Gary Farmer was not open to the gospel. I would share little things with him, but most of all, Rick and I would just shower him with kindness and try to live Jesus to him.
His mother got sick and passed away. She was a good Christian lady, and Gary knew that there was only one way he would ever

John MacArthur writes:
This passage...strikes a death blow to the self-centered false gospels that are so popular in contemporary Christianity. It leaves no room for the gospel of getting, in which God is considered a type of utilitarian genie who jumps to provide a believer's every whim. It

May I Tell You a Story?

When we would sit and rock for hours;
I thought of Mom’s little garden and smiled
