Jan 1987 - Editorial

It may be true to say that another year has gone by, but the heavenly annals of 1986 will be by no means trite. Among its possibly more minor entries will be the fact that, under the good hand of God, 192 pages of Needed Truth have been penned by dedicated writers, copied by typists, pored over by editors, carefully type-set and run off by printers, despatched by willing helpers. But has there been any spiritual benefit? This is our prayer, but such things are largely hidden from us, although some readers have been kind enough to write and express their appreciation. Editors take this opportunity of expressing grateful thanks to all who have played such a willing part in the production of the magazine.

Increasingly the Christian feels the pressure of the evil world around him and the hopelessness of finding help in the realm of a christendom which has largely rejected the Bible as our sole guide for this present life. So editors feel it is appropriate to examine afresh the subject of separation from the world and from false teaching. A good understanding of what the Scriptures teach on this matter will surely help us to hold a proper relationship with the world around us and to maintain a strong Christian witness. We trust that, under God, this year's main series 'Bible Principles of Separation" will be helpful to our readers.
