My brother is so hard against the Lord and even against me that I pray that someone else in FL can reach him.

Trust the LORD, it will be as he wills.

My father-in-law came to live with my wife and I after he had a stroke. He was Eastern Orthodox. Every Sunday I invited him to come with us to church. After a couple months, he said yes. He started coming every Sunday. His son was surprised and asked him why. He told him he really enjoyed it. Our Pastor preaches THE GOSPEL every Sunday.

My father-in-law died last March. Before he died my wife prayed with him and asked him if he believed THE GOSPEL and had Faith in Jesus Alone. He said yes.

Trust the LORD.

I know my father-in-law would never have listened if it was his Bible believing Baptist son-in-law trying to explain THE GOSPEL to him, but in the end he did hear THE GOSPEL and he believed.

I pray someone there will ask him to go with them. I was able to witness to my sister and other brother but never Henry. He’s too hard for me to reach but I know God can do it. Thank you for your wonderful testimony. Mxxx (Freepmail me and let me know the difference between what we believe and what Orthodoxy believes. Thanks.)

Amen, William. As God wills.

Blue-duncan told me a beautiful story about a husband and wife decades ago who lived in a small house in the country. Both parents were illiterate, but they managed to provide a life for themselves and their five children. All the children took turns reading the Bible to their parents every night, and that's how they learned their faith and knew they were saved by Christ alone.

Each of those children grew into a strong Christian...by the word of God and the determination and love of two parents who could not read, but who had ears to hear, by the grace of God.
