Just one more thing: Do you have it made? - Dexter H Faulkner - September 17, 1985

I just heard the saddest news a person could hear. Three families my wife and I were very close to have all died. We labored together, we suffered trials together, we bore children together, we laughed together, for 20 years. We had one thing in common - we were all members of God's Church. But now, they have been disfellowshipped. I tried to analyze what brought about our friends tragic demises. Did they underestimate the enemy? Did they not recognize Satan's constant attempts to divide and conquer? Were they unaware of his ongoing efforts to destroy God's fledgling, Spirit-begotten Family? Perhaps they failed to realize that they were facing the greatest battle a human can wage. Maybe they didn't know where the battle was being fought - that it was right there in their minds. Day after day they should have been fighting and winning those battles - consistently saying no to self, the world and Satan, and yes to God.... - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
