Bible Note: Hank: You bring to my memory a very sad thing that happened to a member of my congreation of the first church I pastored. A retired couple who lived in the small town, a farming comunity, of Turney, Missouri were faithful "seed planters" of Orals. Their idea of helping build this hospital that Oral said was there to help supporters, was that if there ever came a time they need help it would be there for them. This couple gave more than 18 thousand dollars! I became aware of their support for Oral, because this couple called me for help. They told me how she had a kidney that had stopped functioning and needed to be removed ASP. They had contaced the "City of Faith Hospital" and were told if they had insurance they could come. Their faith was nearly destroyed! They were hurt beyond what you could imagine. Together we got her on welfare and she had her kidney removed under special help to older people with low incomes. They had sent Oral their money they had saved up for retirement! To here you say the "the City of Faith" is a wasteland is no suprise to me. I can assure you that God will watch over His own, and provide for them. I also can be sure that those who say "God said thus" and it just ain't so, will be judged. They do reap what they sow. I and many others who have seen people like Oral, and A. A. Allen and the like can testify they do fall and it is not a pleasant. One cam recall Jimmy Swaggart's huge minisrty, and remember his fall. My prayer is that each of us that have anyone watching our live would be an example to attract others to Christ. Blessings to you Hank..Uall! justme |
