Louis -I was looking thru some of the most recent Table of Contents of the site and my attention was drawn to the articles “Obedience of Faith” and “I Hope That God Isn’t Too Picky” by Robert Johnson. These issues have come up recently in my studies with the sisters here and I will be referecing these articles in the classes that I teach. Please let him know I found both articles to be the “right-between-the-eyes” truth as God has revealed His truth to us! Because of Him, Marilyn

Dear Brother Rushmore, I wish to thank you for the most excellent article in the October 10, 2007 issue of the Gospel Gazette concerning Deuteronomy 14:26. I am so glad I found your page and the information and scholarship contained therein. I preach for a small congregation in SW Oklahoma, and have difficulty attaining the depth of study presented in this article. However, I am grateful to the Lord for men such as you who can analyze, address and apply such information in an understanding and informative manner. May God bless your work. For the King, Rodger Schwenn, Minister, Sullivan Village Church of Christ

Re: Beverage Alcohol. Brother Rushmore, We have about 11 adults in our congregation and 3 teenagers. I would like to place at order for each one. Please let me know how to order and the cost of shipping. I have one that I have been reading that you sent me and I think it is a great book. There was an argument recently on drinking for medical reasons and it is still unresolved (but on friendly terms). I think it is wonderful that you are passing these books out to fight against such a serious sin. Thank You. Linda Bateman

It is an excellent resource on this subject. May God continue to bless you and sister Rushmore. Brotherly, Raymond Elliott
Many thanks for the article on Freemasonry. We had found some other things (not on the web) about this. This is well written and we will pass it on to others who do not have computers. We also tell others your web address. This needed to be where the church can get it anytime because it has been a big problem in the Lord's church here in IL. We appreciate this and thanks again. In HIS service Carl & Reva McIntyre
I appreciate your work. Ernest Underwood
I am a 27 year old mother of three and a member of a church. I recently read an article that you wrote about the speaking of tongues. I would like to say shame on you. I have been raised in the church my whole life and never in my wildest dreams did I think there was someone who also believes in God would say what you did. I have sat beside by grandmother while she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. I can tell you my grandmother was not "acting" like you think. I am sure you must have gone to the wrong place to feel the hand of God. I try not to judge people but I felt compelled to write you after reading your article. I will pray for you and your family and those you preach to that one day you will feel the Spirit of the Lord on you. If you haven't felt the lord yet then sadly you have not opened your heart to him. Good Luck and God bless. Sherry Luffman [Sadly, many people ‘open their hearts or minds’ to the imaginations of men before opening God’s Word. Subjective experience never trumps objective instruction in God’s Word for a true Bible believer. ~ Editor]
I will let others know of your site. May the Lord bless your ministry continually, Roger & Judy Brown

This is Kevin Pendergrass. I am from the East Tenn School of Preaching and Missions. I have been reading through your book on Alcohol. I am preaching right now at a congregation in Athens, Tn as well as going to school. This would be a great subject to teach and I would like to use your book.

Please send the free business cards to me as I will be more than happy to help promote your good publication. Thank you & God bless! Sincerely, Darryl K. Harrison

Hello my dear brother Louis, I have been away most of the past 2 weeks and have just now pulled up the GG and seen this month’s issue. It is with deep emotions and sincere appreciation I say to you from the depths of my heart, ‘thank you’. You are so kind and considerate and I thank God for men like you who have devoted their lives in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ. I continue to inform brethren of your good work in the publishing of your books and the Gospel Gazette. While in a gospel meeting recently I gave your book, BEVERAGE ALCOHOL to the local preacher and he was most happy to receive it. In fact, he had been dealing with this problem and he was glad to have additional material to use in his study. If we should never meet in this life, by God’s Infinite Grace, we shall meet in eternity in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your friend and brother in Jesus, Raymond Elliot

Dear brother Rushmore;  I commend you for your recognition and honoring of brother Raymond Elliott. I, like you, have never met him personally but have corresponded with him for years, have a number of his writings on my websites and have used a number of them in my weekly ezine. To me, he is the epitome of a Christian. I would love to meet him and his wife, and I know that one day I will, even if not here on this earth.  In Christ, Joel Hendon

Louis, Many thanks for so expeditious a reply...and good to hear. I sometimes fear that I trust my instincts too much but they rarely fail me. I have no reservation about you and that's a good feeling. Sadly, the same is not true of many of my brethren. I love them but I don't place much faith in some of them. Yours is a labor in the vineyard for the duration. ...Good luck with the publishing. Someone, somewhere shall derive benefit after we are gone if only such items are kept available. "He being dead yet speaketh." Fred D. Whitelaw

I am writing to let you know that I am 59 years old and going to college. I am with your help going to use your article to talk about the changing roles of men and women. I know that God has set rules that govern our houses, but like you I too am glad I can and do vote whenever it is time. I have to do a journal for my reading class on the changing roles of men and women. I also want to show that there is still a God in this world and we must respect Him. This will not be the first journal I have brought up the name of Jesus or of God in. I wish to thank you for letting me use your message to show how man and woman's roles have not changed in the world. That woman must let man lead us to God and Heaven. Thank you, June M. Courtemanche

I'm excited and happy in receiving the "Gosel Gazette". Thank you. Brother in Christ, Ron Reynolds

Dear Bro. Rushmore, Someone just sent me a link to the Gospel Gazette Online because there was an article in the March 2005 issue called "Glimpses of Glory" that I had originally written for the Christian Bible Teacher. I didn't even know that any of my articles were on "the Web." It was quite exciting to see it, and later to read your Guest Book and see that it was read by people all over the world! Thank-you very much for including my work in your publication. If you would like other articles, I would be glad to send some to you. God bless you. With Christian love, Tami Coble Brown

...What I am saying is that you are EVIL. Clearly you despise females and are narcissistic. ...You are delusional as well as mentally, emotionally and most decidedly spiritually unbalanced. Seek help as soon as you can. You are a detriment to humanity and stand in the path of progress and block the light of truth. It is advised that in the interim that you cease to spread anymore of your rotten words and hate-the world needs to recover and heal. You are a step in the wrong direction. [anonymous]

Dear brother Rushmore, I want to thank you again for using my articles. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you for your article, NONALIGNED. I think that in some measure it is one of your best in that you touched on the reason why so much division exists in our brotherhood. I have been on the Board of Regents for Southern Christian University (Now Regions University) since 1973 but my allegiance belongs to Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord. May God continue to bless your labors of love in His kingdom. Your brother in Jesus, Raymond Elliott

Louis: Just a note to tell you I deply appreciated the "Nonaligned" article. Personally, I think it would make a great series, though perhaps many enemies as well. Then again, I guess that would prove the point. Great article, as always! Ed Benesh
