My Answer to a Question My Daughter-in-Law Asked: What Can Done to Reduce Gun Violence

[chuckles]

I first came to the Lord at 43. I spent my life thinking I was "good enough". If I was asked,...I said I believed that Jesus died for my sins, was born of a virgin, and rose the 3rd day. It took the Holy Spirit to call me to Him. You won't come unless the Father calls you. Beating someone over the head with a Bible will NEVER do it.

One of the best Bible studies I ever had was "Experiencing God" by Blackaby. It was explained to me "Things only God can do". One of the principles was No one comes to belief without the Spirit calling them. A dead person cannot and will not have any thoughts about God unless the Spirit is planting seeds and tilling the soil. Never hide your faith, but don't try to force it. She will come to you when she wants to know. If and when she does, that means God is calling her. NEVER say, "I'll get back to you." God wants to use you to witness a miracle. Most of all, pray for her everyday. God will hear and give her the Bread of Life. Luke 11:5-13.

When she believes, she will transform. Abortion will become murder, Homosexuality becomes an abomination, and God's Word is necessary for abundant life for America. Arguments will cease. Liberals lose and Satan gets angry.

I now have a PDF version of what I wrote. I made a few tweaks to it, added some color to the scripture references, and reformatted some of the text. If you want a copy of it, I'll email it out to you. Just send me a Freepmail so we can keep the emails confidential and I'll email it to you.

Thanks again for all your responses.

A quick follow up, my daughter has regretted some of her words and all of her attitude regarding what she posted on FB. She thought she "lost her Papa Bear" over what she said.

I assured her she did not and I even sent her a Youtube link to one of our favorite songs "You'll Be in My Heart" from the Disney Tarzan movie and sung by Phil Collins. She cried...... :D

Happy tears of course, and a few tears of regret were mingled in there too.

I am gratified to read that your daughter has repented of some of the things she said.

Your response was not only Christian, it was appropriate, healing, and conciliatory. (If you were NOT a Christian, she may have indeed lost her “Papa Bear”.)

Perhaps she will remember this the next time she feels like mouthing off liberal talking points instead of thinking things through.

May you and she be Blessed forever.
