Too my surprise/chagrin I was expecting a revisiting of the hard-hitting ultra con newsletter of yesteryear, the Apostolic Contender - or as we called it ... the Apostolic Contention.
|
I am VERY happy to hear this as well! By the way, in Wisconsin it was generally known as the Contentious Contender from the good folk in Portland where I believe it was published.

Maybe they think we're not quite reprobate and there is still hope for us.
I think my copy came Monday.

I especially loved the diatribes on long sideburns ... as they were in vogue among young men in Pentecost ... back in the day.

In perusing through the articles there were no blatant attacks on those that don't keep standards ... and I did not see one mention of TV.
The articles appear to be inspiring, uplifting and appealing to ministerial ethic and integrity. Pastor Carroll wrote a cutesy anecdote about an old hat of his ... while Pastor Groce outlined a well-rounded conservative minded agenda with a focus on fellowship and unity in his Editor's letter.
I would say most of the articles were bible-based and theological in nature. There was one article that was either a re-print, or anonymously written, etitleld: What a Legalist is Not ... it took a few swipes at the "greasy grace abusers" but was relatively soft ... I agree w/ almost all of the points made.
There is also a good bible study on the Cities of Refuge that I will examine in more detail ... it appears to be a bit too PAJC for my taste.
In all, this is not your Daddy's Apostolic Contender ... at least not yet.
It is nicely packaged, well-formatted, well-written and COMPASSIONATE.
Kudos for not touching the TV issue weeks before General Conference and not seeming to have an agenda.
Time will tell.
Keep up the good work ... fellas. I'm proud of you.

I appreciate the honest review, Dan. And...I do think your respect for the men you have engaged on this forum who are a part of the Compass is showing through.
We wanted an unashamedly conservative magazine with no political agenda at all. We appreciate your perspective confirming that we are reaching that goal.

I will second Dan's opinion after recieving mine also..
It is very well done for the first issue...
I look forward (No Pun Intended  ) to more...
I also want to say that I have been privilidged to be a member of another forum these fine men post on and while there the same spirit that published this magazine also resides online among them.... I haven't seen any "trash" talk or name calling against other forums and I commend and respect them for that.. most of what I have experienced is men who love the Word of God and enjoy discussing it..
