The coming of your pamphlet into my life has provided the correction that has been so long needed in my theological foundation, and I will always be deeply indebted to you for it. When one has been guilty of error for so long, it takes a while to make the psychological adjustment, but I thank God that I have begun the trip. Please find room to print this letter, for I know that many ministers are making this same mistake today. We are building on the subjective while leaving behind the great objective truth of the Christ experience of the cross and the justification that is ours thereby. This is like building the superstructure while leaving off the foundation.
Ultimate collapse is the inevitable consequence.
I am wearied with gimmickry, sloganism, hip Scripture paraphrases, and slick surface treatments of the problems attending sanctification. There are many paradoxes in the Bible. I'm thankful for your publications, which have pointed me to the Word and to what true justification is. I've been exposed to some people caught in the charismatic movement-lovely people who do love their Lord but are in bondage because of listening to man's doctrine instead of the Word alone. I was striving for that feeling.
