Appearing in the last issue of searching the Scriptures is an article by the editor at that time – Donnie Rader with an overview of the paper’s history He discusses the tremendous efforts of its previous editors H.E. Phillips and Connie Adams, some of its policies, and its impact. As I read this article I could not help but be affected by what this paper meant to these men. Although all the issues are PDF format, this post does not require any special tools to view.

Eulogy for Mom
In October 2000 a touching article appeared entitled “Eulogy for Mom”. I can only assume this was delivered by Lewis Willis at the funeral of his mother Wilhelmina Elizabeth Thompson Willis. With Mother’s Day approaching and some discourse occurring in the political arena regarding the value of stay-at-home moms, this piece is especially poignant. This article has several stories which tug at the heart strings, will make you smile, and remind us of the importance of this irreplaceable role both to the family and to society at large. In regards to her value, I am left with the question “Where else could she have invested her talents that would have meant more to her, her family, and to the future of the Lord’s church?”
App Of the Day
Free for today only over in the Amazon app store the ACT virtual printer app. I have been meaning to write more about ways to share information between a computer and your Kindle device. in short, this application allows you to share something from your computer to a Kindle device connected via WiFi. Very handy if you ran across something you’d like to read later but don’t want to go to the trouble of saving the file and transferring it via a USB cable. I have tried several applications, my current favorite is Evernote, but there are several which are roughly equivalent. I have not used this method yet, but plan on trying it soon.
Why did I write about this?
In general, I intend this group to be about spiritually related materials. I plan on making exceptions in cases such as this where I feel the topic is relevant in helping you get the most out of your device. After all, having a huge library of literature does you no good if you can’t use it.
Differences Between Brethren
In October 1958, Cecil Willis wanted to highlight by reprinting in the pages of Truth Magazine, an article which had been pinned In 1869. The author of this article, David Lipscomb, is defending the stance the Gospel Advocate had taken in regards to the discussion of controversial subjects in its pages. Some readers had charged they could not use the Gospel Advocate as a teaching tool with new converts because it contained these controversies.
Differences Between Brethren
Differences Among Brethren
in 1996 Johnny Stringer wrote a very good article about dealing with differences between brethren. He very aptly deals with differences which arise regarding congregational activities as well as personal matters. He further breaks down these categories into several situations providing sound reasoning and many Scripture references. A good resource for dealing with the inevitable issues that will arise between brethren..
Problems in the Church
The below series of articles was done by Cecil Willis while editing truth magazine between 1961 in 1963.
The Messiah and Racial Problems
In February 1963, Franklin T.. Puckett delivered an address at the Florida Christian College lectures on the subject of “The Messiah and Racial Problems”. Those connected with the magazine at the time were so impressed they immediately sought permission to reprint the entirety of his address in the magazine.
William E. Wallace wrote regarding this dissertation:
We believe it is a masterpiece. It deals fairly and squarely with the issues of race relations. It is scholarly and accurate in research and data; it is biblical and practical in both its observations and applications.
