Mr. Hamilton,<\/p>\n
I have so many questions. May I ask of you?\u00a0I’ve been trying to understand the Scriptures on my own, but I believe in the blessing and command of the church and teachers. I have been so blessed by many of your letters and teachings, and I long for solid ground.<\/p>\n
Also, my husband and I are looking for a church and are willing to move.<\/p>\n
Thank you again!<\/p>\n\t
“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?<\/em>” (Romans 10:14).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Preachers and teachers do serve to help people better understand the Scriptures and to cause people to be aware of instructions they might have overlooked.<\/p>\n
If you let me know what town you are near or what town you are looking to move, I can see if I can find a congregation near you.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
