I have tried in vain to get people to talk with these blogs.

I thought you were like me... excited about all the wonderful truths about the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel.

I was wrong.

I thought that people would appreciate the fact that this is a free ministry and that folks actually understood what Christ meant when He commanded that we live one another as He loved us; that is, the Elect bearing one another's burdens. Not handing over money, but the burden of living in an antichrist generation. Helping with the struggles of our sin nature.

Talking with one another.

I was wrong.

Not about all that I've just said about what it means to be a true Christian; but rather, that after 6, almost 7 years with you who have downloaded and streamed, that you would even be interested in treating this ministry like a physical, real church. Where people come to me and seek to know about the how's and why's of things. Like you would a "traditional pastor".

I was wrong.

I finally get it. I'm only here to provide a free service while the rest just take, and take, and take some more.

I know that some will say, "he's a wicked man. He's beating the sheep".

Truly, the love of many has grown so cold, that there really is no love at all.

People who read books for years in the Jesuit controlled seminary system for 4 or more years, and go along with the established system, get degrees in theology.

Duane Linn, who rejected the "business model of Christianity and the prerequisite tithing scheme to rip off widows and orphans" doesn't get the same respect as the Jesuit schooled hirelings do.

Well, that's ok. The Lord knows.

I have conducted this ministry in truth and transparency. I've allowed you to see me, a seriously flawed man, struggle through the Christian walk. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

After this ministry is concluded, I will leave it for a time. After which, when I'm gone, only God knows.

I didn't do this for any other reason but for the glory of God.

I will speak no more to you except that which I read.

My conscience is clear.

I will no longer refer to myself as "brother Duane"; but just DAL.

I hope that the Lord Jesus Christ will purge the frigidity from your hearts and teach you what a Christian should be; for i am only a man and I have failed.

Thank God that He cannot fail.
