This is what I want, as well: to be found faithful no matter what. I can't imagine a better thing than for people to say, "He was always kind and generous and willing to listen. But, he always pointed you to the Bible for answers to all of life's questions. He really believed it was truth." I hope that will be my epitaph, if the Lord tarries.

The answer to the "What if…?" is "So what?" We should be determined to keep going on no matter what anyone or anything does or doesn't do. We must work out our own salvation, allowing God to use us as fools if need be. And I believe we may be getting there sooner than we think. God help us to trust only in Him and His Word!.

I hope to see you in the New World, my brother.
