Hello in sharing these emails I am not saying that I endorse or appose everything or anything that each individual or church stands for. The reason for that is that I have not talked with each in detail. I am only sharing the support of others from around the world concerning this annual event. This certainly is not all of them by far. This does not include all of the great phone calls. It's just to bad that no one here locally is supporting us.

Dear Pastor Grizzard,
I would imagine that you are receiving an enormous amount of opposition concerning your upcoming book-burning event this Halloween. I’ve read some rather disgusting and slanderous commentaries about you and your congregation, but then, people who are ignorant of the truth have been lashing out at those daring to stand for the truth throughout history. And perhaps that’s because human nature as a whole prefers to dwell in darkness rather than light.
My support for the King James Bible is unwavering. All other versions not based on the Textus Receptus are indeed the works of Satan in his endeavor to demean our Lord Jesus Christ and undermine sound Biblical doctrine, and as such, they should all be burned without hesitation or regard to those who might be offended.
This is the first I’ve heard of anyone committing to such a venture, and I think it’s beyond admirable. I sincerely commend you in your efforts and, even though some believers-in-false-prophets may attack your virtue and credibility, I praise God for your courage and pray you stay the course and fight the good fight.

Hi Pastor,
Praise JESUS ! my name is Chris Williams and I have been greatly blessed by your website and i always listen to the sermons from various great men of GOD ,and i could find no were such great collections as you have on your website. Just a couple of days ago when i try to enter your website i found that the site was blocked,i felt really sad and i started praying for that and i was very happy to find the site functioning again today.But pastor i am not able to play the mp3 files as before, i tried so many times bit it is still not playing, and i noticed that the length of the file seems to be very small.I am eager to listen to the sermons preached by great men of GOD.I also have one more question i need to ask you,what do you think about christian fiction ? do we need it , i would really like to know about your opinion regarding this ,i used to read christian fiction before ,but i stopped it as i felt the SPIRIT convicting me. Thank you so much for all the great works you and your ministry are doing for JESUS,may the LORD shower HIS grace on you and on your ministry abundantly and my prayers will be there for you and your ministry always.
in HIS grace,
Chris W........

We learned about your book burning event and support your statement 100% concerning the King James Version of the Holy Bible, as being God's absolute truth for the english speaking people.
*******
YEA! We support your book burning 100%! We live in Ohio, so we can't attend your festivity, but we sure do wish you success in growing your congregation! Please, include the Harry Potter series, as well as the other things (movies in addition to the music that was mentioned in the news clip we watched on OneNewsNow). People just don't have eyes to see what is really happening in our world.
It's too bad you can't find someone who lives outside the city limits who will allow you to burn the books. I know that we live in the country, and we're allowed to burn things. but it's wonderful that you have gotten some media attention because of your beliefs. Too many people want to pick and choose things in the Bible that they agree with, and throw out all the things that make them uncomfortable. Stick to your beliefs, and don't be afraid to carry your cross. We're in the last days before our Lord returns. It's so important for us to live as closely as possible to what the Word says. This includes women's roles, modesty, and God's government. (1 Cor 11:1-16) Very shaky ground these days, but important issues to God, or He wouldn't have put them into writing. Eh? Blessings to you.

I am from burbank,ill a chicago suburb.I go to state road Baptist Church,and my pastor(Bill Dustin) is also KJV only.
My rapture ready site now logs 23 post,s against you.They are good people trying to follow God,but like most believer,s they use version,s of the Holy Word that water down thus saith the Lord.They don,t understand your stand against tony evans from moody and your dobson stand.I have butted heads b4 w/them and it,s a losing battle to speak out there.
You are taking a daring stand and I hope you can wake up some folk to the inch by inch caving in of our faith.Fortunately there are some good publications are also out there that believe the same as you do such as "Sword of the Lord bi-weekly newspaper and all the preachersthat graduated from Hyles Anderson College.However seems so far that this will make more separation in the ranks of the believer,s and the world will see that,and take full advantage of it.
What would Jesus do? Exactly what you are doing-exposing modernism and drawing a line in the sand.You are either right or wrong in the Lord,and there,s so much grey area in the Lord today! I Will see you in Glory someday,and we will talk over our battle,s we had back down on earth. God speed in your toe to toe battle w/satan.

Hello Pastor
It is very amazing to me to here that there is one man that can stand with the truth against the whole world. That is a good job your doing down there. I only wish I was down there in America I would have been a member of you church because i believe that all we get from the so called mordern churches, mordern bibles anf books are just perversions to make up for a big congregation, but what we need in the world today is that true word of GOD.
Godbless you pastor!

