I want to sincerely thank you for your time and effort. Especially the questions and answers sections.\u00a0 It is the first I have come across that addresses issues so completely in the Lord’s Scriptures. Not just citing one Scripture, but taking all of the Scriptures in full for every answer.<\/p>\n
I personally have unique difficulties within marriage and you are indeed the first to have addressed each of them with exactly as I too have perceived the Scriptures.\u00a0 Just a simple thank you for your scriptural explanations in-depth and in whole is what I want to make known to you. I will keep your ministry in my humble prayers to continue to bring the Lord’s Scriptures to light in this world so full of difficulties.<\/p>\n\t
I appreciate the kind words. The job of a preacher is to help people understand God’s word and how it applies to their life. Much like the teachers of old, “So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading<\/em>” (Nehemiah 8:8). I’m happy you found the effort useful in your own life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: I want to sincerely thank you for your time and effort.
