Epilogue
To the non-Christian, I thank God that you visited this website. There is a God. He does relate to man. He has written the Bible to man in order to tell us how He does it. I was in the same situation as you until age 50, then 13 years ago, He saved me and called me to His purposes. Since then, He has prepared me to be an ambassador to reveal Him to you. In these teachings, I have presented God’s answers and perspectives to the points that I previously used to argue against Him. Now I pray for your eternal salvation so that we spend eternity together in His presence. Simply accept these teachings for what they are, namely, a love letter from God through me to you.
To the Christian, I thank God for your salvation and that you visited this website. I pray that these teachings have kindled the flame of the gospel of Jesus Christ within you. May the process of transformation by the renewing of the mind with the truth of God continue in you until the goal of Christlikeness is reached. May the world know who Jesus Christ is by how we love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. If not on this earth, we will assuredly meet in heaven. Until then…..
Love,
From God, through Buddy, to you
P. S. Thanks to all who faithfully participated in the creation of this website and thus modeled how the church is to function. My beloved wife Susan encouraged and supported me, as well as made all of the posters used in this series. My daughter Amanda Ficek converted the majority of the posters into PowerPoint slides for the website. My son-in-law Jeremy Jones did the same for the rest of the posters. My son-in-law Scott Ficek created and administered the website. I give special thanks to Vicki Byers, the sister of one of our attenders. Although living at a great distance from us, she transcribed every single one of the 121 sessions, so that the teachings would be in written form for any who prefer that. I thank those who faithfully attended the sessions and soaked up the Word of God together. Simply having them present and listening encouraged me greatly. I thank Pastor Ed Bateman. Ed conceived the idea for the Bible study and faithfully attended. I thank Doug Laird and Skogman Realty for providing a place to meet.
All of the above functioned voluntarily, cheerfully, and without recompense on earth. May they receive an extra reward in heaven. Thanks and blessings to all……Buddy
