I concur with all the wonderful and warm sentiments sent to Ray with sincere well wishes from my fellow forum members and followers in Christ, this verse came to mind and I thought it very appropriate (for me) because really, Ray loves the Lord and has given all his time and energy to feed us, the flock/lambs/sheep who were blindly following the church and now, through his thorough explanations of God’s Word, we are out of Babylon…
I am now reading and studying the Scriptures with a vigour I didn’t have in all my years before coming to Bible Truths, I am being fed and Ray is the modern day apostle albeit via internet who is feeding the Lord’s Sheep as He intended His apostles over two thousand years to do.
This is just my humble opinion from where I stand.
John 21:
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
May God Bless you Ray and may He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace in your afflictions
