Margee and Ravis children must be in the miniscule straits of masterful emotion at their most grim time of anguish. My unusual name being mispronounced by some others is inflammatory. One solicitor calling to buy my home called me Wailly, a bad experience I had in the sixth grade, and I scolded him and warned him not to call back. I have such pristine hate for my name being said wrong, especially taunts. I pray Margee and her surviving family will experience God's grace in greatness far surpassing their grief.
Update from Nathan I can tell you that so far I have not seen any questionable/concerning photos in both of the phones I have searched. I also have not found any questionable/concerning correspondence or data. This includes the device they supposedly found the most information.
This lady lost the love of her life, too, and hopefully not, some of her ability to trust...May God continue to console her heart, mind, emotions- her entire soul, in Jesus name. Amen.🙏🌹🤲

Yes, she deserves to be left alone. She clearly loved him and was devoted to him. On the other hand, he didn't love her enough to be faithful to her. She stayed home and kept those home fires burning. He was scampering about the world, rendezvousing with very attactive young women. Instead of taking his wife on trips to exotic places, he took along young, nubile massage therapists. The saddest thing is that he did not admit it it and apologize to her before he died. Of course, he might have; but then she would be lying about not being aware of what he had done. So, I don't think that he did do that.
@J Joseph she knows this like everyone else. Stay ON TOPIC. Read your bible and learn how Jesus treated hurting people and what he said about widows and orphans. Circle back with a comment more rooted in love next time
J Joseph-God exposes our sin to us a little at a time. It would literally kill us to really know how much we’ve offended Him-in a short period of time. This was no small thing...and she was sinned against, as well as Holy God offended. It will take years for her to process all of this. You can’t wallop her with all that transpired and expect her to easily receive, believe, accept and process it all. Have mercy on her.
@@lisaware9697 JJ is obviously a gavel slammer w/his own issues of attacking victims of heinous crimes. He needs to seek Jesus for help himself. Always the flame throwers who never see their own shortcomings & destruction.
@J Joseph your a wife cheat...you never looked at a woman and had a lustful thought...man this ain't worth destroying the ministry over. 30 years ago this wasn't even an issue, people are money hungry. Let me see someone file that isn't holding their hand out ...Even Smith Wigglesworth had a accusations made against him. Ravi fell short...he can get in line behind me.
There are a few things that are still true: 1. Ravi was a great apologist and helped many around the world grow strong in the faith through his cogent elocution. His arguments, videos, and publications are still valuable for insight and learning. 2. Ravi serves as a warning to all Christian leaders that we can easily fall into illicit relationships and allow our physical desires to rule our lives. This is nothing new (David & Samson for example), but the wages of this sin are still deadly. 3. Teachers are held to a higher standard and will be judged more harshly on judgement day (James 3:1). I pray that Ravi repented before he died. 4. The victims he left behind are in need of prayers and help. 5. Ravi’s family is in need of prayer. Finally, we should pull together and learn from this and use it to strengthen our brotherly bonds instead of causing divisions. It’s tough to see someone you admire make a huge mistake, especially since it apparently wasn’t a one time event. Ravi will have to answer for that, but it’s out of our hands. I still admire King David even though he murdered someone for his wife. I still love Ravi even though he made a mess in his personal life. I’m even more scared that I will do something as foolish as we are all capable of it. The enemy wants us to focus on failure and would love nothing more than to continue this mess by causing others to fall. Hang tight my fellow travelers. We’re on the same side.
because their motive behind the whole Ravi thing is skewed & twisted. Her wife was her last defender & that's what she got. They didn't like her stand..
The way I see it, it is to protect her. So no one could condemn her or mock her for benefitting from the organization that was condemned because it was lead by a person who has committed that crime.
@@w1lm0r4 I'm sorry Carol...but...what? You really believe they were looking at her best interests of not being "mocked" as more important than her having a place to live? Please tell me you don't really believe that.
My heart went out to Margie, the children and grandchildren the day this news broke. I was burdened especially for Margie and prayed and prayed for her broken heart, and will still pray! 💔🙏❤
I have felt the same, realizing how much they loved and supported each other. She was on my mind; I pray for you Margie! Thank you for the message you sent to family and supporters.
Thank you for enlightening people to realize the deep hurt this woman is going through. I cannot imagine her pain. She needs all the kindness we can give her. God bless Margie.
Adam, thank you for your kindness towards Margie. After the news broke, I wondered how this dear woman was coping with a situation that was so multilayered, it hurt my heart to even try to imagine her pain and suffering. Her entire life just got pulled out from under her. Pray for Margie. And yes, love one another.
Ravi had no concern what so ever for his dear wife. He only was concerned for himself. Would you defend the average person like you are defending Ravi? If not then you are a respector of person's.
