Monthly Letter - PDF Version
October 16, 2007
Dear Brethren,
As we will see from
the following
reports and letters,
it is most evident
that God the Father
and Jesus Christ
blessed us with a
tremendous Feast of
Tabernacles. Our
elders headed up the
Feast in the
following areas:
Glenn
Daniel—Virginia
Beach, VA; Marlin
Fannin and Bob
Hunnicutt, with Darl
Abrogast
assisting—Cartersville,
GA; Wayne Stenhouse
and Norbert Bohnert—Canada;
Roger
Kendall—Bozeman, MT;
and Anse Cates, with
Leon
Ritchie—Flagstaff,
AZ. Festival hosts
in other areas were:
Jamie Whitlow and
Jack Thomas—Waco,
TX; Frank
Penny—Houston, TX;
Lawerence
Burchfield—Tulsa,
OK; Herbert Simonton
and Joe Langlais—Cour
de Alene, ID; Gary
Spannagel—Roma, CO;
and Wayne
Julian—Hollister,
CA. Three new
sites—added a month
prior to the
Feast—were: Tucson,
AZ, hosted by Todd
Dragger; Palm
Springs, CA, hosted
by Jim Hyles and
John Maytas; and
Mount Carmel, OH,
hosted by Roy Rudd.
Each host has
reported that the
Feast in all these
areas was most
inspiring!
From the office here
in Hollister we sent
out over 100 sets of
DVDs for small Feast
groups in the USA,
as well as nearly
400 CDs (with all
nine sermons on each
CD) to those who,
because of
circumstances, were
keeping the Feast at
home. There was a
lot of activity on
our Website before
and during the
Feast, as many were
downloading audio
sermons and
transcripts so they
would have material
for the Feast. For
those who are
incarcerated, Jim
Hyles sent out 17
sets of transcripts
of the festival
sermons before the
Feast, as many of
them cannot receive
that many cassettes
or CDs at one time.
We received special
greetings from Steve
Gough and the
brethren in New
Zealand who reported
that they were
having an inspiring,
excellent Feast.
Australian office
manager Roy Assanti
called and reported
on the Feast in
Australia, which is
typically kept in
several smaller
groups because of
age and the distance
between brethren.
Whether in groups or
individually, well
over 2,000 brethren
observed the Feast
of Tabernacles this
year with CBCG.
(This is not
including the 40,000
people who visited
our Website in
September and early
October from all
over the world—with
over 7,500 who
downloaded sermons
and transcripts for
their personal Feast
observance.)
While we have not
yet received a
written report from
every festival site,
those that have
reported in reflect
the wonderful and
inspiring Feast that
everyone enjoyed.
Goshen, Indiana
Dennis Thome and
Allan Bush did a
tremendous job in
setting up and
hosting the Feast at
Goshen. I began the
Feast there and
preached three
sermons. The love,
unity and fellowship
with the brethren
was really
inspiring. Everyone
was tremendously
excited about the
Bible Project,
especially when I
showed them the
beautiful artwork
for the presentation
box and for the
lambskin cover for
the Bible, and the
artwork for the soft
cover version. We
had an absolutely
outstanding meal
between services on
the first day—with
95 in attendance.
Dennis reported that
the rest of the
Feast went smoothly
and that everyone
left spiritually
filled and inspired
for the coming year.
Cartersville, GA
“Our Feast of
Tabernacles at Red
Top Mountain was
almost
indescribable! We
are convinced beyond
all doubt that God
gave us a special
blessing. We could
all feel His
presence here and
the love that was in
evidence between the
brethren was beyond
comparison. You did
your part, I [Darl]
did my part, Marlin
and Bob and several
others did their
parts and God smiled
on it all and gave
it His blessing. The
brethren were
enthralled with the
quietude and natural
beauty of our
surroundings, and
your messages were
the best you’ve ever
done.
“Many brethren who
have been to the
Feast multiple times
expressed to me that
this was truly their
best Feast ever. On
top of every thing
else, God gave us
ideal weather—mid
60s at night and 80
in the afternoon.
Nearly all the
brethren said they
wanted to come back
next year [we have
already paid for
2008, so we are set
for next year]. We
had a high
attendance of 56 and
the hall was perfect
for our size crowd.
