"Dub" Dellinger Age 95 Truth Truth, one word. We can speak for hours, and if the truth is not found, it is not worthwhile. Before we were Christian Believers. We were recognized as Truth Believers. Going back to the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ as Saviour of all mankind. Before he resurrected him- self from the grave, there were some doubters in the crowd. They could not see him lower himself as he did. They wanted to see him as a king setting on the throne. Then they would recognize him as a leader. Some would then brag on him. No matter how good or how bad they spoke of Jesus He held the rings and he carried out the truth. The Jews had a Passover start- ing 14th day of the month and for seven days they would eat no bread that had leaven in it. Jesus comes upon a group sitting and using the temple as a store for profit. Jesus immediate- ly put together some small chords and made himself a small scourge. Then he said what they had done was make a cattle barn out of it. Jesus poured out the money. Jesus was so angry because were using the building for business. We must watch out about this happening. Outside yes, the writer way back in the early forties, as a young man joined every man in the church with a trade to make money for the church School. Each independent and out of the church.
