A beautiful place to be

Gary Benfold

'Pwllheli is a beautiful place to hold a Christian Conference', I thought as we pulled in through the gates of the Haven Holiday Centre. 'If only it wasn't at the end of the world!'

I have loved the FIEC since well before I was a part of it. I love it for its commitment to the Truth: what other church grouping do you know that has actually strengthened its basis of faith in recent years? In a desert of doctrinal unfaithfulness, what an oasis that decision was! I love it because of its commitment to Christian love: it tries (and to a large degree succeeds) to make the gospel itself the basis of fellowship rather than other doctrines. And I love it for its annual conferences. This year's took place from April 26 to 30.

When a good man falls

Gary Benfold

I sat enraptured as the preacher completed his series on 2 Timothy. 'Guard the gospel' he'd called the series, and it was the first expository preaching I had ever heard. I was so thrilled at the power of the Word that I began to hope that, one day, I too might be able to give my life to preaching. I remember so well as the preacher reached 4.7 ('I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith' - we all used the AV in those days), he stepped back from the makeshift pulpit, looked around the room and said: 'When you're old, infirm and living in a rest-home and the students from the local Christian Union come to visit you, make sure you will be able to take their firm young hand in your frail old hand and fix their bright young eyes with your rheumy old eyes and say: "I have fought the fight; I have finished the race; there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness".'

There were times - many times - in those early days of my Christian pilgrimage when those words held me and brought me back to the road. I owe so much to that weekend's preaching; even now I'm profoundly moved as I recall it. It was more than 25 years ago; the preacher was Roy Clements, and it recently became public knowledge that he has left his wife for another man. How should we react?
