With thanksgiving to God we present to you another issue of Sword and Shield. The writers in this issue are all familiar to you by now. In addition to the three regular editors, we again welcome Rev. Stuart Pastine to our pages.

We are planning one more issue of the magazine this calendar year. On or around December 15, we will publish a special issue commemorating the annual meeting of Reformed Believers Publishing. We believe that the publication of the speeches from that evening, along with some photos of the event, will make for a sound and edifying issue. If you find yourself with any extra time over the holidays, we hope the extra issue will help you fill it profitably.

A hearty thank you to those who have submitted letters. We plan to have a special letters edition in the next couple of months. Keep the letters coming, and thank you for your patience as we compile them into a special issue.

May God speed the truths written herein to your heart and the next issue into your hands.
