 DAN S. SHIPLEY will return to Burnet, Texas October
7 - 13, to preach in a Gospel Meeting at the Oaks-West
church building. Services will begin at 7:30 each night, and the
public is cordially invited to attend.
Bro. Shipley is a former resident of Burnet,
and has preached some for the Oaks-West church and for the Hwy.
71 church in Spicewood. Dan and Wilma found a deep and abiding
place in our hearts. He was scheduled to be here in a meeting
last fall, but a lady (?) named Beulah poured thirteen inches of
water into his McAllen home and the meeting had to be
"called on account of hurricane.''
"Bro. Dan's" dedication to the
Lord, his study of the Word, his ability to present God's truth
with clearness and simplicity -- these things can help YOU and
ME only as we give heed, and translate them into improvements in
our own lives. COME, ENJOY, and PROFIT by this Gospel Meeting !!

I HEARD JOE!!
Bro Joe Fitch has moved to Burnet and now
preaches regularly for the Oaks-West church. I worked with bro.
Fitch in a Kermit, Tex. meeting; and have heard numerous
commendations of his work in Crane, and other west Tex as towns;
so I was not

unprepared for the fine Bible-centered lessons he
presented. I even took a few notes for PLAIN TALK readers, as
follows:
Joe says "they" is impersonal, as
we speak of Christian duties and privileges. "We" is
an improvement; but "we" haven't reached the working
unit where it really counts, until we get to "I" or
"me". What am "I" doing??
Joe says 1 Pet. 3:15 doesn't tell us to
seriously consider every foolish question someone may ask; but
we are to answer for our "hope" with the scriptures
and godly life to match.
He says "good-hearted people are going
to heaven" because "good-hearted people, by the Lord's
definition, are people who receive the word into their hearts,
and obey it." (Lu. 8:15)
Joe says the wives of 1 Pet. 3:1-f. could not
instruct apart from the word of God; but behavior as a
godly Christian wife can move or motivate the
husband to consider the word he had formerly rejected. This
could put us all on the spot. Maybe we "have the
truth" but our lives, our practices, just do not move
people to consider and obey it.
HEAR DAN AND JOE PREACH GOD’S WORD!!!
