“want you to know that I have not given my life to a fairy tale. This work is not a joke we are trying to play on someone. As the Apostle Peter said, “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). This gospel is not a “cunningly devised fable,” as some accuse it of being. That idea offends me; it is an insult to me. I was not born yesterday. During the course of my life, I have read several books; I have been to two or three good schools; I even had the privilege of presiding over a good school. Along the way, I have met kings and queens, princes, and prime ministers. So, this is not my first rodeo, as they say; I am not foolish enough to go off on some wild-goose chase. Rather than racing around the world at my age, I could be home, doing whatever it is that people do when they are octogenarians. So why am I not home? It is because this is the very Church and kingdom of God on earth. I will say that until I have no breath left in my lungs or words upon my lips to say it. This is not “a cunningly devised fable.” It is God’s very truth!”
