"To John Tng - for
your encouragement"
Dear Brother in Christ -
there have been "no letters" on the Five Doves website for two
days in a row and for several days before, also. I am
concerned that you may be fatigued with the delay in our call
Home. Are you alright? As a watcher for many
decades, i would like to encourage you. Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick -- this is true. However, our
longing hearts will be satisfied -- this we know is also
true. While we endure these dark hours -- lonely, wating,
longing -- we are comforted in sharing the hopes, visions, and
perceptions of other like-minded believers. your labor in
this is unique. only on "five doves" do we have a single,
daily posting of current thoughts. postings that are full
of intriguing possibilities and hopeful suggestions, unity in
the faith, and the fellowship of the Spirit. postings from
ordinary people like me and from magnificent scholars like J.
Bramlett, Ron Reese, F. Riley, Luis Vega, and countless others,
plus links to other fascinating material. thank you for
maintaining the Five Doves website. Thank you for the
articles and the letters. Please accept my heartfelt
sympathy that we are not yet called Home ... and please excuse
me if i am mistaken in the motives for "no
letters." I leave you with these thoughts: let
this not be true of us. "... because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold." (Matt 24:12), but
rather let our faith, which is much more precious than gold (I
Peter 1:7) be durable and multiplied unto the praise and
honor and glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.
Maranatha -- even so, come quickly LORD Jesus !
With Christian Love and unity in the Faith -- D Gray
