From the book, LETTERS TO YOUNG PREACHERS published in 2011. Two great men who recently passed away. We can hear them still.
HAROLD TURNER — Understand you have the potential for accomplishing in the lives of many the highest order of good. There are different degrees and kinds of “good” that can be done for others, but the greatest good you will ever do anybody is to take some aspect of the will of the Father, communicate it unto him, help him to see it as it is and challenge his thinking to application. It is this understanding that will help put all the lumps, bumps, problems, junk, and stuff associated with the work in proper place and create the determination to persevere come what may. May our Father bless you now and always young man as you start the journey you have chosen, most precious indeed.
Sewell Hall – Writing these things reminds me of how far short I have come of being what I wanted to be as an evangelist. Whatever I have done right is due to the good example and instruction of my father and mother, the encouragement and guidance of godly men and women, and my own feeble efforts to learn and follow the instructions of Scripture. God’s Word is your infallible guide and to whatever extent you find my thoughts and suggestions in harmony with it “commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2). This is God’s plan for the continued preaching of truth, even after you and I have gone to our reward.
