Sadness and joy!

We were saddened today because, as we looked out over our class, we saw two men who had been with us in the past, then were released, only to return again. We had a good rapport with them before, so we were able to pick up where we left off.

They both have made professions of faith, but we long to see them get victory over sin. One of them gave testimony that he had stopped reading his Bible and finding a church became less important to him than the worries of the world.

We were joyful when he challenged himself and the others to remain faithful to God and walk away from problems. He wants to sing a song for us next week.

OH, may God help these people who are caught in life cycles of sin! May God give us wisdom! May He have mercy of us all!
