What Happened at the Florida College Lectures

Harry Osborne

On Thursday, February 8, 2001, brother Donnie Rader had an excellent lecture on divorce and remarriage. I was both there to hear it personally and have a tape of the lesson. If you have not had an opportunity to hear the tape, please get a copy so that you can hear for yourself what was said.

With Volume XX, we adjusted our volume year to coincide with the calendar year, so actually our fiftieth year began in October 2005. Later this year, we plan a special issue to celebrate our fifty years of publishing Truth Magazine.

Born during the early years of the battle against institutionalism, especially for the purpose of battling some of the modernism showing itself in the Chicago area at that time, Truth Magazine set itself for the defense of the gospel from its inception. It was never intended to be a paper designed to reach the non-Christian, although much material has been published in our pages which is useful to non-Christians. Rather, Truth Magazine was born to discuss openly the issues troubling God’s people in that day.
