•xeeping Current• With this issue of the •pastor General's Report• we
are pleased to be able to begin offering a new service to the ministry
in the form of a copy of the Ambassador College Library's monthly
publication titled •Keeping Current.• •Keeping Current• will be a one­
page insert included in your PGR envelope. It will serve to update you
on articles of interest from current periodicals, as well as newly
released books. This will save you some leg and
eye
work of seeking
out relevant research materials for sermon and Bible study preparation.
Please realize, however, that the Library cannot provide copies of
these materials for you. The purpose of •Keeping Current• is to make
you aware of what is available so that you can obtain the material you
may be interested in from a newsstand or from your local library.
Keep in mind that we do not, of course, necessarily endorse the views
or facts presented in any of the books or articles mentioned. •Keeping
Current• is merely an announcement bulletin. It is not an •official
list• of •approved• or •sanctioned• books and articles. I hope that is
clear. (I do not want to find that someone is propounding some point
or subject from an article they saw mentioned in •Keeping Current• and
then saying that the Church must have somehow approved of or agreed
with the contents. The Church agrees with nothing except that which
agrees with God's Word.)
We appreciate the efforts of Dr. Richard Walther in having this
material compiled for our use.
Pocket calendars Included with this issue are two
1986
pocket calen­
dars, which give the dates of each of the Holy Days for the upcoming
year. I hope you will find these useful.
Prayer Updates I am sorry to have to inform you that Mr. and Mrs. John
Moskel's 3-year-old daughter, Molly, died this past Tuesday, December
17, from leukemia. Funeral services were planned for Friday morning
in Wilmington, North Carolina.

The Moskels have expressed their
heartfelt appreciation for the
concern and prayers on their
behalf through this trial. It has
now been determined that their two
sons, Jesse, age 9, and Benjamin,
age 6, also have beginning stages
of the same disease.
Let's all
continue to pray earnestly for the
Moskels, that God will comfort
them and that He will intervene to
totally heal their sons.
