Hi again, Mr. Hamilton,<\/p>\n
I just wanted to thank you for all the diligent work you have been doing for me and countless others to help create a stronger relationship with God and grow spiritually. Also clearing up all of the confusion that I’ve had toward the Christian life.<\/p>\n
Just yesterday, I got baptized at a church of Christ that I found near where I live and am now striving to grow even stronger in the faith. Without having stumbled upon your site by the grace of God over a year ago, who knows where I would be today in terms of my spiritual health.<\/p>\n\t
That is wonderful to hear! It has been my pleasure to help in whatever way I can.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