We are expecting a
larger crowd for
next year because so
many were saying
they are going to
spread the word to
other brethren they
know and share this
experience with as
many as possible by
next year.”
Marlin Fannin
called, as did Bob
Hunnicutt, giving a
verbal report as
glowing as Darl’s—and
reported that four
new brethren were
baptized during the
Feast at
Cartersville.
Waco, Texas
“We hope your Feast
was the best ever
and that all is well
upon your return to
Hollister. (Lots of
pictures enclosed.)
We had a high
attendance of 75,
and we heard many,
many uplifting
comments about the
clarity of your
explanation of
Isaiah, which also
provided many
answers to questions
they had, as well as
its application to
the holy days.
Others stated that
they had never heard
the Last Great Day
explained as
thoroughly and as
easy-to-understand
as they heard on the
last day.
“We had many new
brethren come to the
Feast in Waco, which
made up for those
who traveled to
other sites this
year. It was a most
inspiring and
uplifting Feast,
though you brought
some very sobering
information about
‘The Late Great UK
and USA.’
“Though the site was
relatively small, so
many brethren
expressed their
appreciation for the
food, enjoyed the
meals and the
wonderful
fellowship. What a
blessing to all be
together in love and
unity and feast like
this during the
Feast. All the work
that is done for the
brethren there in
Hollister is deeply
appreciated. We are
looking forward to
next year and your
coming on February
9, 2008; the hall
has been reserved.
—In Christian love,
J & Gerrie Whitlow
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Lawrence Burchfield
reports that they
had a fantastic
Feast in Tulsa. The
weather was perfect,
nice Fall days, the
trees are just about
ready to turn color.
Everything went
smoothly and the
messages were the
very best. I think
that with you doing
the Bible project,
it has opened up a
much deeper
understanding of
God’s plan for
mankind and has tied
it all together in a
way that we have not
looked at before.
Everyone made
comments as to how
much more they
learned at this
Feast than in years
past. Those from
other groups who
attended with us
said that they will
be writing to be put
on the mailing list;
others said they
want to visit our
fellowship group
from time to time.
The West family
adds: All the
brethren enjoyed the
meals and
fellowship. Every
year it seems that
we are getting
closer to filling up
the hall, as more
brethren come. The
brethren are getting
more knowledgeable
of God’s Word and
further grounded in
the true faith. We
appreciate the meaty
and inspiring
sermons. Everyone is
excited and looking
forward to the new
Bible. It was
wonderful to spend
time with brethren
and meet new people
and see old friends
from other
fellowships.
Coeur de’ Alene,
Idaho
The Manzo family
called with a
wonderful report on
the Feast in
Idaho. The 35-40 brethren
attending was just
about the right
number of people,
because it made it
possible to meet and
fellowship with
everyone. It was a
perfect location
with great scenery
on every side. We
all stayed in the
same hotel we met
in—just great!
The sermons were
inspiring,
especially the ones
on Isaiah, with all
the brethren
anticipating the
sermon every day. We
had special music
and everyone had a
tremendous Feast!
Bozeman, Montana
God poured out His
spirit abundantly in
beautiful Bozeman,
Montana. With 39
brethren in
attendance, the
feasting and
fellowshipping
opportunities were
numerous. Everyone
truly appreciated
the DVD sermons and
the live sermonettes,
as well as the Bible
Study by Roger
Kendall. The
brethren hiked to
Palisade Falls,
spelunked at Lewis
and Clark Caverns,
and toured the
Museum of the
Rockies, seeing the
world renowned
display of dinosaur
bones. Later we saw
an awesome
planetarium show.
Some went to the
Bozeman Symphony,
and others went
go-carting. The
brethren enjoyed
hearing the
children’s and
adult’s choir.
Everyone had a great
time! Several were
overheard to say
that it was their
best Feast ever and
are now looking
forward to the
Kingdom of God with
greater
understanding.
Flagstaff, Arizona
I talked with Leon
Ritchie, who
reported that they
had a tremendous
Feast in Flagstaff.
The love and
fellowship were
uplifting and the
sermons were
inspiring. As Leon
said, “We all
learned a lot.” Anse
and Ella Mae Cates
were there again
this year, coming
all the way from
Ohio by Amtrak
passenger train.
They say it is the
greatest way to
travel and that they
don’t miss “going to
heaven as Fred does
when he travels by
plane” and that “the
view from the train
is far better.”
