Garwin Dobbins: 'My Grace Is Sufficient For You...'
The testimony and singing of a Christian man, Garwin Dobbins, struggling with a horrendous, painful disease, and yet, who is still confident of his faith in God, still able to praise Him, and still able to look forward to being with Jesus.
Absolutely beautiful!
Mr. Dobbins no longer has to look forward to being with the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He has reached his eternal home.
Praise be to God our Father in Heaven -- in all things!

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (ESV) 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Absolutely beautiful!
Mr. Dobbins no longer has to look forward to being with the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He has reached his eternal home.
Praise be to God our Father in Heaven -- in all things!

Thank you for visiting A Lutheran Layman! Please feel free to leave a comment or a question since we do not exercise censorship. We've seen a similar policy with other blogs and it's worth repeating: Please act as if you're a guest in my home, and we'll get along just fine. I think anyone would agree that the kind of back-and-forth that is characteristic of blogs/chat forums and social media is becoming tiresome for all of us. Still, we should confess, edify, and love (and contend and defend when needed). Bottom line? Search the Scriptures! Apply Acts 17:11 to anything and everything you find here and, if you do happen to disagree with something you find here (which is certainly ok), or think I'm "irresponsible" and "wrong" for writing it, then please refute my position by supporting yours with Scripture and/or the Confessions. I don't think that's an unreasonable request, especially for those who identify themselves as "Christians" here, right? Besides, Proverbs 27:17 tells us "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" and 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." If you have an opinion that's great, I welcome it, but try to support it using God's Word. I mean, if the goal here is to help us all arrive at the truth of God's Word (myself included), then it should be easy to follow through on this one simple request (I'm talking to all you "Anonymous" visitors out there). Grace and peace to you and yours!
