Our Purpose
This magazine is for believers — the children of God and members of the body of Christ. The needs of the lost may occasionally be addressed. The following verses from Colossians 1:914 express our prayer and desire for you (and for ourselves) through this magazine.
“We also . . . do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Col. 1:914).
Our Focus
We want God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ to have the first and supreme place in our thoughts when God’s truth is applied to us and our needs. Sadly, we live in a day when “me and my needs” or “us and our place” so often take center stage. God’s focus is on the Son of His love “that in all things He might have the preeminence.”
Our Method
We plan to devote each issue of the magazine to a specific theme, identified by the theme verses which we had before us in selecting and writing the articles for the issue. In addition to the theme-oriented articles, we also purpose, the Lord willing, to include, from time to time, articles concerning the Christian family and articles applying the light of the Word of God to current events.
Your brethren and fellow-servants of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Doug Buchanan and Don Rule