Hollister,
California
Wayne Julian did an
exceptional job of
preparing and
hosting the festival
site in Hollister.
He made special
posters and
schedule-of-event
pamphlets—beautiful
work. Kip Johnson
assisted in the
setup for the
meetings so everyone
could enjoy the
Feast. The love and
fellowship was
tremendous. I was
here for the last
four days and it was
most inspiring to be
with the 38 brethren
meeting in
Hollister. We had
everyone over to our
home for a meal and
fellowship on
Tuesday—home cooked
by me and Dolores. I
also displayed all
of my old and
precious Bibles and
my original copy of
the Stephens 1550
Greek New Testament.
Kalbar, Australia
Harry and Joan Roe
write: Like you, we
had a great Feast.
The spiritual food
was wonderfully
inspiring and
thoroughly
appreciated by all
present. The
atmosphere was one
of love, unity and
cooperation. Though
we are scattered, we
had an attendance of
22. As usual, Roy
and Carol excelled
with the physical
food, and the
fellowship went on
for hours after
lunch. The offerings
were excellent and
our visitors from
Washington state,
USA, seemed to
thoroughly enjoy
every aspect of the
Feast. They really
added something
special for all of
us with their warmth
and participation in
everything.
Letter from woman
attending her first
Feast
Dear Brother Fred,
I really don’t know
the appropriate
words to express to
you how I feel—this
was an amazing Feast
of Tabernacles!!!!
My first one
actually since I was
baptized. I watched
and listened to the
Feast of Tabernacles
DVDs and I was so
uplifted, so
inspired, so pricked
to the heart that I
want to thank you
and thank the Lord
for the truth of
God’s Word. Thank
you for inspiring us
to keep on the good
fight—keep on
keeping on, keeping
God’s commandments,
God’s weekly Sabbath
and all the feast
days that God has
for us to keep.
Thank you for
speaking the truth,
for telling us what
is necessary to hear
and for not
compromising with
the Word of the
Lord, but for
teaching us the
truth and inspiring
us to go on and
never give up or
fall away. These
messages really had
a big impact on our
little group. Thank
you for this 2007
Feast of Tabernacles
and the Last Great
Day—exactly
that—Great!!!
Sincerely, from Ontario, Canada
A man who is a
shut-in keeps the
Feast
Dear Friends,
I hope all of you
and Mr. Fred had a
wonderful Feast this
year. Though I am a
shut-in, I had a
good feast—the CD
messages were all
good. I am looking
forward to the new
Bible that you are
putting together.
Well I must go, but
you are all in my
thoughts and
prayers. Take care
my friends.
From Mr. G.G.
Feast Comments
Dear Fred,
We had a great Feast
at Cartersville,
Georgia, at Red Top
Mountain State Park.
The weather was
great, the messages
came in loud and
clear. The
fellowship and food
was fantastic.
Everyone enjoyed
themselves. Thanks
for the main sermons
on Isaiah. I didn’t
realize that the
book of Isaiah had
so much to say about
the Feast of
Tabernacles and the
coming kingdom of
God. Thank you for
all the written
materials, the tapes
and CDs, DVDs and
especially for the
book God’s Plan
For Mankind Revealed
by His Sabbath and
Holy Days. I am
looking forward to
the Holy Bible In
Its Original Order.
Thank you for
supplying the study
material which even
made the Feast that
much better.
Of all the years I
have spent in the
Church of God, I can
say I now have a
better foundation of
understanding the
Scriptures—more than
I ever did before.
With love, your brother in Christ
Dear Fred,
We hope everyone had
a great Feast and
that all have
returned safely
[Yes, all did!]. I
really enjoyed all
the MP3 CDs,
especially the Feast
of Tabernacles ones.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much
for the “Best Feast
Ever” in Houston. We
were so thankful to
be able to go. The
brethren were so
loving and helpful.
Lots of love, T.P.
Kept the Feast at
home
Dear Fred,
Although we kept the
Feast at home, we
had a wonderful
Feast and we are
soon going back over
Isaiah, Daniel,
Ezekiel and
Revelation. I
learned more about
the Great White
Throne Judgment and
the second
resurrection. I
think God’s weekly
Sabbath and holy
days are so great.
