Barbara,

No one inquired more. But they have known what we do for some time. However, my father-in-law did close a prayer "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" the last time we saw him. We nearly fell off of our chairs. Then, I saw my father a few days ago and he crossed himself and mentioned that he has come to believe that Sola Scriptura is erroneous. There are only so many directions one can head after coming to that conclusion! Thank you all for your prayers and if it comes to mind, please continue to pray for them.

In Christ,
Dcn Antonios

Wow! It sounds like your father-in-law and father are both becoming Orthodox.
Let us pray that their wives will also follow suit.

Once Sola Scriptura falls, then Protestantism falls like a deck of cards.
Please be there for him as he will need your help.
Do you live close to them?

Know that I will pray for them.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Interestingly enough both sets of our parents now live within about 30 mins of us.

As far as becoming Orthodox goes, I can't imagine that being too near. But, I hope and pray that I am very wrong.

I will continue in prayers that they may be saved and receive Holy Baptism.
