Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS! Here we are again, racing the test of the
Christmas shopping season. Just as our revitalized Television
program is beginning to take hold on the public---just as we enter
the stiffest crisis of this financial tight squeeze, we come to the
season when people FORGET their gifts for Christ and His work, and
embark on a shopping spree, exchanging gifts among themselves!
That's the terrifying crisis we face this hour! This week,
I am having to consider the possibility of dropping Television
altogether. If we do have to drop it, it means cutting off our
ONLY door God has opened to us thru which this great work may grow.
It means the work will then gradually dwindle, go down---and OUT!
And right now---THINK OF IT!---just as we are on the threshold of
the BIG TV season, when more people are watching---just as we are
learning how to use it to attract a bigger and bigger audience---
just as it is about to TAKE HOLD!
Co-Workers, what are we going to do about it? Shall we
wilt, before this supreme challenge? Shall we be discouraged, lose
faith, shirk the grave responsibility God has laid on every one of
us? Shall we GIVE UP, and let the work of God die?
Let every one of us answer with a ringing NO!!
Listen, dear Co-Workers! This is the supreme challenge,
but THERE IS A WAY TO MEET IT! We don't need to lose courage,
faith, or zeal. Did you notice that I addressed this letter to you
as a Co-Worker WITH Christ? Maybe you never realized it, but
that's precisely what God has called you to be---a Co-Worker WITH
Christ! Not just a worker FOR Christ, but a fellow-worker WITH
Him! Do you realize He is working with us?---That Christ Himself
is our Co-Worker?
Christ is not dead. What do you think Jesus Christ is
doing TODAY? He is ON THE JOB, night and day! He's in heaven, on
the very throne of God, at the right hand of the Father. That's
the Supreme HEADQUARTERS of this great work. That's the Throne of
GRACE! Christ is there for YOU and for ME as our High Priest, and
as HEAD of this work.
If you are truly a Christian, you are a child of God, and