When the high holy
days come, I’m so
excited—and when
they are over there
is a big letdown;
but we have the
Sabbath to look
forward to each
week. We went to
Mount Carmel for the
Feast of Trumpets
and met and
fellowshipped with
the brethren. We met
Anse and Ella Mae
Cates, and enjoyed
the meal together
after the wonderful
sermon.
JA, WV
Dear Fred,
Thank you so much
for the Feast CDs we
received. We
enjoyed them each
day of the Feast,
especially the
sermons on Isaiah.
So we had a good
Feast even though we
had to stay home.
We were able to get
together with a few
other brethren who
couldn’t go.
We met together two
times at the Golden
Corral in Sherman
for a meal and
fellowship. My
son David continues
to heal after his
surgery and skin
grafts in February
and March.
Thank you so much
for your prayers.
With love from both
of us.
B & D M, TX
From husband and
wife long-timers
Dear Fred,
My wife and I have
been enjoying your
expounding the
Bible. You always
bring things out
that we never really
heard before. In the
WCG, they had a
routine of services
they went through
and I got so that I
knew what they were
going to say before
they said it—even
knew the scriptures
they would use! We
are looking forward
to the Feast of
Tabernacles.
Sincerely, God bless you and all your staff
From a new couple
Dear Elder Coulter,
We were very
surprised that you
sent us a new MP3
player! [We have
sent out nearly 150
already.] Thank you
for it. We were
having problems with
ours (only 6 months
old). I don’t know
if Wal-Mart will
take it back. Many
times we wanted to
play the CDs and
just gave up. Now
the one you sent
works just great!
Thank you!
We would like to
request a set of CDs
called God’s Plan
for Mankind Revealed
by His Sabbath and
Holy Days. We
are Sabbath keepers,
and I want to study
the Feast Days. May
God continue to
bless you and your
staff as you work
for Him!
With Christian love, from MI
From Jamaica—finally
out of spiritual
prison
Dear Mr. Coulter,
I want to thank you
for all the study
material I have
received thus far.
It is a joy and a
blessing to have
come into contact
with the CBCG
ministry. I was a
part of a church
which believed that
it was “the one and
only true Church of
God” and where the
Bishop reigned
supreme. What he
said was law. My
family and I could
not even visit other
Sabbath-keeping
churches without his
permission. My
family and I were
like birds in a
cage—not being free
to worship Jesus
Christ. So we
decided to leave
that organization.
Now most Sabbaths we
are home and we
spend the Sabbath
listening to tapes
with some of the
most wonderful
sermons you have
done. Your ministry
has been a lifeline
to my family and I.
Thank you for
allowing God to use
you to be a blessing
to us and many
others who are
alone.
Please send me the
13 Epistle of James
tapes. And please
remember to work on
the video about the
ACLU.
Thanks much, A.S.
From Wayne Stenhouse—Report
From Canada
Around 35 brethren
enjoyed a peaceful
and relaxing Feast
of Tabernacles in
Moncton, New
Brunswick, Canada.
The love of God and
the Holy Spirit were
evident throughout
the entire Feast. I
attribute this to
the fact that every
single person had an
attitude of serving.
This was the
spiritual glue that
held everything
together. The
sermons were
inspiring and
thought provoking.
The song leaders and
the pianist were
absolutely
fantastic. With
everyone serving in
some capacity, this
was the key that
made everything
successful. As a
group we traveled in
caravan style to see
Anne of Green Gables
in the area of
Hopewell Rocks. Our
gratitude goes to
those who made this
trip possible. This
was my most peaceful
and happy Feast
ever. It was evident
that God was with
His people and He
truly blessed the
entire Festival.
We had a good report
from Norbert Bohnert
in Western Canada at
Fernnie. As usual,
they too had a
wonderful
Feast—although they
had only half the
usual number of
brethren because of
the new Feast site
in Bozeman, Montana,
and because of some
brethren traveling
to other sites. Next
year we are looking
forward to having a
site near Victoria,
or someplace in BC
that will
accommodate the
brethren in far
Western Canada. But
nevertheless, God’s
spirit and love was
with us during the
entire Feast.

Subject: My
Successful Trip
Report
Dear Fred and Jim,
I am very glad to
pass on to you my
trip report. It was
very successful and
God was with me in
all things.
