THIS IS THE EARLIEST RECORDING I HAVE OF STEWART TRAILL GIVING A "BIBLE STUDY." THINGS TO NOTE HERE: STEWART'S FOCUS IS ON WHAT HE UNDERSTANDS, NOT SO MUCH OF WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.HE IS IMPATIENT AT TIMES WITH NEW BELIEVERS. HIS PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL IS ODD IN RETROSPECT. THERE REALLY ISN'T THE GOSPEL OF COMING TO THE CROSS AND RECOGNIZING OUR SINFULNESS AND NEED FOR REPENTENCE AND FOR JESUS' FORGIVENESS. IT IS MORE "DOING THIS THING, AND THEN BEING A PART OF OUR THING." I WILL POST A RECORDING THAT HAS STEWART TALKING ABOUT WITNESSING AND ALSO WILL POST THE WITNESSING WORKBOOK. YOU WILL START TO SEE THAT IT'S NOT REALLY WHAT STEWART SAYS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS PLENTY REVEALED IN HIS ACTUAL WORDS, BUT HOW AND WHY HE IS SAYING IT. YOU WILL HEAR FROM THIS RECORDING AND THE RECORDING OF THE FIRST BIG MEETING OF THIS SAME YEAR 1973 THAT STEWART'S INTENT IS REALLY TO GET MEMBERS. THE VEHICLE, THE MEANS, IS THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS, KIND OF. BUT THE FOCUS IS GETTING MEMBERS FOR HIS GROUP. YES IT IS "HIS" GROUP. HE ASSUMED LEADERSHIP IN 1971. HE DID NOT START THE REVIVAL IN ALLENTWON. THE DESIGN OF THE FF WAS HIS, BUT GOD'S SALVATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN ALLENTOWN TOOK PLACE BEFORE STEWART SHOWED UP.
