I WANT YOU!

N
inetyandnine Editor Issues Provocative Proclamation!

Click here to read for yourself the personal statement and challenge of of our own ninetyandnine.com editor regarding the writing void evident in our ranks as Apostolics. Are we content with pumping out the same old notes via House Organ, and are we succeeding in the mission of reaching others by filling all our publications with defensive stances on doctrine? I thought about this for a moment, and estimated I spend the following amount of time per subject during conversation with non-apostolic folk:

Relating some aspect of my testimony: 50%

Persuading them to relinquish bad habits: 20%

Challenging them to think on a God plane: 20%

Assuring them I will personally pray for their need:10%

Arguing doctrine with them: 0%


And so, I am challenged by Mr. Curry to take my persuasive conversation and thoughts and put them to paper. I was not only challenged by his article but also shamed by my lack of time developing my writing (but blog photos instead), and my inconsistencies in the craft.

I agree it is high time to end the era of prairie romances and wake up to the 21st Century and our current state of affairs and problems. Who will rise to this challenge? Where is our talent hiding in apostolic ranks? When will you and I present our literature to an ever-reading World?

You said it, Mr. Curry: it is time.
