“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Ethel, Edwin and their three daughters might not be a whole family today, were it not for the Word of God being injected into [...]
