But this year they put their Bible Conference on-line and one of the speakers (Warren Smith) mentioned you (in fact, he had one of your booklets).He didn&#8217;t give your e-mail address, but he did mention your name and said he highly recommends you. I went to the computer and just put in &#8220;Lighthouse Trails&#8221; to see what would come up. Sure enough, it listed\u00a0your website! After going over some of your sample articles, I decided that yes, this is the type of information I want to be getting (especially with all the apostasy going on in the churches today)! I may even get your <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrails.com\/2036-research-journal\" target=\"_blank\">Lighthouse Trails Journal<\/a><\/em>\u00a0as well later on. In any case, I&#8217;m glad I found out about you people. I myself was raised in the church(Southern Baptist) and so I&#8217;m well-familiar with what you and the speakers of the Berean Call Bible Conference talked about (I&#8217;m also familiar with\u00a0a few of the people who write for you &#8211; Caryl Matrisciana, Jan Markell, and Warren Smith &#8211; However, most of the people who write for you I haven&#8217;t heard of. But it doesn&#8217;t really matter if I&#8217;ve heard of them or not; it&#8217;s the information (from God&#8217;s Word) that matters! So I look forward to getting your e-mails!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To Lighthouse Trails: Just wanted&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[475],"tags":[437],"class_list":["post-16065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters-to-the-editor","tag-letter-to-the-editor","wpcat-475-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