Wednesday I boarded
the bus and headed
to Kibre Mingest,
356 km from Addis
Ababa. The trip was
very long. When I
arrived at the town
I was very
exhausted. But when
I saw the cheering
brothers and
sisters, my spirit
revived. I went to
the home of a very
good brother for the
night’s rest.
My work began on
Thursday afternoon.
There was a tent
outside the
brother’s home who
hosted the meeting.
Slowly the tent
began to be packed
with people. I began
my teaching by
sharing the Sabbath
truth. I spoke for
two hours,
explaining that the
Sabbath is God’s
gift for us and that
Christians are
obliged to keep it
holy. I gave them
biblical references
about
Sabbath-keeping from
both the OT and NT.
At the end of my
teaching they all
clapped their hands
with satisfaction.
Then I encouraged
them to ask
questions concerning
the Sabbath.
Different questions
were asked and I
gave the answers to
their questions. The
meeting went well,
and lasted until 7
in the evening. I
gave them copies of
the booklets, “Which
is the True
Sabbath?” and
“Beliefs of CBCG.”
The next day we
spent much of the
time preparing for
the Sabbath. At
sunset the tent
became full and we
began our meeting. I
shared with them
about the Feasts and
Holy days of God. I
went on to explain
the true meaning
behind these feast
days of God and
stressed that God
has commanded His
people to keep them
instead of the pagan
feast days, such as
Christmas, Easter,
etc. They were
amazed by the clear
biblical truths and
embraced them
quickly. We spent
all day Saturday
studying the Bible.
Before the afternoon
came, I shared with
them the love of God
in giving us His Son
to die for our sins.
I explained about
the death and
resurrection of
Jesus and emphasized
the 3 days and 3
nights. The truth
inspired many of
[them] and there was
a loud “Amen.” In
the afternoon I
taught about the
fallacy of the
Trinity doctrine. I
gave them many
historical and
biblical evidences,
which prove the
fallacy of the
trinity. Then, after
a break, I explained
the Law and Grace of
God. I stressed that
the law was not
abolished on the
cross and gave them
many biblical
references. After I
finished my
teaching, the leader
of the program
announced a
testimony time. We
heard the testimony
of 3 attendees who
told us that they
have learned great
truths which they
didn’t learn
formerly from their
churches. I was
greatly moved by
their testimonies.
The Sabbath passed
with great joy.
On Sunday morning I
went with two
brothers to a little
village. We had to
walk 4 hours by foot
and cross a lake in
a canoe to reach the
village. We arrived
there by midday. The
village was very
primitive and
without proper
infrastructures.
There is neither
light nor pure
water. It was very
difficult to get
pure water. When we
arrived there we
were very exhausted
and thirsty. We
didn’t have any
choice but to pray
and drink from a
running river. Thank
God He protected us
from any disease. In
the evening, I began
my teaching for 25
people who gathered
together to hear the
word of truth. There
was a translator who
translated my
teaching into their
language, which is
Kembatena. I spent
two days with
them—teaching,
encouraging and
admonishing them to
hold fast in what
they were taught. I
left some booklets
with them. I asked
the translator if he
was willing to
translate the
booklets into
Kembatena. When I
heard that he was
more than willing to
do so, I became very
glad. He promised to
translate the
booklet, “Is God a
Trinity?” and send
it to me. I promised
him I would print
his translation and
send copies to him
so that he can
distribute them to
those who are
interested. I
returned to the town
on Tuesday, after
walking 4 hours. In
the evening we had a
farewell meeting. I
encouraged those who
attended the meeting
to be very
courageous and stand
for the truth. I
promised them that I
would visit them in
the near future. We
prayed together and
established the CBCG
there. Then I went
to my rest.
Wednesday morning I
boarded the bus and
returned to Addis
Ababa.
Feast of
Tabernacles Summary:
I was encouraged to
see how the Lord is
working around the
country, and to see
new believers
standing firm for
the truth. I firmly
believe in the
importance of this
work. I am reminded
of Paul’s work along
these lines (Acts
15:36). I thank my God and His Son Jesus Christ for all their protection on
my trip and for
opening people’s
heart to hear the
truth.
I also want to thank
you and all the
families of CBCG who
were praying for me
to have success on
this trip. The Feast
is really wonderful
here. We began our
meetings yesterday.
