People are like tea bags – you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are.

With this issue of Gospel Gazette Online we complete the first year of its publication on the Internet. We appreciate immensely the support of both writers and readers over these past 12 months. Your suggestions and other constructive criticisms whereby we may be able to improve upon this literary effort are humbly solicited. It is our earnest desire that through this tool we may be able in some small way to contribute to the useful service of Christ. We realize that as long as these archived pages remain available, they have the potential of doing good indefinitely anywhere on the planet wherever a precious soul has access to the Internet.

Permit me to encourage Christian men and women to send us good teaching articles for possible inclusion in the pages of Gospel Gazette Online in the upcoming year. For some, writing is an opportunity to participate in a useful way in the service of Christ and derive some personal gratification that may not be attainable locally for them. For others, writing is an opportunity to give broader exposure to an already vigorous Christian service, and an extension of that service that is more enduring. Please send articles of 1200 to 1500 words in length, accompanied by a brief biographical sketch and a color photograph. Send submissions to rushmore@gospelgazette.com or Louis Rushmore, 4325 Southeast Drive, Steubenville, OH 43953-3353. ~ Editor
