You’re Not a Fool to Keep Hoping, Part 3
Puritan Thomas Brooks ministers to the church when he reminds us that just one hour into heaven, and everything will make sense. We'll realize we were not fools for standing up for the truth and for living with biblical hope. This post concludes our three-part series on why you're not a fool to keep hoping for God to do a great work in your children's lives, even when you don't see the results. It's also relevant for any disappointed or disaffected Christian whose prayers haven't yet been answered. Please read Part 1 and Part 2 to fully understand the context. These three posts will comprise one chapter in my work-in-progress, "When Christian Parents Hurt." As always, I welcome all constructive criticism for any of these posts. As it's a work in progress, I can consider and incorporate your thoughts. (My book coming out this fall actually quotes--by name--a couple of Substack reviewers who added some sterling insight.)
