Our 100th Issue
This issue of Expository Files marks a milestone for us. This is our 100th
monthly issue. Warren and I have worked well together (if being separated by
1000 miles can be called "working together"). Every issue has been out on time
(assuming that this issue makes it on time also, which, due to recent computer
problems, is not necessarily a given).
The following is a reprint of my coeditor's opening remarks from that first
issue, made back when were both just young fellows (of course, we still are).
EXPOSITORY FILES 1.1
January, 1994
Edited by Warren E. Berkley & Jon W. Quinn
Welcome to a unique publishing adventure, EXPOSITORY FILES. This electronic
magazine will be compiled monthly by Warren E. Berkley (McAllen, Texas), and Jon
W. Quinn (Bradley, Ill.). Our intent is to upload articles with emphasis on the
exposition of Scripture. Four or five articles will appear in each issue.
Journalistic efforts often evolve in content and material, depending upon the
needs of the time. But this is a our starting point. We want to offer articles
which are simple, true to the Scriptures, and easy to read.
The writers are members and preachers of churches of Christ all across the
country. We share a common concern, that Biblical instruction should be
followed. We believe, in every dispensation there is the urgent need to follow
whatever instructions we have from God. Today, we have the New Testament.
To send us your comments, you may reach the editors through E-Mail.
Each issue will be numbered in computer style, 1.1, 1.2, etc. This first issue
(Jan., '94) is 1.1 for example; the last issue of this year will be 1.12, etc.
We are not entering into this project to make money, raise money or to compete
with print media. Both editors write for other print publications. Our motive is
to provide Biblical teaching for on-line computer users.
Feel free to upload EXPOSITORY FILES into local BBS networks. And, if you want
your friends and associates to have a copy, regard this as freeware; load it
onto a disk and pass it on.
"And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is
able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified." (Acts 20:32, KJV).
