The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Corinthians 8:6, “…for us there is but one God, the Father,

from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord,

Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.”

Time does not permit me to share with you some glorious

things that have only recently occurred. But the LORD

is alive and active toward those for whom we have prayed.

Never doubt; only believe!

Love you all greatly,

Dear Grands,

Your verse for today is:

Romans 16:17, “Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.”

With all the emphases in Scripture for us to witness and instruct people in the teachings of

Scripture, there is also instruction to watch carefully and turn away from some. Dissensions means “standing apart,” their act of separating persons from one another. Hindrances translates “a trap, a snare or stumbling block.” Some people just want us to fail. And turn away is an imperative verb! Don’t be fooled into thinking you can help them. Just turn away!

Love you all very much,

Nana & Dado III

Dear Grands,

Here is your verse for today:

Romans 15:4, “For whatever was written in earlier times

was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance

and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”

Note: Hope in Greek (????? elpis) is always future certainty.

Love always,

Dear Grands,

Your verses for today:

NAU Romans 12:1-2, “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God,

to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is

your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world,

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove

what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

We love you and are praying for you daily,

Dear Grands,

There are a lot of things in life that we simply do not know.

But, here is something we can know with absolute certainty:

Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things

to work together for good to those who love God, to those

who are called according to His purpose.”

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love you all,

Nana & Dado III
