How often do we look back on our lives and say \u201cif only I had known\u201d? We think about how having the knowledge that we lacked could have changed completely the outcome. The other day while speaking with Edwardo one of the men that I am discipling he began to share with me the responsibility he felt to share Christ with his family. His mother has visited the church a few times and although she is very \u201creligious\u201d she is slowly opening up to the gospel, but his father died several years ago. As he talked to me about this burden he paused and with tears in his eyes he looked at me and said \u201cif only I had known the truth before my father died I believe he would have listened to me.\u201d As I stood there all I could think about was why didn\u2019t someone give them the gospel. What could have been the outcome \u201cif only\u201d Ewardo\u2019s father had heard the truth? Only the Lord knows the answer to that question but may we take the gospel to everyone possible so that more will not have to say \u201cif only\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
