Bible Note: Norrie, it's been my experience as a Christian who would love for all the world to find Christ that this is not really going to happen, and the Bible certainly teaches that. Having done all in your power to show this person the error of her ways, you can do no more; and it is my view that your time and efforts might well be used to better advantage by moving on to someone else whose mind is not so firmly sealed in a concrete vault of deception. I do believe, however, that you should keep this person on your prayer list, because nothing is impossible with God. --Hank |
