Battle for the Bible – In view of all that has been written in criticism of Harold Lindsell‘s The Battle for the Bible, it is of interest to know that, in Eternity magazine’s annual survey conducted by 100 Christian leaders, the book took third place in the choice for the “most significant book for thinking Christians” published during the past year. Once again, this book is enthusiastically recommended as must reading that you cannot afford to be without.
RTCN News – Following are excerpts from a letter received by the Reformed Fellowship, Inc. from the Reformed Theological College of Nigeria (often called the Tiv Seminary). “We write to express our appreciation for your generous gift of eight hundred dollars (gifts from individuals channeled through the Reformed Fellowship) . . . . The Joseph Akpems have just returned (Oct. 20) from the U.S.A. where Joseph was recently graduated by Calvin Theological Seminary. Rev. Mr. Akpem was appointed by the N.K.S.T. to teach at RTCN . . . our enrollment is up by six students for a total of thirty . . . Thank you again for the invaluable help you have rendered. The school depends upon gifts such as yours for the build. ing program.”
Today (while writing this–Dec. 28) someone called to say he was sending me $500 to be forwarded to the RTCN. His request was that this be used to send out preachers in Nigeria. Thank you also to this donor.
