Just Wanted to Share

[Hagar]

My son was ordained as a Deacon in the Catholic Church Saturday, Feb 20th, in Houston.  He had six years of study and classes to prepare.  My wife and I are proud of him, and feel confident he’ll be a strong ally for Christ.

I know some of you look down on the Catholic denomination.  Just be aware that Catholics are Christians trying to please God like other denominations.   My prayers are that all Christians will grow stronger in their faith, as Christians, not as Catholics, Baptist, or whichever denomination you may be.  God Bless!

Amen sir and may God bless his ministry.  Service to the Lord is the greatest thing in life.

Thanks baddog.  When he returned home after 7 years in the Marines, he had quit going to Church during that time.  Once he married and had his first child on the way, he came back strong.  We thank God for that.

Family has a way of getting young men back in line with a purpose with no doubt, thanks to God.

There is nothing I've mentioned on this msg board about catholics that they have not said first about themselves. Research will bare that out.

Don’t you wonder what the point of that post was?   I just wanted to share a proud, happy moment in my life, and then that.  I will continue praying for all who proclaim to be followers of Christ.  Heaven knows, we all need prayers.

Also, much respect for you for taking the high road.

Kountzer is of the opinion that only Seventh Day Adventists earn a trip to Heaven.

Yep, as were Catholics prior to my joining.  Personally, I think we’ll be judged as individual Christians, not by denomination.

For me, I’m probably doomed to hell, but there will be lots of people I know there. Lol

Congratulations. Having a child devoted to Christ is a blessing regardless denomination. You have raised him right.

Thanks PF.   He spent 7 years in the Marine Corp, and spiritually he had lost his way, but when he married he came back to the Church, even stronger.   Wife and I are thrilled.
