I was a young man in those days and Max was about 10 years older
I recall the time that we were in the process of purchasing a meeting
Hall from a free-group. Some of us young zealots would go frequently to
See this pastor or to attend his meetings simply for the reason to beat him
With a Christ vs religion bat. At first it was an attempt to convince him
Of "the more perfect way". But when he did not take the bait we made
It a point to let him know how dark and dead he and his congregation
Were. I also recall when some of us young brothers worked together
At a factory. We would often wear our gospel robes and march in.
Eventually this became a judgement hall for the sins committed by our
Unbelieving co-workers. While we did save a couple of people, most
Of the workers hated our superiority and our exposing their sins.

So for me I am just as guilty as anyone for not obeying The Lord as I
suppose most of us were to some degree.
To this I truly repent. But praise The Lord He is truly merciful
And all loving.

Today I am confident that He will complete the work
He has begun in me until the day of His appearing. I enjoy Him and love
Him so much more now then at any other time of my life. I see my High
Priest sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for me to save
Me to the uttermost for His glorious Kingdom. I see a Christ who loved me
And mercifully pulled me out of my own vomit. I can honestly say that my
Past life may have been more sinful than what Max reveals about himself
I fell back into the world head first after leaving the movement. Each decade
Became worse and worse until I was close to death. Then one day a few years
Ago The Lord came to me.

My dear sweet loving Lord I love you with my soul. I present my body
To you as a living sacrifice for you to will and do in me for your good
Pleasure
