Now let us bow our heads just a moment.
You’re just in time, Brother Ruddell. Walk up here just a minute and pray. Brother Ruddell, another one of our associate brethren here, of a little association of churches we have together, this interdenominational. And I have heard the gallant stand that Brother Ruddell taken for the Gospel. And so I say this, Brother Ruddell, that everything along the road… God has not promised a flowery bed of ease. But He promised a battle, yes, but He promised victory. That’s the thing.
I remember when I first took this stand, even my own mother and father want to turn me from the house. But, oh, my, how I baptized them in the Name of the Lord Jesus! The only hopes I ever have today is because of the stand. I’m so glad that the Message of the Bible, from the old circuit preacher down to this time… Though people has got a hold of It and they’ve trimmed It around, and they’ve made denominations and put creeds and everything else in It, that Truth still marches on. That’s right. It still marches on.
