Bird and Branee made professions of faith 2 months ago, but their Buddha shelf remained. (A Buddha shelf is a shelf on the wall that supports a Buddha image, or highly respected monk image, amulets and or other household gods.) This is a sure sign that he was not yet ready to relinquish the old even though they wanted Jesus too.
Recently on a wet and rainy day, we went to teach Bird and Branee. After teaching the lesson, Bird said that he had something for us to help him with. To our surprise and joy, he said that he wanted to take down the Buddha shelf. Because Bird was a little afraid of taking the shelf down himself, he enlisted Richard to take the things down. Branee said I feel so happy that the shelf was coming down. Bird said my heart feels lighter already because I confidently believe in Jesus Christ alone. Pray for the heart of Branee’s husband, (who will retire and move into the house with his wife and son in October) to quickly accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.
