Just a word about myself
By: guest46 Date: February 8, 2020, 5:22 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello there,
I know so many of you, which is lovely to see. Yet I feel it is
necessary for me to tell you a little of my history. The word
of God concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, took root in my
heart at a young age, when He became known to me as my Saviour.
Brought up initially in a baptist chapel, I was attending an
nondenominational evangelical mission when I was brought to
salvation. Then I attended a house group, where I was
introduced to a travelling evangelist, who had formerly been a
Church of England Minister, but had left for doctrinal reasons.
He ran a mission to London, ran beach missions during the
summer, and travelled throughout the UK and Europe preaching the
gospel. Living in Norfolk, he published a bimonthly booklet
which he distributed entitled, 'Loving His Appearing', which I
started receiving, along with another from 'The Berean
Publishing Trust' entitled, 'The Berean Expositor'.
I did not understand then that they were what men call, 'ultra
dispensationalists', all I knew was that both booklets upheld
the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15, and of the men of Berea of Acts
17:11. and that they loved the Lord and gave glory to Him. I
began receiving other publications and audio tapes, which I read
avidly with an open Bible, and listened to with enthusiasm.
Everything began falling into place for me, and I began to grow.
This is where I stand, this is where I am coming from. It will
mean that those of you who have come from a more traditional
background will come to the subjects raised for discussion from
a different perspective on times, but we share one common bond,
in that we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord.
May God give us grace to bear with one another in love.
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Now that's interesting because I am Norfolk, born and bred and
I've been around for yonks without knowing of your travelling
Evangelist.
Or are you not talking about the UK 'Norfolk'......I must read
your post again to see if I've missed it.
PS No it clearly says UK.

Hi Chris,
Glad you made it over here, thank you for sharing. I don't know
much about ' the barean way '- hope to discover more through the
interactions we have here xx

Hello Mike,
He lived in Norfolk, in the UK, during the time that I knew him.
His surname was Manley, I do not remember his initials, or where
in the country he ministered while with the Church of England.
He died a good many years ago now. He simply played a part in my
life, which though small in terms of time, was great in terms of
influence. The Berean Publishing Trust is run from a chapel in
Wilson Street London, not far from St. Pauls. It is called,
'The Chapel of The Opened Book', formed by Mr C.H Welch. His
ministry, written and spoken, with that of Mr Stuart Allen, and
Dr E.W. Bullinger were my influences.
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Thank Chris,I see that your your faith is respectably founded.
I too come from a background led by Ministers who, regardless of
their specialities, did at least delve really deeply into what
was meant by the various scriptures.
Unlike the present day when so much ministry is 'froth on the
surface' with very little real depth of teaching.
Bless you....Mike
