“And I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles— to whom I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’”‭‭Acts‬ ‭26:15-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “to whom I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.” It is tough to see friends who are caught in the downward pull of Satan. The path has money, lust, and temptation all over it and it’s very difficult for them to see that it’s leading to death. Please pray that we and our friends pray for our friends caught in this downward pull and tell them Jesus died so, “that they may receive forgiveness of sins”. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
