- COMPENSATION
-
- If you read the book of Ruth, you know that Boaz told his workers to
- let a few "handfuls of purpose" fall to Ruth's lot in the field. The
- Lord compensated her and paid her back for her loyalty to her mother-
- in-law by giving her a few blessings on purpose. This has been our
- lot in life almost the entire time in the ministry. Every time we get
- some rabid ranter like Chris McHugh getting upset about the plain
- truth in the English Bible, or some amateur scholar like Gary Hudson
- trying to get attention, or some professional educator like Bob Jones
- III trying to get you to think that somebody has "slandered" his
- "godly institution," we get this kind of thing from the rank and file
- of Christians:
-
- "Dear Brother Ruckman, thank you for living by God's grace and being
- an example for us. I want to personally thank you again for the BBB's
- article you wrote on street preaching about four months ago. Since
- that time of exhortation our families enjoyed the blessings of street
- preaching and have seen people in bewilderment as they hear the gospel
- preached. This past month we surrendered to the Lord's call to the
- full time ministry as a pastor. My wife believes I was called many
- months ago. Now I cannot hold back from such an awesome and
- privileged work and office. Who am I to deserve this? I do not, but
- after seeing religious con artist after con artist mislead people, I
- am saying, Lord send me."
-
- Ample compensation for the rabid ranters. And if that were not enough
- for one week, we get this from Akron, Ohio:
-
- "Dear BBB, I just love your Bulletin and am thankful for Dr.
- Ruckman's ministry and the KJV stand. I went to Wheaton College and
- was almost duped by their warped theology, but through my husband's
- patience, and some books and tapes by Dr. Ruckman and other KJV-only
- men, the Holy Spirit convicted me. We now go to a Bible believing
- church. How much you can grow just by getting that issue straight."
-
- Compensation with interest.