We spent all day
studying God’s word
and praying. We will
continue with the
same today. Then we
will have a whole
day’s meeting on the
LGD. We wish a very
nice and uplifting
Feast to all of you
out there. God bless
you all. I will send
some pictures soon.
Date: Sunday, 7
October 2007
Subject: Great Feast
Dear Fred and Jim,
I fully believe that
you have had a very
great and nice Feast
and LGD. We have
experienced God’s
presence on this
Feast. We began the
feast on Sept. 27.
We had a day-long
meeting, both the
morning and the
afternoon. I shared
with those who
attended the meaning
of the Feast,
quoting several
scriptures relevant
to the subject so
that they can
understand that this
festival is an
important one in
God’s plan. From
Sept. 28 to Oct. 3,
we studied the word
of God each morning
and evening. In the
intervals I prayed
for those who were
sick and God healed
them. I shared the
messages which Fred
has made on the
prophecies of Isaiah
from the recent
DVDs.
On Oct. 4 and 5, we
spent the whole day
[together]. I shared
the messages from
the book, “God’s
Plan for Mankind
Revealed”—from pages
528-572. The people
were revived by
these wonderful
messages. The Feast
was great here. The
blessings are still
with us. God has
taught us a lot.
Praise His name. I
will write again
soon. God bless.
Sincerely in His love, Kassahun
The Extra Sermons
Before, During and
After the Feast
This year, because
of the sequence of
the holy days and
weekly Sabbaths, I
had the opportunity
to give eight
more sermons. We are
sending them to you
in this mailing. At
least half of them
are about the coming
problems with the
USA, with the dollar
and the North
American Union. I
also covered parts
of the book by
Jerome Corsi, The
Late Great USA.
However, I titled
those sermons,
The Late Great
UK and USA.
Brethren, the reason
that I have given
the series of
sermons called “Be
Strong in the Lord”
is because we are on
the verge of some
very dramatic events
to take place in the
near future. How far
in the future will
these events be? A
year, several years?
We don’t know
exactly, but they
are coming and we
must be prepared.
These things will
probably not happen
all at once, but
will come like the
waves of the ocean
in a storm, one
after the other.
Regardless, when
these events take
place they will
greatly affect the
USA and the UK,
because they are
actually the hand of
God’s judgment for
our great national
sins against God!
As I mentioned in my
last letter, our
downfall will
largely be the
result of our
multitudinous debt:
national, state,
regional—plus all of
our business and
corporate debt. And
piled high upon
these debts are all
the personal debts
of the American
people. This nation
is literally in debt
to the whole world!
We have flooded the
world with trillions
and trillions of
dollars and paper
debt that in the
near future will
become nearly
worthless. It is
becoming more and
more obvious to
those who hold all
this paper debt that
the United States
and its people will
never be able to pay
back any of it!
Remember, God
prophesied that
because our nations
have rejected Him
and disobeyed His
laws and
commandments,
foreign nations
would rise high
above us as
punishment from the
Almighty:
“The stranger that
is within you shall
get up above you
very high; and you
shall come down very
low.
He shall lend to
you, and you shall
not lend to him: he
shall be the head,
and thou shall be
the tail.
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you, and shall
pursue you, and
overtake you, until
you are destroyed;
because you did not
hearken unto the
voice of the Lord
your God, to keep
His commandments and
His statutes which
He commanded you:
and they shall be
upon you for a sign
and for a wonder,
and upon your seed
forever; because you
did not serve the Lord
your God with
joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart,
for the abundance of
all things” (Deut.
28:43-47).
We are witnessing
these prophecies
coming to pass
before our own eyes.
We had a narrow
escape just before
the Feast. On the
international money
markets, confidence
suddenly eroded
because of sub-prime
mortgage defaults
and the high number
of houses in
foreclosure, coupled
with a stagnant
real-estate market
in many parts of the
USA. To reverse the
falling dollar, the
United States
Federal Reserve Bank
lowered the interest
rate and barely
staved off an
immediate dollar
disaster. But that
move will only fuel
inflation, leading
to more economic
problems. Therefore,
we need to be “wise
as serpents” and
“harmless as doves”
as we eliminate as
much personal debt
as possible.
