TBC,
Unbelievable to me…that Dave Hunt and his wife passed away and [I’ve only] discovered this at the end of March 2015. He has been a remarkable resource in my life with his books and programs [to deepen] my understanding of God’s Word. Dave Hunt is such a pearl, a treasure in a sea of lukewarm preaching….His messages, through the love of Jesus Christ, will stand the test of time. I will so miss him. EA (email)

To my...TBC friends-in-Christ,
Yes, we aspiring Bereans have a duty to confirm everything by carefully searching the Scriptures (Acts:17:11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
See All...); yet, we are also biblically admonished to “swallow” any “milky” interpretation in order to allow complete digestion—even if bitter—of the actual “meat” of the Word (Hebrews:5:11-14 [11] Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. [12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
See All...). Pastor Mark Biltz has NOT departed from a textually exacting theology when explaining our Savior’s Jewish roots (Luke:3:23-38 [23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, [24] Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, [25] Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, [26] Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, [27] Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, [28] Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, [29] Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, [30] Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, [31] Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, [32] Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, [33] Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, [34] Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, [35] Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, [36] Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, [37] Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, [38] Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

See All...), thereby lightening our “yoke” and pointing to the nearness of Yeshua’s prophetic testimony, which is the very expression of His Spirit (Rev:19:10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
See All...). Pastor Biltz uses “Rembrandt brushwork” rather than “crayon scribbles” to draw our attention to the “meatier” meanings in the Bible, to its peace and spirit (not obligation) of worship, which he presents humbly, as a deeply sincere and honest offering—certainly NOT as “a little leaven” or by “agenda,” as was egregiously reported in an otherwise accurate TBC newsletter.

Dear Tom,
You have given me a chance to be a Berean, and the more I [immerse] myself in the Word, it is truly beautiful [to see] how God reveals things to me at the perfect time. There have been so many questions in my spirit and mind, but [I am no longer amazed by] the answers and gifts I receive—not the material kind, but just like the birds who are taken care of—I now know without a doubt that I am always in His hands.

Dear Tom,
I have never taken the time to write a letter of thanks from our hearts for your help in keeping the body of Christ, of which we are a part, on the narrow path. A friend introduced me to The Berean Call over ten years ago, and my husband and I have looked forward to receiving it every month since. Never stop! Your research is invaluable to us all. We can never thank you enough. God bless you and the entire staff. May He keep you in this work. D&AH (FL)
