OUR FAVORITE LINKS, page 1

DISCLAIMER: When you visit these site links, you are leaving our site and we obviously have no control over another site’s content. These sites have many articles, essays, texts and interpretations. We present them in order to assist those who are interested in finding out more information than we can provide at this time, as we are still in our initial growing stage. We may not agree with or endorse every view expressed in some of the articles on these site links. If comments about some topics seem to differ markedly from what you’ve read on our site, we suggest you go to the scripture" to prove all things". The Bereans did this in Acts 17:11, "There were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily whether those things be so." We back up our articles with scriptures.

We also make available additional resources for those of our visitors engaged in Biblical study and research who will benefit by using Biblical Research “supersites” – those sites which provide a wealth of material on many topics in one place. In particular, the 4 large sites at the bottom of the link list undoubtedly contain a number of texts which we do not agree with, believe in or endorse in any way, but are included because these sites contain a vast array of historical and other research sources for the Biblical scholar available in one place that are worthy of examination. Some of these sites give the amateur or beginning scholar who has no way to visit the great book collections of Biblical or religious works access to the same rare texts as the professional or wealthy scholar has, and these sites are provided, in part, for that reason.

This is a letter written by Mr. Cormany after the site had grown beyond what we imagined it would. The number of visitors has grown tremendously since then, which would make him very happy, but the problem he speaks of in this letter remain. We are putting this here, out of the way, so as not to make any of our visitors feel they must donate, they certainly do not. But any who feel moved to do so, know we appreciate it immensely and we will put it to good use ONLY on this website. Nowhere else. Thank you for visiting.

FROM THE DESK OF THE FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF HERALD MINISTRIES :

Several people have asked us about our commitment statement that everything we offer on our web site is absolutely free with no follow-ups asking for money.

How, they ask, can you do all of this for free? Well, on paper we can't. The laws of finance tell us we can't. However, we have witnessed for our Lord and Savior for 15 years under this commitment, and He has supplied our needs.

Yet there comes a time when machines break down and have to be repaired or replaced, there are the costs of increasing the effectiveness of our messages both audio and printed, which require different talents and reimbursement to others.

In our 3 years online, we have gone from a handful of printed articles to 60+, we began a free audiocassette tape program, we now offer streaming audio sermons that can be listened to within minutes of being added to our audio page and our printed articles can now be read in seven other languages besides English. All of these have added to our costs, and yet when an opportunity presents itself, how do we decline if it's at all possible to go ahead?

New doors will open for us. Will we be able to walk through those doors? We certainly hope that we can, but at present, unless God provides us with the needed funds, those doors will close before we are able to walk through them.

We can go to the book of Revelations, chapter 3 where Christ is addressing the Philadelphia Church. Rev. 3:7 "These things saith He that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth. V. 8 I know thy works. Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast little strength and hast kept my word, and hath not denied my name."

We believe we are a part of that church and that work, if only a small part, and that we are walking through the door that Christ set before us.

We do accept donations and offerings to help continue this work, but they are not required for you to receive what we offer.

In any event, we would welcome your prayers for this witness, asking that God will lay it upon the hearts of those who are able, to supply the help we need.

Sincerely in Christ's Service,

Harold E. Cormany, Elder and Minister
