The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 5:21-23, “For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD,

And He watches all his paths. 22 His own iniquities will capture the wicked,

And he will be held with the cords of his sin. 23 He will die for lack of instruction,

And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.”

The news has been replete recently with indecencies and immoralities

coming forth from the lives of prominent personalities. The consequences

of many of these indiscretions stretch backward over the years and extend

from California to the Capital in Washington, DC. Lives and careers have

been effectively destroyed, yet the full extent of the consequences are yet

to be determined.

These shameful acts have for years escaped the eyes of the American public,

but they have never escaped the eyes of the LORD! Nor will any sinful acts

in our lives escape His notice! The Bible says, “…be sure your sin will find you out”

(Num. 32:23). We cannot do wrong and get by. Look at the verses above:

Man’s “own iniquities will capture him, and he will be held with the cords

of his sin…” The “enjoyment” we receive from sinning calls for more. We are

captivated –imprisoned!— by the very sin that eventually brings us down.

How many times have people said to me, “Oh, I can quit at any time.” But the

fact that they don’t says that they can’t! The only One who can free us from

sin is the LORD Jesus Christ. Listen to His Word: Man “will die for lack of instruction.”

I’m giving you that instruction right now! Listen! Obey! Don’t ruin your life!!

We love you and pray for you every, single day,
