Hi Gregor,

Interesting circumstances today. This afternoon a friend and I stopped by a place in the country my wife and I are considering for purchase which is presently vacant.
As we were about to leave, a car pulled up with a family, both parents and three kids. One of the teens wanted to give me a Watchtower magazine and what ensued was a half hour discussion with the parents and children listening.
I knew God provided those circumstances although others would of course say coincidence led to the meeting.
You can imagine the content of the conversation but the one thing that was again reinforced in my mind was the strength of God's word.
Where we can say, "God's word says".... instead of what men have provided as doctrine.
Really, what value is our opinion on spiritual matters if we are contrary to what He has held out to us as perfect in His word.
Far harder to argue with the Bible and indeed as you quoted, His word never returns void. I praise God for your use of it.
I can not recall their family name but the Lord knows them if you could remember these people in prayer. They were not at peace when we parted.
Yours in Christ,
John