Thank you so much for saying that. I was going to use the same word "appalling". Nothing deserves this much vitriol and cruelty. The unkindness of people is beyond measure. No matter what his faults, Ravi taught us much of truth.
@@Rosie-ud7ul if we point out the truth of Ravi’s abuse and deceit is that really “attacking?” Or are we seeking to warn others about religious leaders who act the same way? Are we communicating compassion to all his victims some who have not received support? Let’s not assume we are “attacking. “
Recently I am loosing interest in watching anything related to Christian content because it’s like everyone is bickering at each other, it is as if online Christians make it their life’s purpose to come on RU-vid or other platforms and create content to tear other Christians down all in the name of expose because “the word said to expose”🙄😒. I’m like that’s not the only scripture in the Bible. Colossians 3:12-17 New English Translation Exhortation to Unity and Love 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy,[a] kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving[b] one another, if someone happens to have[c] a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others.[d] 14 And to all these[e] virtues[f] add[g] love, which is the perfect bond.[h] 15 Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body[i] to this peace), and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ[j] dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace[k] in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. In conclusion learn to called out your brother in love and not in pride. Merci!
And not a hint of this before he died? I honestly cannot buy into this so called scandal. Satan works to deceive and I fear all his teachings are now ruined.
@@paulettebevilacqua5473 Yes exactly. I have so many questions and in this so-called scandal, there are so many logical fallacies. 1. Why everyone said after he passed away 2. How can someone so confidently stand against everyone if they have been continuously doing those things 3. How these apologists who find logic everywhere, never ever saw anything suspicious living with Ravi sir for these many years 4. What was Ravi sir's necessary to travel around everywhere for the gospel, standing, and sitting for so many hours even if he had been taking injections for long ago? I am from India, and My church's pastor met Ravi sir 20 years ago, even at that time he came after taking an injection for his back pain. 5. How would he do such things against Jesus when he built international ministry to defend Jesus!! Anyways, i don't care what the world says, I know he is with Jesus and I know He attacked Devil so much and Devil couldn't hurt him while he lived that's why he attacked now.
Thank you for this video. I was a student at Alliance Theological Seminary in the early 1980s, and Ravi was one of my professors. I also did some house sitting for him, and I met Margie and his family. Their children were quite young at the time. I liked Margie a lot; she's smart, witty and kind.
Ravi never entered through the door of the sheep of Christ. No other pastors also enter through the door, so all of them are fake; don't follow them, as you will share in their sins.
GOD the Father well protect her ......1peter 2:23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
There is one thing she could do that would change maybe not all but a lot: Release Lori Anne Thompson from the non disclosure agreement. As long as it looks like you are trying to keep facts from coming out, it is difficult to appreciate your perspective.
Thank you for your kindness in this difficult situation. My heart breaks for Margie and her family, and I am very grateful for the teachings that Ravi gave us. His messages touched so many people, and helped me so much. Thank you for this message, Adam. I hope Margie has some comfort in knowing there are many of us who are praying for her and her family, and hold her in high honor.
Ravi Zacharias has helped to bring me closer to the knowledge of Jesus and his saving grace. I'm not interested in the life of the mesager I am more interested in the message .Men should leave judgement the Almighty God .Margie my prayers are with you and your family. May God give you and your family the strength you so need in these testing times.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db David committed grevious sin and he lost his exaultation. Peters sin was not as serious. We all sin but should repent. Ravi, lying from the start and being a constant predator didn't repent, did he?
I did at first, but when everything started trickling out and his daughter came forward along with the evidence starting back in 2017, left me with no tears to shed for him, not his family and certainly not the victims with whom I grieve for. Sorry, but have no years left for him at all. All his videos should be stripped off RU-vid by the family….
My heart goes out to Margie and the children and grandkids..I have kept you all in my prayers. I was an avid listener of Zacharias.I learnt so much truth from him and when I see his name come up I still listen to him.. Blessings and grace abound over you all. Lots of love in Jesus.
I have been a Christian for over 30 years and have seen a lot of scandals in churches. I am ashamed at the behavior of believers who are so unforgiving and uncharitable with the families. Though it is disappointing to learn about Ravi, he has been so influential in my life especially after I lost my husband 3 years ago. People need to remember Ravi was not God, and if you know the Bible, God chooses very flawed people to do his work. We should all be praying for this family, and remember Ravi’s good work.
You are so right God Bless you!! I teach at a Christian high school and I teach World Religions and we explore WORLDVIEWS that exist today and we also explore BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY WORLDVIEWS and we compare and contrast this Godly view with current Atheistic Worldviews. One of our DVDs I use talks about Why God allows EVIL and SUFFERING. In this DVD there is a youth pastor that talks about a Pastor that had a drug problem in the past. The Pastor had a RELAPSE and the Church voted to kick out both the former Pastor AND HIS INNOCENT WIFE AND CHILDREN!! This is so wrong and makes me cry every time I hear it!! Let he who is without Sin cast the first stone!!
