finished. It's been through the
editing process and is now in the publisher's hands. A good
editor named Dave Womack worked with me on it; helped me out
in several areas—yes, even editors get their writing edited.
It's hard to step back from your writing and see areas that
need a bit of tweaking, especially after you've spent
several years on a manuscript, as I did on that one. The
book should be out in January, although the folks at
Bridge-Logos said they'll try to get it out a little earlier
if there's a spot for it. A while back I suggested to the
publisher that I would like to do a book on John G. Lake,
since I still have a lot of research material on him. Title
would be: John G. Lake: A Man of Power. I did want to
do on a royalty contract, but editorial work is slow right
now so they asked if I would do it on a freelance basis. I
agreed, since I figure at my age there's no need of being
concerned about long-term royalties. And I do want to do the
book.
Beverlee edited books for a couple of authors and now
she's revising an R. A. Torrey book: The Power of Prayer
and the Prayer of Power. We're changing the title a bit
to The Power of Prayer and Praying with Power, which
is more what it's about. It's been a great book for years
and I know she'll make it even better. It will be in the
Bridge-Logos Pure Gold Classic series.
Like always, Beverlee and I would appreciate your prayers
for us and our work.
