Todd and Shirley Jaw-Dropping Truth, Part 2
Bible Study

Daily Devotional
Daily Devotional
Average reading time is about 5 and a half minutes
When Todd heard Pastor Doug encourage listeners to check out everything he was saying with the Bible, he did. Todd felt alive inside and knew he had to share this new found truth with Shirley, but he was apprehensive as he felt his wife might cling to her Catholic background and be offended by the studies that had placed the pope in a bad light. To Todd’s surprise, though, Shirley accepted the truth of the Bible and from there, the two of them started a joint journey into God’s Word.
A study of the Sabbath was a turning point for Todd and Shirley and they stepped out to find a Sabbath-keeping church. They found one in town, and their pastor says the congregation deeply loves their family. “The things they have learned since leaving the Catholic Church seem to have been practically a banquet feast for them,” the pastor says.
“We don’t feel lost anymore,” says Todd. “We now have the best marriage we have ever had, and we’re considering renewing our vows in our new church. Our whole house is very happy, peaceful, and loving. There is no more drinking, cursing, yelling, or locking myself in the bedroom. We are learning how to love our neighbors and we are honoring the commandments because we love God and don’t want to hurt Him anymore. We can’t wait for church each Sabbath. God is always first in our lives, and we love Him above all.”
Todd and Shirley completed the Storacles of Prophecy studies, and watched a number of faith-building messages. They continue to study the Bible and use several research tools from Amazing Facts, including The Bible Timeline (timeline.biblehistory.com). Shirley shares her faith with co-workers by first directing them to amazingfacts.org and encouraging them to watch the videos. She also hands out booklets.
Todd and Shirley are thankful for the jaw-dropping truths they have learned which have transformed their lives from despair to joy!
Reflect: Are you part of a church family? What is your favorite part about being connected to the body of Christ? Remember, it’s important to not only gain a blessing at church, but to be a blessing to others—for love shows we are Christ’s disciples.
