- Dear Kittie,
- Thank you for your letter, which we received February 6 along
with your request for a comment on whether; George Bush is a
Christian. We apologize for the lateness of this reply, but our
volume of mail as well as our backlog of the same shows no sign
of diminishing.
-
- We do believe that George Bush is a genuine believer. We
also recognize that he is also not that old in the faith and
has had some doubtful influences in his Christian growth. Recently
the Public Broadcasting System aired a documentary on the faith
of George Bush. Their purpose was to alarm people with his "fanaticism,"
but a certainly unwilling consequence was the communication that
he did indeed have a saving encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
- We are concerned that you list Texe Marrs as a source for
your conclusions. Texe Marrs's work is rather sensational, and
his recent books continue to follow that vein. Mr Marrs in recent
years has shown an increasing tendency to promote Replacement
theology. He is not alone, as a number of mainline denominations
have long taught that the Church has replaced Israel.
-
- Replacement Theology does indeed teach that the church has
totally assumed Israel's role, something which is in direct contradiction
to the Word of God (Jeremiah 31:35-37).
-
- Both Dave and Tom are increasingly busy. To the monthly newsletter,
correspondence, and weekly radio broadcasts, ongoing audio and
video projects, one may add a growing number of outside speaking
engagements. Your prayers are certainly requested.
-
- Thank you again, and may God encourage and strengthen you
in these days.
