My Testimony I am glad for the opportunity of sharing with you some of my ex¬ periences, let you look into my life and rejoice with me in the goodness of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I thank God for godly and pious parents, who by precept and constant practice, patience and compassion provided a home where love and respect for our fellowman, fear of God and a deep desire to please Him and serve Him was the everyday atmosphere. However, I did not know that a child could be saved, and consequent¬ ly faced many years of misery under fear of God’s righteous judgment, in spite of my early childhood peace with God. The deep settled peace of God became mine again when as a youth I gave my heart and life to the Lord at the first revival meetings I ever attended. The joy of the assurance of sins forgiven, and the thrill of fellowship with God restored was almost more than I could bear. This also gave to me the keen desire to be an instrument in the hands of God to give to others what I had experienced. Since then it has been my privilege to have been connected with various soul-winning endeavors, such as revival campaigns both in and out of churches, in halls, tents and so on, in the Bible Institute in preparing Christians to serve more fruitfully, and in different types of conference work. Looking back over the thirty five years of my Christian life, I can testify to the goodness of our blessed Master. I must confess that many times I have had to say Oh, that I had been more faithful. But I can also testify that the small measure in which I did serve the Lord has abounded in joy unspeakable, and makes me long for many more years in which to serve the Lord, if it be His will, and look for that blessed hope of His soon appearing. Ben D. Reimer - principal It is Written It is written , said Jesus. Jesus said these words when he was tempted of Satan. This was the primary weapon he had to combat the evil forces as they were being hurled upon him with all the dynamic and evil intent of Satan himself. All other arguments were futile. Only the written word of God was able to force Satan into the background and leave Jesus to conclude his ministry for which he had been sent by the heavenly Father. How potent the words, in that hour, it is written. Today men and women accept the authority of the printed page. A young person may advance a new thought and he may be questioned by others as to the validity of it. So he counters and says, I read it in a book. This seems to give to those who listen a sense of inadequacy to stand against something that has been written. Christians also find them¬ selves in a similar situation when reading various articles on the subject pertaining to their faith and living. The danger likes in the act that not all of those facts recorded and thoughts promoted are necessarily the truth according to God ' s Word. Yet the effect of, IT IS WRITTEN, remains. In the Bible Institute we desire to use this term in its highest and most influential sense. This is to consider it as what is written in God ' s Word. God ' s Word is the infallible truth revealed to us. Jesus said, It is written.
