Hi Jeff,<\/p>\n
I am on your mailing list and I get many emails a day of answered questions by you. I eagerly open your emails every day and try to keep up with all your answered questions. It is clear that some try to shock or bait you with crazy scenarios, but you patiently and scripturally answer their questions. Some of these people who wish to embarrass you may very well have been converted by your godly answers. I know for me, I grow spiritually from reading your answers.<\/p>\n
Thank you and God bless the work you do!<\/p>\n\t
I try to give people the benefit of a doubt. While I have doubts about the sincerity of a few questions, if I can find a useful topic to discuss, I try to handle them.<\/p>\n
I know a large number of people have changed their lives for the better because of the website, and I’m glad to be of service in the Lord’s work.<\/p>\n
Thanks for the encouragement. It is much appreciated.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