You might say that Ravi had good works but I say what good works? I've watched videos of him speaking at Hinduism places and mormon tabernacles and not once does he warn them of not accepting Christ as their savior. All of it tried to focus on the similarities they have. Jesus says, " I am the truth the way the life no man goes to the Father except through Me. " truth is Ravi was a business man who lived in sin who used God's money to indulge in sexual sin. He'll be known as a hypocrite who the church should see as a bad example and try not to do same thing. He's forever sorry for playing everyone, including God. May God have mercy
God uses flawed people whose hearts are changed by Him & who respond in seeking Him to teach them, to be His representatives Jn. 15v7, e.g St. Paul the ex- murderer Saul of Tarsus. Michael Franzese, ex- mafia boss, Doreen Irvine ex- prostitute & ex- witch.
@@hugoanson2135 yes, paul was an murderer but ended well Ravi did just the opposite, he started out great then ended bad that's the difference. There's no excuse for what Ravi did, he literally used God's word and values to lure innocent people in and abused them. May God have mercy
@@aservant2287you are right no excuse at all for his actions . Neither was King David( murder, adulter) and yet the word said he was just a man after Gods heart. I believe Ravi was still searching for Gods heart also.
Of course you can judge his faults just as he or other Christians can and should judge yours. We're to correct and rebuke each other in love. It's unloving not to point it out. It's unloving to leave someone in their sin, in their alcoholism, in their pornography. In the same breath, we ought to be confessing our sins to those in Christ we trust. It's exactly what Jesus did... He didn't leave the woman caught in adultery to her adultery, he loved her enough to tell her he knew about it AND he invited her to turn in a different direction and follow him. Secondly, we can also hold in tension the fact that he also blessed you. It's ok to hold on to both of those truths. The Bible is full of tensions where two things are true. It's true that we have freedom to choose and at the same time God knows everything that we'll do.
He must repent and face justice.Forgiveness doesn't involve ever being near the abuser again,but let go of it.Jesus may have used him and maybe he was for real until he gave into temptation? WAS HE AN ABUSER ALL ALONG? Was he attacked by lust Spirit demons? Or just a PIG? Maybe he was BOTH,and gave into his FLESH? Did he repent,or is he in purgatory w Epstein?
My heart is with the family. I married a man I never dreamed led another life entirely ... never had a clue, would never have believed it if I were told. Margie is a precious victim who lost someone she loved and trusted. So very sad. God bless you, dear Margie.
Only victims of gross deception in a marriage understand the depth of hurt and pain. Especially from husbands that are believed to be godly christians. It is so great a blow she probably questioned her entire faith in God. Only Jesus can restore such damage.
I didn't forget to feel because no one has to instruct me with that. I don't know the Zacharias family. But, when I heard this horribly sad news about his passing and sorrowful legacy- his wife was the first I prayed for. My heart goes out to her for so many reasons. Thank you Adam for having compassion for the shoes his wife is having to walk in. Father God help her and see her through. Thanks Adam for covering this woman- I am sure your mom, wife, sister if you have any would be proud of you. :)
I'm pretty sure Ravi is innocent of their allegations and this is just demons using their servants yo attack a solider in Christ. If so i wouldn't dare speak a word against Ravi. Aleast bring forward some hard evidence before slandering the man because he isn't alive to defend him self any more. If he is truly innocent then God will do it for him. Once all the snakes have shown what side they are on first ofcourse.
@@arkhamkillzone There's plenty of "hard evidence" that has proved Ravi to be guilty of what he's been accused of. There is nothing wrong with having a great respect for his ministry and how God used it to strengthen the faith of others, however, that doesn't mean we should ignore truth and hurt victims even further by labeling them liars for the sake of blind loyalty. Christians are meant to seek after, and value truth and if we think that Ravi is innocent, we must have hard evidence to back that notion up. Not just a hunch. I encourage you to do the research and revise your stance. grace and peace 🤍.
@@nompilomazibuko4615 there are alot of hurt victims with Michael Jackson and Justine Bieber as well. They are all allegations tho and Justin actually challenged the rape claims and the ones accusing never showed up lol. So in this case it wouldn't surprise I'm the slightest if some are trying to have Ravi fame rub off on them. I certainly hope not but once again I have not seen any hard evidence (neither did you) cause they didn't not release any. All I see is statements off anonymous people making claims against someone who is dead. Get over it! That's what I would tell the accusers. Should have said something 2 years ago.
@@arkhamkillzone s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rzimmedia.rzim.org/assets/downloads/Report-of-Investigation.pdf I'm deeply saddened to hear a Christian say something as harsh as "get over it" to people expressing deep hurt or trauma, even if they were lying, this response is incredibly unloving. Our response should be as gracious as possible solely because of the sensitive nature of the accusations. The above is the link to the report done by an independent and credible source. It seems incredibly odd not to trust eye witness testimonies when all of the biblical and historical evidence (on literally every historical event that has ever been documented,) is based on eye witness accounts (including the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ). I will no longer be responding because I don't think I have anything more to say. grace and peace.
