Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Day 4 church ~ Oct 14th

After a wonderful night's rest we got up and went to Calvary Church, a church that AJ first preached at 12 years ago and will visit at times to preach.  Afterwards, we visited with the family, whose father and grandfather were the preachers, for about 2 hours.  The son is now the preacher after their father past last year. We enjoyed their company extremely. They gave us refreshments and we sang songs in Hindi and English. It was a wonderful time in fellowship with Christian brothers and sisters.

Eddies sermon was on Romans 5:1-8.  He talked about Paul telling believers that we rejoice in our faith in Jesus Christ even during our suffering because our hope is in Him. He talked about even though we may seem different (Americans & Indians) we are the same and we all suffer. Turning away from God or worshiping something else (alcohol, food, idols, another religion, etc.) doesn't end your suffering.

Your Faithful Follower,
