To rise above is to pray for one's enemies. I hope he gains a saving knowledge of the Lord before passing from this life, whenever that might be.

We'll always fight his type. It's just what we do. But we never want them to die without the presence of God in their lives. To wish eternal damnation is to make a mockery of what the Lord did for us. All we really ever wanted was for them to be upright and correct. Otherwise, we would have helped them to the grave long ago.

having used ole ted as an example a few days ago I'd just add...

Im woefully unqualified to be the final judge of another mans heart, God has allowed ted a fat life in the world so far for a reason...

prayers for the family, and may the Lord use this situation for His Glory...
