Proverbs 28:13He who conceals his sins does not prosper,but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

IntroductionI have labored with the hope that this document, in addition to the previous two, willserve your soul, Sovereign Grace Ministries, and most of all the gospel. I remaingrateful for the many years I was blessed by God to serve in your company and thecompany of so many people I love and respect. What follows is an expression of mylove for you, my former friends, and the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.I

While I appreciated the restatement of personalpride in your second response, the issues addressed remained narrow in scope whencompared to the wide range of moral issues I brought to your attention. Furthermore,you again expressed no desire, and no need for a public confession to the movement or
