You can be a “good” wife/husband,
a “good” parent and not be a Christian,
but when you become a Christian,
you will IMPROVE as a mate or a parent.

SIN’S COURSE

The first man chose to disobey
(God said to stay away).
His son chose to kill;
Soon sin was so in style
Mankind did it all the while.
Its stench was very ill.

ON 2/ 29/ 1948
Richard Wurmbrand was arrested 2/29/1948. He was a Lutheran pastor on his way to church this Lord’s Day. A black sedan pulled up beside him, all 4 doors opened & 4 men put him in the car. In prison he was labeled ‘Prisoner Number 1.’ All told, he spend 14 yrs in Romanian, Communist prisons (cataloged under a false name to hide him) – 3 yrs in solitary confinement cell 12’ underground without light or window.
He was born 3/24/1909, youngest of 4 Jewish brothers in Bucharest, Romania. He became fluent in 9 languages, was active in leftist politics & was a stockbroker. On 10/26/1936 he wed Sabina (who herself was imprisoned 3 yrs) – they had a son, Mihai. They were converted to Christ (1938) mainly because of a German carpenter, Christian Wolfkes. 1945-47, Richard distributed 1 million Gospels to Russian troops.
His imprisonment included being chilled (like a walk-in cooler) then brought out & beaten. After being released & “ransomed” ($10K) he made his way to England & eventually to US, where he testified before a committee of the Senate & showed them his 18 deep torture wounds. It was after this he spoke at IHC, then held at God’s Bible School where I heard him in person. This author of 18+ books died 2/17/2001.