Peace be with you,
The adversary can not stop the plan GOD has for you. I for one will be praying and interceding for you and the church during this time. God gave you a voice and it was heard around this nation by like minded believers in the true word of GOD and by the enemy. I just pray all Christian Believers have the same mind sight to pray for you helping to divert as many attacks as we can. Your website may be down now but all praise and glory be unto God it was not down when I needed to reach you. The battle is not yours alone.
Jesus said my sheep know my voice and I heard his voice when I read the article. The job of the Body of Christ is to come together if for nothing more than to pray for the brethren when they are in need. I'm reminded of Peter when he was imprisoned and the church was praying and he was freed from the chains and those who were chained to him were still bound. I'm sure you already know how powerful the declaration you made is and what forces will try and come up against you. Please know my group of intercessors will be praying and ready to fight the spiritual warfare so you can do what you need to do in the name of Jesus and in peace. It is past time for the Kingdom of GOD to shine in this world.

Peace be unto you Pastor Grizzard,
I want to thank you for your belief in the true word of GOD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of Jesus the Christ. Be encouraged in all that you do for the glory of GOD. May GOD continue to bless and use you for HIS purpose, continue to be different for the right reasons. Continue to grow the 14 disciples that are given to you and claim your victory. There is no comparison in spiritual growth and numerical growth. Continue to lead the souls with knowledge, and understanding of the TRUTH.
King James Version is the only Bible I've been led to read by the Holy Spirit my entire life. Your findings are true findings. The world can not identify with those that are not of this world. Thank you for your truth.

Comments: I heard about your book burning on the local news this morning and paid a visit to your website. Just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see a site like this one, I love it! I wish we this kind of church in Raleigh. In fact, I with that every town in America had a church like this one! I may burn some books myself on Halloween. I can't use them, and I would never sell or donate them because of the danger they pose. Thanks for giving me a great idea on how to dispose of them properly :-) These certainly are the end times so I guess it's to be expected. I pray you will not become discouraged and that publicity from the book burning will reach the (few) who have ears to hear.
God bless you!

Dear Brother Grizzard,
Hello my name is Kevin I am a member of ________ Baptist Church in Seagrove, NC. I am a young preacher out of my church and I would like to just encourage you to keep on keeping on. No doubt the coming of our Lord is at hand. People don't want to here the truth, but thank God for the preacher that told me the truth about where I was headed and what I was and how I didn't have to stay that way. That preacher is now my Pastor, God saved me and has put my home back together. This world is so blind to the deceptions of satan. It's good to know others of like faith that take a stand for the true word of God.
May the Lord bless, Kevin

To bad, I live in California or I would come and stand against these things with you.
Burn all that is from Satan. Wasn't there a burning in the Bible of satan's books? I am not sure.
We must be holy if we want to see the Lord.
Christians look and act like the world. Even the church music sounds like the world. Same type of beats. This is not pleasing to The Lord.
It is very lonely to be a Christian these days, because it is hard for me to find anyone who truly loves and serves ONLY the Lord and not the world.
But I am not really lonely because I have fellowship with Jesus.

Hey brother,
I was checking "Christian Headlines," and see the headline: "One Baptist Church to Celebrate Halloween By Burning Bibles."
I knew that by clicking on the link I was either going to find the right crowd or a bunch of nuts - thank God it was the right crowd. I have downloaded my sermons from your website in the past and thank God for you and your ministry. Keep fighting the good fight brother - it surely can't be much longer now!
Also, have you seen the responses to the story? It is really telling of where we are in America. Anyway, I just wanted to write to encourage you to keep on for the Lord Jesus Christ!
I read the news article last night at church and we all rejoiced in your zeal for the Lord!
I hate to hear of the threats aimed at you, your family, and church... but we can rejoice that we can suffer shame for the Lord Jesus Christ! I know that's easy for me to say - it's a lot harder to live - so we'll be praying for you folks.

Congradulations for having faith in God's word.
Congradulations! You actually believe what the Bible says of itself!
The good 'ol book; now known as the King James Bible is the final standard. The final Textus Receptus.
My wife and I also burned every fake Bible we had, including our wedding Bible that someone gave us not knowing my stand on the Bible issue.
We pulled an Acts 19:19 after reading material about the Bible version issue.

Just stick to the Pure Holy Bible, and you will never go wrong in God's eyes.
How exciting to see another small work doing great exploits for the LORD!
This proves to me, biblically, that you DO know your God.

I don't know how much time is left in this cruel world that man has made it; but with folks like your little church, it is inspiring to know one can take a publick stand for the truth of God's word.

I saw the bible burning video that was a blessing. Since the Lord Jesus Christ is completely holy and sinless today and He is call the Word of God, there must be a written word that is holy and sinless today.

As a sincere soul winner glorifies the Saviour to the

My oldest son, my wife, and a dear brother all spent time on our knees praying for you and your family and this whole situation. We pray that no weapon formed against you will prosper & that the wiles/schemes/devices of the Devil will be brought to nought. We watched several news clips and were shouting "Amen" about stuff against modern PerVersions, Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Satan's music, etc. Let James Dobson focus on SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAMILY. I have a tape by Dobson where he says that masturbation is not a sin. Psychobabble!!!