Unfortunately, the
majority of people
in the USA do not
really know what is
happening. In the
years ahead, people
will continue to
accumulate more
debt, while many
others will leave
too much of their
money in banks that
will eventually
fail. Then debtors
will be out of house
and home, and
depositors will lose
most, if not all, of
their money.
When tumultuous
times like these
come, we need to
claim the promises
of Psalm 91—Almighty
God’s protection,
which I thoroughly
cover in the last
sermon on this CD.
Please, brethren, be
strong in the Lord
and trust in Him
regardless of
troubles on the
right hand and on
the left.
Letter from South
Africa
Dear Fred,
Greetings from South
Africa. As you
may know I have been
receiving material
from CBCG for a
couple of years now,
for which I am
very grateful.
Being an outlying
member of God’s
Church and not being
able to assemble
with brethren
regularly because of
distance and high
travel costs, a
service such as you
do provide is of
very high value and
much
appreciated.
Thank you for the
very timely news
letter of September
11, 2007.
Things in South
Africa are getting
worse by the day.
God is severely
punishing [the
descendants of
modern] Israel [the
Anglo-Saxons] down
here, and yet people
do not understand
what is going on!
They are still
living it up while
God is left on the
sid track or
completely
forgotten.
To be white in South
Africa is almost a
curse.
Unlawful
“immigrants” from
Zimbabwe are flooding our
borders and I don’t
know how long it
will take before a
similar situation as
in Zimbabwe will take place here.
1.
White farmers
are being murdered,
their land
confiscated and
nothing is being
done about it.
2.
All sections
of the government
are rife with
corruption, fraud,
nepotism,
incompentence, and
whatever name you
can think about,
you’ll find it
there.
3.
The police
forces are the most
corrupt.
4.
High-jacking,
kidnapping, rapes,
burglaries, assualts,
murders, you name it
is every day
happenings.
5.
The
unprecedented fast
rise in the cost of
living is a
foreboding of only
one
thing—revolution,
when the have-nots
will by force and
enmasse take what
they want and need.
6.
Apart from
all this human
evils, God is also
punishing us with
drought, floods,
fires and the
consequences of
these on the food
supply.
Despite this bleak
picture there is
still so much to
thank and praise God
for. I still
have a house, a
work, fairly good
health and above all
God’s truth!
One can only look up
and pray for His
protection and
guidance.
When available,
please send me the
whole translation of
the Bible.
Thank you once again
for your great
service of love and
all the inspiring
sermons.
Warm regards, R.M South Africa
The Bible Project
We are working hard
to complete the
Bible Project and
get everything to
the printer by
November 1. It looks
like we will make
it; but if not, we
will not be more
than a week late. We
have finished all
the beautiful
artwork for the
cover—leather and
softcover, as well
as for the
presentation
box—thanks to Cindy
Curley of Curley
Creatives. The
genuine handcrafted
lambskin cover and
the artwork are
beautiful. As some
of you know, during
the Feast I took
samples of the
artwork and the
leather cover and
showed the brethren.
They all agreed that
this will be a
first-class Bible in
every way. From all
the letters, e-mails
and comments, we
know that everyone
is anxious to
receive their copy
of the new Bible. We
should have it in
hand by the middle
of December and you
will receive it
shortly afterwards.
Appendices W and X
and footnote for
Genesis 6:4
You will find
enclosed Appendices
W and X (from the
new Bible) detailing
the two Jehovahs of
the Old Testament
and an analysis of
Mark 12:29. Save
this paperwork for
the next CD, which
has the sermon that
accompanies them.
We have also
included the
footnote that will
appear at the bottom
of the page in the
new Bible for
Genesis 6:4. We did
not have enough room
or the time to put
this sermon on the
enclosed CD, so it
will be on the next
CD in the next
mailing.
Brethren, as you can
see from this Feast
Report letter, in
every place—whether
assembled together
in groups or
alone—God has
blessed everyone
with a tremendous
Feast this year. We
all know that as we
hold fast in the
love of God and grow
in grace and
knowledge, God the
Father and Jesus
Christ will continue
to bless all of us
in our lives as we
continue to serve
the brethren of God
and those new people
that He is
calling—and those He
will yet call. Thank
you for your
continued support
through your love,
prayers and tithes
and offerings. May
God continue to
bless you and yours
in every thing,
so that you may be
strong in the Lord.
I have been
invited to
