Dear Fellow Believers,

I like these five shows better than I've liked the first twenty. I was just learning how to broadcast on my own. At this time, I'd finally finished playing with the audio toys at my disposal, finished worrying about sounding slick and funny, and got down to what I do best, which is heralding the truth straightforwardly. This doesn't mean I'm not still amusing.

I love the themes here: 1) to be living is Christ, 2) making oneself at home in "God's house," at His invitation, 3) how our works have been planned beforehand and God directs our steps but we still get credit for doing these works, 4) Christians putting words in God's mouth to make the stupidest unscriptural points ever, 5) me answering a critic who says I'm arrogant and over-confident. Fun stuff.

I love the '50's and '60's images that Rodney runs throughout these broadcasts. A simpler time. A better time. It was a time when men were allowed to admire beautiful woman. Along that line, there are many beauties on display here from the 50's and especially the 60's. To me, this is a ultra-fine sugar helping one digest the medicine of truth. What a wonderful and effective combination: the truth of God and the beauty of His premier creation. What's not to like? Enjoy it. Anyone who objects to a graphic parade of feminine beauty ought to join the Amish religion and dress everyone in dark blue and black. Shave your mustaches as long as you're at it; this goes for women, too. Ah—but I am persuaded of better things concerning you.

So—great video, Rodney. Great music in-between shows as well. Nice short shows, Zender. Great job, Martin, for focusing on the truth and making brief yet important points, speaking colloquially to all interested parties concerning the ways and means of God. (I really do feel like I'm speaking to myself from a bygone era. I do recognize that guy, but he's been turned inside-out so many times since then that it's a notable miracle that he's still broadcasting twenty-four years after recording these ZenderTalks.

And thank YOU, the viewers and listeners, for supporting this work so faithfully for thirty-one years. None of this could have happened without you.

Remaining yours from the edge of the bottom of the Floridan peninsula,

—Martin
