Gleaning the Corners of the Field

1 Corinthians 15:58  ¶Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

What a blessing it is to know that the Lord is always faithful in keeping His promises. Some of you may remember Martin. I met him ten years ago through the sport of scuba diving. We became friends after I helped him complete the drywall work in his house. Martin is in his mid thirties and is a lifetime atheist. His father committed suicide about seven years ago. He is also one of the best auto mechanics I have ever met. Through the years, we have had many discussions about God and the Bible. We have talked at length about why evolution simply does not make sense. Several times, we have stayed on the phone for a couple of hours with me answering question after question and responding quietly to objection after objection. During a recent call, I was reminding him that he still needed to repent and trust the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. His response was that he had recently done that and that was one of the reasons he was calling. Praise the Lord! Pray for him to follow through and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. There are so many others which simply need to stop kicking against the pricks and humble themselves before the Lord.
