It has been about 12 years since I was taught the truth about hell, and 7 since I saw that God will save all mankind. From 1999-2006 I was a “pastor” of a small Church in Northern Illinois called Cross and Throne Bible Church. When I started teaching these truths, most of the congregation left because they preferred the eternal torment God. So, those of us who were left sold the building for 360-thousand dollars. We put the money in an account and decided to spend every dime for the evangel of grace.
In 2006 we embarked on this great task. I was on the radio in Chicago. In 2007 I was introduced to Martin Zender and we became fast friends. A friend of mine originally found his web site and sent me a link saying – “This guy is as crazy as you!” I gave Martin a call and we spoke for a long time. My friend was right! He is crazy! Martin invited me to his Willard OH conference in June of 2007 where we met in person for the first time (it was love at first sight!). I invited him to Chicago, and, as Paul Harvey used to say – Now you know the rest of the story. (I am grateful to God for bringing us together, Martin has taught me a lot about the true and living God. If you read this, I love you dearly brother! The worst moments of our travels together were when we would say goodbye at the airport and go our separate ways.)
In three years we spent over 300-thousand dollars on radio time (over 15 stations throughout the country), as well as equipment and other essential things to produce shows. We printed books, gave away free books (Concordant Versions, Companion Bibles, Zender Books, Concordant Commentaries etc…), traveled, and whatever else we could to get the message out.
Now it’s October 2011. We accomplished our task we set out to do in 2006. We spent every dime. So what now? I am dissolving Cross and Throne Ministries. It’s actually interesting to think that this will sever all ties from my past religious days of the God of eternal torment. But I am not done! I’m just getting started! I have a new website – www.SheridanVoice.com. or www.PaulsEvangel.com. With the money from Cross and Throne now gone, so is any income I had. I have been supporting my family mostly through the ministry the last 10 years. Now that the money is gone, I am going to find a “tent-making” job to help pay for our needs while I continue to write and record shows, and talk with people about the true and living God.
I will be posting all my stuff at SheridanVoice.com/PaulsEvangel.com from now on. I am no longer associated with a 501c3 organization. It’s just me. So, if your interested in donating, you will have to do it as a personal gift and trust that I will use it properly. I will use the funds for groceries, rent, and whatever tools I need to get the message out. This is my life and how I “make a living.” You can donate through paypal at my email address dan@sheridanvoice.com, or you can mail a check to me at 2141 N. Sioux Dr. Round Lake Heights IL 60073. My wife and I are living at that address for now. I will let you know if there are any changes.
In conclusion: It’s a liberating time for me. I feel that I am finally cut off from the past associations and the bad teaching about God. I am glad that we had the opportunity to sell a building that was used to misrepresent God for so many years and use the money to correct the misrepresentations.
I began this letter with the phrase – a new era has begun. In September of 2007 when Martin and I went to Ludington Michigan for the first time, I noticed a sign on route 31, just south of Ludington. The overpass sign read: “New Era.” I remember saying to myself: “Finally, a Concordantly translated sign! I am in a new era of life with this great message.”
One more thing. I am thankful to God for the man behind the scenes of my ministry – Tom Dell’Aringa. Tom is the guy who manages the website. He’s been with me from the very beginning going back to my religious self-righteous days in the early 90′s. We have been through a lot together. We went from hell-fire self-righteous idiots to rejoicing in the message we now proclaim! I love you Tom – even though I’m Irish and your Italian!
I have a full heart. I love you all so dearly! God is so good! I am glad to be floating down the sea of life with you all proclaiming the greatest message in the history of mankind. As Clyde Pilkington taught us in Sacramento this year – “It’s our turn now.” If you don’t know what that means, listen to his message, then you will understand. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and don’t sweat the big stuff either! God is alive and well! Nothing will separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! Nothing in our future will harm us! Rejoice! If only that had been in my heart my whole life. May it be in my heart all the rest of my days until I am snatched away!
Pray for us. Becky and I are thankful for you all. If you have any questions, please call me at 847-312-4676.
