Letters to the Editor

Love It Every Time

Just back for a return visit to read the virtual magazine and catch up on the news. I rarely find the time to visit, but love it every time!

-- Margaret Forster, Hamilton, Bermuda

Should Help Reach People All Over the World

I have been very impressed with the Virtual Christian Magazine and wanted to thank you for all your efforts in getting this together for the Internet. It should certainly help reach people all over the world. We go to your web site often and always find it interesting and informative.

-- Joyce Coffey, Louisville, Kentucky

May Reach Some People Who Would Never Crack an Ordinary Bible

Virtual Christian Magazine is a great idea. You may reach some people who would never crack an ordinary Bible! This was the first time I had seen it. I read all three articles and will go back when I have time to read the back issues. I feel that the Internet is a great tool from God. Thanks for all the information you provide.

-- Sue Robbins

Happy to See Articles with Real Life Stories

I had to stay home from services today with a sick child so I took the opportunity to read a few articles in VCM. Thanks so much for putting this on-line magazine together. I am especially happy to see articles with real life stories included. James Dobson of Focus on the Family said years ago that he had discovered the way to "get to" the reader was to use stories of real people and the real experiences they have had. He has successfully used that method for over 25 years now and it is the reason I usually pick up Focus on the Family magazine. I know it will touch my heart and not just my intellect.

Dr. Dobson commented that he had found that going for the heart was effective with both men and women. I pray the Work can use this more often in all our publications. I especially commend your VCM writers for the following articles which grabbed my attention: "The Most Important Thing" by Mike Bennett. His description of Drew brought to mind my own similar experiences. "The Foster Child" by Josepth Camerata was also good in this regard.

Keep up the good work. Appreciate your heart for God and for people.

-- Debbie Bates, Bakersfield, California

Printing Your Articles and I Am Going to Share Them with Others

Thanks for making Virtual Christian Magazine available on the Internet!

I was a member of the church and stopped attending sabbath services for a couple of years because I was confused. Recently I met your representative here in the Philippines and I gladly join the United Church of God. Thank God!

I am printing your articles and I am going to share them to others.

-- James V. Presbitero, Philippines

Virtual Reality of Literature

Boy did I miss a lot! Ever since you became part of the "virtual reality" of literature, I have been trying to log on! Keep up the good work. I may be a "late bloomer baby boomer," but this makes all the problems I have with AOL billing well worth the effort!

-- Lynda Sollars

Miss the Point

Regarding the article "The Most Important Thing" by Mike Bennett, I believe that we focus on information, facts, figures so much, that we miss the point with respect to the big, big picture of God's love. Because we do, we think we have to cover every unique and important doctrine in every converstation we have.

In reality we need only focus on the crux of the issue; God exists, has a plan for mankind, Christ died for our sins as part of that plan and He loves all and desires us to be part of his family.

-- Marcus Brown, Garden Grove, California
