He answered I will not but afterward
In the parable about the two sons Jesus emphasizes to his disciples the importance of doing his will. He vividly portrayed two sons, one of whom fulfilled God’s will while the other did not. The worst thing was that he said to his father, “I will go,” and then did not go. The other son replied, “I will not go” but he later changed his mind and that made him to be the fulfiller of his father’s will. The addressees of this parable were the Pharisees, who believed that they were fulfilling the will of God in everything they could. They adhered to the outward performance, while denying the essence of the law. So, this lesson is valid for us today. As Christians today we could adhere to all proper Christian insignia and know all the Christian songs yet do not fulfill the core truths that Jesus taught.
Summer Family Camp
Our SFC was a blessing this year. We had to delay the first day of the camp for two days due to severe weather. But the Lord’s blessing in the form of good weather was upon us. Some unbelievers were amazed at how Christians behave between themselves with love and respect. We praise the Lord and for this rare opportunity to spend fruitful time in preaching and sharing the Gospel. Our prayer is for all the participants whether church members or not that the Lord continues his work in their hearts to attain his goals.
Praise and Prayer Points
In our last prayer letter we asked you to join us in praying for our ESL students. We can share with you today that several of them have contacted us recently and expressed their willingness to proceed in our studies. Please pray for this group of people who are quite far from the Lord that they will all see their real spiritual condition and accept Jesus as a cure.
Two weeks ago we met a woman on the street who used to go to our church about 17 years ago. Now she has walked away from the Lord and is living a very ungodly life. Pray that she will return to the Lord and restart going to church.
Friends and Family
Tim has to write his end of year tests yet. Pray for his good preparation and successful passing of all of them. Continue to pray for Liliya’s father, his health condition and salvation.
Thank you for your prayer and your standing with us!
