Rev. Dan Adams, Sr.

Welcomed to Heaven

March 19, 2008

Dan Adams...my best friend and one of the few pastors straight on the Gospel.  In fact, he was quite a contender for the "faith once de-livered to the saints," in the pulpit, everywhere he went, and on the printed page. 

Few people knew what an accom-plished writer Dan was. He never thought so,  but he surely was.  He had been writing articles for local newspapers refuting false doctrine and he sent them to me.  I really enjoyed reading them. 

He also had a correspondence going with certain teachers of the newest false doctrine Satan has coming out, the "crossless Gospel."  Actually, without the cross, you have no Gospel.  You have to accept the payment that Jesus Christ made on the cross to have eternal life.  Dan knew that. Dan had dedicated his life to keeping Scripture straight and making the Gospel clear and he was not going to let this go by unchallenged.  We had much conversation about this and other points of Scripture.

Dan has "rescued" me from the predicaments I have gotten into while hunting, put up with me when I just want to get away from things for a while, and has been my true Christian friend through "thick and thin."  He was the brother I never had.

Until we meet again, "When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be.

It's not "Good Bye"...

Just..."So Long,..

For a while."

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.    Wherefore comfort one another with these words."..." For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:    Not of works, lest any man should boast.

We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of these two great Servants of the Lord as they endeavor to carry on the work.

We also pray for the Directors, Speakers, and Counselors of this year's

Good News Bible Camp.  May they have a safe encampment and many souls for Heaven.

July 7 to 10 - Senior Camp

July 14 to 16 - Junior Camp

Danny "Barney" Adams, Jr

Welcomed to Heaven

March 16, 2008

When the Good News Bible Camp opens for its first day of fun this year, this friendly, personable young man will be greatly missed. 

Barney loved cooking at the camp because he was serving the Lord.  He was always ready to listen to a camper's memory verse, play with the kids, teach a lesson, or lead a child to the Lord.

He was a hard worker and logged in woods. Barney had many talents.  Who knew he could cook?  He also was a fine carpenter. 

As a friend of his commented, he lived by the seasons: elk season, deer season, bear season, and fishing opener.  But, with Barney, it was always open season to give out the gospel.  He was quite a man!

He was like a son to me.  We often had long conversations after hours at Barney's on The Bowstring, the resort which he and Julie operated.  He would never take a dime from me.  There was always a stack of Heaven Tracts by the cash register.  He didn't let his work or many interests get in the way of serving His Lord.

Barney's death would truly be a tragedy if he had not trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior.  That is why I know we'll meet again; then, "When we all see Jesus, We will all sing and shout the victory!"

Amazing Grace,

Shall always be my song of praise

For it was grace

That brought me liberty,

I do not know,

Just why He came to love me so

He looked beyond

My fault and saw my need
 

I shall forever

Lift mine eyes to Calvary,

To view the cross,

Where Jesus died for me -

How marvelous, His grace

That caught my falling soul -

He Looked beyond

My fault and saw my need.

(He Looked Beyond My Fault, Words by Dottie Rambo, The tune is "Danny Boy"  or "Londonderry Air').
