FOURSCORE YEARS
It has been fourscore years, if the Lord tarries until Sept. 3, since this scribe was born. This is normal time for man’s earthly pilgrimage (Psa 90:10). By God’s grace, like Moses, “his eyes are not weak nor his strength gone” (Dt. 34:7). His years have surpassed all his father’s known ancestors. Faith in Christ was passed to him through three generations, and now to all 5 children and all 16 grandchildren of responsible age, all having been immersed for forgiveness of sins and added to the body of Christ (Acts 2:38-47). Ellen became his Canadian bride and faithful companion in 1955. He has spent 60 years in full time ministry, 14 in missions and 46 in gospel writing and publishing. He has engaged in public debates with JWs and a Mormon president, in radio preaching in Canada and Vermont, and has published Bibles and Bible related books and booklets (free listing of titles available).
Sharing the “truth in love” is his passion and prayer, so every soul might hear and obey the glorious gospel of Jesus – and that Taper might continue if God wills. Your letters and support are sincerely appreciated.
