12 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD Thus these books do exist, they however are not Scripture. They can be interesting reading, and perhaps here and there a jewel of understanding of the culture or history of the Bible extracted that helps a person understand the intent of God in certain places within the Holy Writ. Nonetheless, they are not canon as so aptly spoken in this paragraph of the Helvetic. Above all listen to none who claim to have found lost or unknown books or any other word that is equal to the Bible as received by the reformed church from her birth and the universal church before that. The one who says the Bible is the Word of God, but needs anything other than god the Holy Spirit to provide illumination is a false prophet and to be resisted by all means available. Two well known sects fit this description today: The Jehovah’s Witness, and the Mormon Church, each require their own writings in addition to the Scriptures to obtain God’s light for life and eternity. Dr. Chuck Baynard Clover EPC - Clover, South Carolina A Leap of Faith On July 29,2005. 86-year old Alex Sonkoly, a faithful member of the First Hungarian Reformed Church in Walton Hills, Ohio, made his fourth tandem skydive and was awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the Instructor of the Cleveland Parachute Center in Garrettsville, Ohio. Ever since his military service as a gunner with the Army Air Corps in World War II, Alex has had a dream of skydiving. Time and time again, he watched his buddies do it and wondered what it would be like. Finally on his 82nd birthday, June 29, 2001, Alex made his first tandem jump and has made skydiving a yearly celebration of his birthday and his life. “Some people say I’m crazy,” said Alex. “But I think everyone should find the courage to fulfill a big dream, at least once in their life.” 86-year-old Alex Sonkoly (pictured beneath instructor) was photographed during his fourth tandem skydive on July 29, 2005.
