“It seems that fundamentalists today are exhibiting ... only their own righteousness!”

May 2013 – Grace & Truth Magazine

Evangelicalism and fundamentalism were nicely distinguished in the You Asked answer of February 2012. The word “fundamentalist” has taken on increasingly negative connotations, now referring not to Christians who seek to proclaim the foundational truths of the faith, but instead to legalistic Christianity. This is not a new phenomenon; Paul chided the Colossians for their rules, saying, “Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom ... but they lack any value” (Col. 2:23). Thus, a “fundamentalist” I knew was seen by her relatives, not as one who loved the Lord and was active in doing good works, but as one who was “very strict.” It seems that the fundamentalists today are exhibiting, not the righteousness of God, but only their own righteousness! — USA

I want to express my gratitude for the free subscription you have given me all this while. God bless those who make it possible. The first article I always read is the Good News because it enriches my evangelistic scope and helps in gospel sharing. My humble appeal is that you renew my subscription. — Nigeria

Hello, you good people of God! I am very much helped by your December 2011 issue, especially the Feature article entitled, “What We Need To Know About Sexual Purity.” Please, I would love to receive this magazine every month, so that my spiritual life can be more upright. — Nigeria

Thanks for the excellent Feature articles on Colossians (Nov. ’11). They blessed me much, and I was able to share the wonderful truth on how to give thanks to God for His invaluable, eternal blessings that we have in Christ. Thank God for His immeasurable gift to us. God bless your richly. — Kenya

I read the magazines you send me every month. In one of the Feature articles about Habakkuk (Jan. ’12) I came across these words: “The Law of Moses never saved a single soul.” Does that mean Moses, Joshua, Caleb and Gideon, etc. are not saved? This disturbs me and I want you to explain this for me. — Spain
