An Introduction To 'Chaplain's Corner '
By TERREL V. WITHERRITE
May I introduce myself?
First and formost, I am a God
called preacher, who believes the Bi
ble "must be" read daily, studied
consistantly, believed entirely and
lived continuously.
Bible salvation is by "faith alone,"
(Eph. 2:8-9) it brings complete
forgiveness, reconciles mankind to
God, gives new life, imparts true
spiritual understanding and provides
the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The church is not a building, or any
one denomination; but is made up of
>11 regenerate persons from
Pentecost to the first resurrection, (1
Cor. IS: 52) united together and into
Christ the Holy Spirit, (1 Cor. 12:
12-23). As such, the church is a holy
temple of the habitation of God, (Eph.
I: 21-22) is one flesh with Christ,
(Eph. 5: 30-31) is espoused to Him as
i chaste virgin to one husband, (2
Dor. II: 2-4) and will be translated to
Fteaven at the return of the Lord
TerrelV.

my Paratroopers, 1960 through 1970,
was saved at age 19, ordained a
deacon while stationed in Germany,
called to preach in 1965, licenced in
19S7, and ordained Jan. 3, 1976.
My wife, Alice, and I presently
reside here on Stoney Knob Road, out
of Weaverville. We have two grown
daughters and five grandchildren.
From February 1971 through June
1973 we had a ministery with a group
of senior citizens at Aston Park
Towers, Asheville. From July 1973
through June 1980 1 pastored two dif
ferent local churches. From July 1900
through August of 1965 we were
traveling missionary evangelists,
mainly near military installations all
over the United States, traveling in a
motor home.
Presently, I pastor the Bartlett
Arms Community Church, a small
group of senior citizens in Asheville.
My wife and I go to the Buncombe
County Jail weekly to minister to
those interested.
I am a bibical counseler and health
products dealer, ministering to "The
Whole Body" by making myself
available as needed and as directed
by the Lord.
My column will, as time goes on,
cover a varied number of subjects, all
centered in scripture and I believe
helpful to many readers of Hie News
Record.
