"You have to work hard to offend Christians. By nature, Christians are the most forgiving, understanding, and thoughtful group of people I've ever dealt with. They never assume the worst. They appreciate the importance of having different perspectives. They're slow to anger, quick to forgive, and almost never make rash judgments or act in anything less than a spirit of total love . . . No, wait--I'm thinking of Labrador retrievers!" David Learn, 1998

IT IS FINISHED (and God won!)
To read the saga from the beginning, start with November 22, 2011.
Dear Jessica and Jerry, I tried to leave a message on your blogger but didn't exactly know how to do it... At any rate I stand with you in all this. I appreciate the fact that you will not compromise your standards for God and His Word! I know the last few months have been extremely difficult! You are in my prayers!
..."Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
It is His reputation (and legacy) that is at stake. However, He has said that He will do the actual building of His Church. He is able also to defend Himself.
I have learned there are some things we can do -- there are other things/timing that are His alone.
You have done a great job bringing His light to darkness; also in honoring many of His people.
May our wonderful God continue to give you strength, courage, wisdom and peace in these difficult situations. He loves you!

I've heard a rumor that it is your birthday today. If that rumor is true, then may it be a special day of joy for you!
ReplyDeleteI check this site regularly to learn your viewpoint in all of this. Thank you, and God bless you for "standing" for truth.
