SHADES OF THE BOOK OF ACTS
Note: in Acts 5:28 we read where he Sanhedrin or
high council of Jerusalem had ordered the apostles not to preach in the
name of Jesus in that city. It is a ploy of Satan to use men with world
authority to stop gospel preaching (cf., Jer. 26:8-9), and not just in
Bible times. Below you will read of an order by a church council made
up of denominational “reverends and pastors” in the India state of
Manipur, who ordered broth Khulen Kom (who is supported by the New Union
Church in Coffee County, Tennessee) to cease preaching in their area.
Note how they seek at first to temper their order against our brother,
Church Council
Manipur, Northeast India
To Mr. Khulechao Motte Kom (Khulenchao)
Preacher Church of Christ
Sagang
We greet you in Jesus name. We leaders of
five churches of Sagang area held an emergency meeting on 30 January,
2007, (Tuesday) at 10 A.M. accordingly sitting (and made) No. 1
Resolution. We, unanimously agreed and resolved that Mr. Kholenchao
(Khulen Kom), must stop his church of Christ ministry among us soon.
And let him not introduce and interfere his church of Christ Doctrine
among believers (denominations) of Sagana area. This is the last
warning for you that if you preach and introduce the doctrines once
again you will be in trouble.
(Nine names were signed with the titles given
below)
1. Reverend, Sagang Baptist
Church 2. Pastor of Baptist Church
3. Pastor of Baptist
Church 4. Baptist Council Chairman
5. Elder, Presbyterian
Church 6. Evangelist, Presbyterian
Church
7. Pastor of Baptist Church
8. Sagang Area Baptist Fellowship, Chairman, Sec.
9. Secretary Sagan Baptist Church
Brother Khulen Kom has not been deterred by these
orders of men, but has in fact started a Bible training school in the
Sagang area of Manipur with ten enrolled. Although there are strong
restrictions on our travel to that region we are helping one of our
Shillong graduates to assist them. Please pray for this work.
With love to all,
Jim E. Waldron

Just a thought or two…
Your character is built with what you stand
for; your reputation by what you fall for.
You must climb the mountain if you wish to
view the plain.
The best thing you can spend on your children
is your time.

God’s Word
1 John 2:1-6 NKJV
1 My little children, these things I write to
you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an
Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we
keep His commandments.
4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep
His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love
of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He
walked.
