Dear Sword & Shield readers,

I am from PRCA sister church, and am very keen to learn what bible really teaches regarding the place of good works in our salvation, so I had been reading up SB, 2018 Synod’s decision, researching in the internet, etc. After Synod 2018, there were editorials in the SB that contained slightly different views, and there were subsequent letters that point out the erroneous views. But the letters and editorials on this topic stopped without any conclusion on what is SB’s stand on this vitally important doctrinal issue. Thus, I appreciate very much that another magazine has been started to educate God’s people, even across the globe, on this important doctrinal issue. If PRCA members do not want to read Sword & Shield, please let it survive for we from afar learnt alot from it and we do not have as many wholesome spiritual food as you all…

I noted from PRCA Facebook group that there were comments about the secretive nature of this magazine, its organisation and its editor’s motives which put people off from reading its contents. I could not resist to join in the discussions, though I normally do not like to post my comments in FB. This letter is a sharing of my comments in PRCA Facebook group. Also, to avoid any misunderstanding of how I got to know about Sword & Shield, it’s not through any recommendations from any of the editors; it’s through the same PRCA Facebook group where the adverse comments were started. We know the editor as a godly man of integrity who ministered to us in Singapore for 5 years; and some of his remarks stuck with me, like “Our life is not about us, it’s about God”. He is very God-centered, and I don’t think he has any personal agenda in this magazine. I opine that God has laid this burden in his heart, and he writes with no other motives than the love for God and His people. I don’t think there is anything secretive about this magazine and the organisation. I am not a member, yet I could attend online from across the globe their annual meeting in an open-air car park. And the speeches at the meeting were very edifying, no man-centred agendas, it’s all about God and His truth.

Yours sincerely in Christ,

Sister See Leh Wah