Dear Brother Grizzard:
Thank you for your stand. We too believe that the modern Bible translation movement has crippled and poisoned the church, not just with the erroneous versions, but also with the philosophy that must be adopted to accept modern textual criticism and the never-ending Bible translations machine. We also support your view on the books of popular authors like Warren, Graham, and others. Old time fundamentalism is looking stranger and stranger in the Burger King, “Have it your way” age of American Christianity. But the Bible did tell us that we would be strange and peculiar people. I am your sovereign grace Baptist friend. God bless.

An old pastor friend of mine once reminded that the devil doesn’t attack a man unless he stands to do the devil some harm. The devil would not bother with you if you were Rick Warren. He only comes after those who are a threat to his stronghold in this world. When you make a stand you should expect the demons to come out of the woodwork. I only wish that more men were standing. Perhaps the Lord would see fit to return our nation to Himself if they were. God bless.

Dear Pastor Grizzard,
I heard about you through Fox News website. I am so pleased to hear a brother in the Lord contending so earnestly for the faith (Jude 3). I went to your website to look around. I must share my story with you.
I have been saved for 11 years now. A few years after I was saved my pastor asked me to work at the secretary for the church in Connecticut. I worked as secretary, bookkeeper, and in women's ministry. We were a contemporary church and my pastor seemed to sway with the wind. He was not a watchman nor was he discerning. Anyways...two years ago the Lord began to OPEN my EYES to the error I was in and that was all around me. So much error from Rick Warren, Rob Bell, seeker friendly church movement, the message paraphrase being used in service, contemporary music, casual dress, demon deliverance, women in leadership, labyrinth and mystical practices, no teachings of last day prophesy - revelation or the anticipation of the rapture, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON....
God Almighty showed me these things...I thought I was crazy because no one else saw these things and they thought I was the problem. I waited on God's timing and after the 'elders' did not agree with me... I resigned from my full time position.
I was unemployed for 1 month and my Heavenly Father provided a job for me. He also provided only by His sovereign power a wonderful, KJB Church that teaches truth.
I have thrown out many a books...taking care not to give them away but throw them away. I never knew that scripture about burning books. If I lived nearby I certainly would have attended your book burning!
God bless,

The world will side with the Devil, but I want you to know that there are "many of us" who applaud you and your stand Brother Grizzard.

Brother,
My husband and I recently sent a very small donation to your church. We wish it could had been more. But, we are praying for you and your church and the ministry that God has given you in your area. Would to God there were more preachers in this country that would take the stand that you do on the King James Bible. We are hoping the Lord would allow us to visit with your church one day in the future, we would be there for the book burning, but our church is having an event that night as well and we will be in our place. But, we will be praying for you and that the Lord would provide a hedge of protection around everyone that night. With the attention you've been getting about it (it was even on our local news) you never know what kind of nuts the devil will send to mess with yall. We will be much in prayer for you.
I also wanted to thank you for the sermons you provide for people like me on your website. They are a great blessing! Thank you so much! I look forward to you getting your website up again and running.
Thank you again for everything you do for the Lord! You and your family are a great blessing! If we lived in your area, I can assure you, we would be members.

I read the Fox news article regarding your church book burning event on Halloween. Praise God for your church doing mighty exploits in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! There are people across this and other nations standing up and cheering for these great efforts.

Hello, My name is Quincy H......... One of my friends showed me the video of what ya's plans are for Halloween. It might not mean much but I must say you have my support and I agree one hundred percent of what ya are doing. I am a King James only myself. I am currently attending Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in Pineville Ky. It is always good and encouraging to hear of people like us. It can be very discouraging here at college because hardly any one believes like I do and to them I am a heretic. Ya have made my day and I hope that one day I could come by and see ya one Sunday or Wednesday and attend ya's services. If I can I will try to make it for the burning but I can't promise anything.
Thank you for taking a stand for whats right Bro. Quincy H........
My Response
Hello Quincy,
Thanks for your kind comments. I to many years ago went to a school that didn't believe the Bible (KJV). Be very careful that they don't persuade you to question God's Word, just like satan said to Eve in Genesis 3:1 "...Yea, hath God said?" Never be what they call being "open" to their view, that's questioning God's Word. I personally as a pastor would encourage you to move to a college that will teach you correctly in the things of God. Are you taking Greek or Hebrew? if so which text? May God Bless you. Keep standing for God. Pastor Marc

Brother,
I heard about your church through the web concerning your book burning. I showed the video to my class and we all appreciated your stand on the word of God.
One thing I did see on your site: You make a disclaimer that Jack Schaap does not believe the KJV is inspired, but you don’t say that about David Cloud.
I hope and pray your church does well. God bless.

Hello Brother Peddicord, Nice to hear from a brother who stands for God's Word. You asked me about David Cloud. I was not aware of that. Do you have anything to document that for me, because I have all of his books, cd's, DVD's, and I thought he said the KJV was inspired. But I could be wrong. I know he has not come out to say anything about Brother Schaap, which is kinda odd. Being that he speaks out about everything that it. Please pray for us Saturday during the book burning. God Bless. Pastor Marc
