Bear His name

I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother. (2 Timothy 1:5)

When a team of Christians visited Stavropol, Russia,...to hand out Bibles, a local citizen said he recalled seeing Bibles in an old warehouse,...confiscated in the 1930s, when Stalin was sending believers to the gulags. Amazingly, the Bibles were still there.

Among those who showed up to [help] was a young agnostic...just wanting...a day's wage. But soon he slipped away from the job to steal a Bible. A team member...found him sitting in a corner weeping. Out of the hundreds of Bibles, he had picked up one that bore the handwritten signature of his own grandmother....

Better than having children beat your name is to have them bear Christ's name.
