The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ezekiel 18:20-21, “’The person who sins will die. The son will not bear

the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the

punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous

will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and

observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall

surely live; he shall not die.’”

I read recently of a woman who was in deep anguish over the loss of a

loved one. “Why did the LORD do this to me?” she asked. Then, I saw

and heard a Vietnam veteran say, “Why the LORD allowed me to live

through all the dangers of this war, I’ll never know.”

Ezekiel 18 is a powerful chapter! I urge you to read it in its entirety!!

Don’t say you don’t have the time. It is spiritual medicine that we all need

from the Great Physician. God HATES sin! And He does not overlook our

sin. Punishment and death are the sure results of sin. Still, God LOVES us!

He did not create us so we could sin. But when we truly repent, He

forgives us! Our minds and hearts are cleansed from sin and guilt. We

feel clean because we are clean!

Very often, I encounter some really BIG men. I love to approach them and

say, “I never mess with guys that are bigger than I am.” I have yet to meet

a BIG man that doesn’t laugh heartily. Don’t mess with God! He won’t

laugh. Sin is serious with Him; but He will forgive and cleanse you.

True Love and earnest prayers –always,
