The growth of the Church through power, love, and mercy of GOD that irresistibly calls people to have faith in JESUS CHRIST and believing that He is the way; and that He unloads our budens if we trust Him. Blessings to you and your family, Richard!
Very true, Jim! It is the work of the Triune GOD. Only GOD has the credit for getting people saved in His irresistable call. We all are just vessels for His purpose; with GOD giving us the proper mind and heart for leading people to Him. The HOLY SPIRIT has always guided us and without GOD, we can’t lead anyone to a saving faith. This is all for GOD’s sole glory. Blessings to you and your family!
“ The HOLY SPIRIT has always guided us and without GOD, we can’t lead anyone to a saving faith.”
The summary of it all. How we need the Spirit with all the details of our salvation! Amen to this being for His glory. I pray we both glorify Him!

If we won’t glorify Him, I don’t think we would matter at all without His illumination. All for GOD’s sole glory! ☝
