I'm back and have several hundred emails to go through today. I'll have some photos to share with you after I get caught up. It may take a few days. In the meantime, here is an uplifting excerpt from an email that I received today from our good friend Chaplain Alan Farley of the Re-enactor's Missions For Jesus Christ:
We reprinted a Confederate Gospel tract many years ago. It is called "Noah's Carpenters." On the back page of the tract is a survey, that was done in the 1850s or '60s, of 1000 Christians. They were broken down into 5 age groups as to when they received Christ.
Under 20: 548 were saved
20 to 30: 337 were saved
30 to 40: 86 were saved
40 to 50: 11 were saved
50 to 60: 3 were saved
60 to 70: 1 was saved
The tract then goes on to say; "Just one out of a thousand Christians converted over sixty years old. What a lesson on delay – what an awful lesson! What an appeal is this to the unconverted of every age. Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation."
Update: I did manage to complete the 2 workbooks for my upcoming class that I'll be teaching at SPC. Here are PDFs of the two programs:
