Sunday Evening Guest Speaker: Gospel Can Change Anyone

May 1, 1971 – June 1, 1971
Mechanicsville
Philadelphia, PA.

Guest speaker, whom Jack refers to as Harold, on Sunday evenings at a nearby church disagreed with Jack's assertion that the gospel could change anyone. Date uncertain, three Sunday nights in May 1971.

Later that night, while drinking tea with Rose Marie and a WTS student, Jack asked himself: " Was I willing to take the risks that such confidence required? Would I, for instance, welcome people who were suicidal to our church? I need to pray. I don't think the others in the room had any idea of the collision of values going on within me.

I had seen how the gospel had radically had radically transformed the life of Roberta Peace.

I then committed to a taking the principle that the gospel can change anyone who will take it to heart.

What was happening to me is that I was beginning to shed my own ingrowness.
