Dear Fellow Believers,
I am not aware that these audios from the Toronto addresses have ever been published. At the time,
I did not realize their value. I shipped them to Rodney anyway. Listening (and watching) twenty-two years later, I am overwhelmed by the passion. This address stands out especially.
A man named George Apic organized these talks two months after 9/11. My intention was to speak on God's purpose in evil. George was appalled and, really, embarrassed, at the low turnout. He had plastered flyers all over
the city. But how many people really care about the true God? How many want to hear that God is the creator of good as well as of evil and that, in the end, God will be justified in all that He does?
The low turnout only inspired me. I remember thinking at the time: A low turnout? It didn't matter. I told George that. The people who were there had a divine appointment, and they were going to get an
earful. Boy did they.
What started as a dissertation on the purpose of evil became, in this address, an impassioned heralding of God's purpose of salvation and the far-reaching consequences of the cross. Perhaps I was overcompensating for the scarce attendance? Or perhaps proving to myself that it didn't matter if there were two people in attendance or twenty-two thousand. The work here is set forth,
as always, unto the Lord.
This is one of the best videos to send to those in whom God has stirred even an inkling of curiosity to know Him. The true God is heralded. God sealed this talk from start to finish. I cannot commend it enough.
Thanks once again (this is an understatement) to Rodney Paris, without
whom these addresses would still be languishing in a storage unit in Canton, Ohio.
Additionally, Rodney attaches an early ZWTF video (ZWTF #92) from January of 2019 at the end, titled, "The Fine Print on God's Contract." These eleven minutes are every bit as valuable as the preceding quarter-hour. I promise that you will be happily astounded at the finale, as you discover how the fine print in God's
"contract" with humanity elaborates upon, not hidden fees or complicated "catches," but even more blessings and bonuses than explained in the standard salvation "pitch."
Thank you to all my friends and loved ones in the body of Christ—which is all of you. You have faithfully support this work and the worker of the work for thirty years. May this presentation bless you beyond your expectations, just as
God blesses us beyond ours.
From the edge of the bottom of the Floridan peninsula,
