‘Open Letter to Those M.I.A.’

Dennis Pelley’s letter to those missing in action in the October issue makes an important statement. Unfortunately, most of the people he is trying to reach no longer receive the WN. For those people, I’d suggest that members pick out a couple of people or families who are M.I.A. and begin an intensive prayer vigil for these. Ask God to use you to go to those you know. After weeks in prayer, ask them out to dinner. Let God lead you.

To those mentioned who are now "part of another troop of God’s army" (I’m in that group), perhaps we need to reconsider our calling. Our heritage could benefit the current body of the WCG. I’ve taken the opportunity to revisit several WCG congregations over the last year. Never once did I feel unwelcome. Never once did I feel the "I told you so" attitude. Never once did I feel like I was not still part of the group.

I did feel the love and move of God in each congregation. I was made to feel like I was still part of the family. I was welcomed with open arms.

To those who are still able to read the WN and do not attend church anywhere, I challenge you to visit a local WCG church just once. Prove my statements above. You do not have to counsel with the minister first. You do not ever have to become a member again to attend. You will not be put down or looked upon as a deserter. You will be loved and appreciated. You will see the mighty work God has done in this organization.

Dennis Pelley’s letter in the October WN encourages others to come back to church, to reclaim their place in the Body of Christ when we have had problems or when we are far from him.

We must make good decisions, for life is short. We are blessed that Christ died for us.

I also thank Pastor General Joseph Tkach for his item in September on "Grace and Truth". We no are longer under the law of Moses but are under Jesus Christ. By grace and truth, which came by Jesus Christ, we are redeemed. In John 3:17 we read that God didn’t send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

May God continue to inspire his servants.

Faith and freedom

I was inspired to see the article "Faith and Freedom Service in Dallas Central" in the November WN. I support a Christian legal ministry that (among other things) fights to maintain the religious freedom God originally blessed us with in this country.
