Planting Gospel Seeds
We are blessed to have you reading and praying with us.
I am inspired by imprisoned, chained, elderly Paul’s words to young Timothy. “Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (2 Timothy 2:10)” We do not know who are God’s elect and are thankful we can each plant seeds of the Good News in the hearts of those He has put in our path today.