Adam, you have spoken on behalf of so many, thank you. I have found the lack of love and compassion towards the grieving Zacharias family really sad and disappointing
The Zacharias family lied, deceived and manipulated the situation with Ravi for decades - they knew about the allegations and staff were threatened - get your facts straight! Margie is living in denial - no cares about your 'heart' and you are simply defending a name and a lack of respect is what has been displayed to the victims of Ravi's depravity - and you have become the example in this - you're not! Margie knew her husband was living in other countries for months at a time - what did she think he was doing?!You're not seeking to honor anyone but yourself and this isn't about Margie this is about the countless thousands of woman that were abused by Ravi
@@gracelatour3441 I’m sure everyone would appreciate the ‘links’, to all your ‘investigative facts’. You spew plenty of anger here w/o any proof to back any of it up. I only read his partner in the spas suspected &/or was aware of his abhorrent behavior. And was angry at himself for not taking a stronger stand against him about it. But he was treading lightly on the ‘image’ & the repercussions for the ministry. This was months ago, so maybe there’s more I’ve missed, being I haven’t made it my mission to keep up 24/7. If you have more than that, as you spew, than please, _do tell_ & point to where we can all ‘see for ourselves.’ Or just end your raging about it & ask Jesus to help you w/your obvious problem.
@@jamestamz what if he is ? what have you done that gives you the merit to be there ? are you without sin ? have you spread the gospel as far and as wide as he has ? are you the master of God ? you humans are pitiful your limited perception only outdone by your even more limited range of thought do you think you are here on earth because God thought of you as a prime and unblemished example of this species ? a type of Christ figure here to look down upon the rest of us ? no , you are a POS just like the rest of us here , you deserve hell as surely as Ravi , as surely as I do the only difference is that I know it and you don't , because if you did , you would be quiet , because a loudmouth on death-row should know better than to attract the attention of the guards or do you think your virtue signalling here will distract God from your sins ?
Ravi's death and discovery of his indiscretion is simply a reminder that he was a mere man, no greater or less than any one of us and as such, was just as vulnerable to earthly temptations as any one of us.
At least you understand, and you know that regardless of all that is said, Ravi is a humanbeing and was also in need of salvation, therefore all that is said and done, Ravi served the Lord and was used mightily to answer questions
Finally, a non condescending voice. People act as though that they have reached practical Holiness this side of eternity. What skeletons would we find in the most outspoken critics closest.
Appreciate that, @EdwardWicks! If I’m being transparent, I definitely know that I can have a critical heart at times as well. Sometimes it’s hard not too! It simply goes to show our NEED for our Savior and the grace and the power of God in our lives. Thanks for the encouragement and I’m glad this helped!
holiness and sexual abuse are two absolute opposites. If the allegations are true, as proven, then he was not saved. Don't act like Ravi was just "imperfect" he was in willful sin. The accusation was made while he was alive and he dismissed it with no apology. The man was evil.
This is a beautiful message of Grace, Forgiveness and Mercy♥️♥️Thank you. Unfortunately social media has given so many a platform to judge everything and everyone. This is why our world is falling apart. Before I post anything about anyone I always ask God to be my hands and feet. Let what I say glorify you♥️
Ravi is in heaven, he gave his life to his ministry.I admire Margie for her statement. I follow him for years. He loved Jesus. Let's not be so eager to judge him.I pray for his wife and family .We are not here to Judge, grace and mercy to us all.
My adult son was brought closer to coming to the Lord (which he finally did) because of Ravi’s brilliance. This hurts my heart so much because I’ve loved him so much and will always be grateful for him.
Bless your heart Adam for presenting a challenging and delicate issue with a sense of sensitivity and finisse towards Ravi's widow. Praying that Margie may find peace and comfort through The Holy Spirit and from her closest loved ones and friends. This fallen world is cruel and that cruelty is not foreign from the so-called Body of Christ.
Thank you. Well said. May we not allow our own disappointment lead us to treating Margie as anything other than a grieving widow and sister in Christ. She has suffered more than we can grasp or imagine. Let us also grieve with Margie and the family.
My heart goes to Margie. Ravi stays in my heart. His preachings blessed me and no bad writing about him can change my admiration and respect for him. No one is perfect. Everyone sinned and no man is exempt.
I will never believe the lies written, said, about Ravi. We know there are those out there who will do anything & every thing 2 pull Christianity down & especially those of high profile like Ravi who are not shamed 2 be know as a follower of Jesus of Nazareth. Ravi was not only highly intelligent with that amazing ability to enable the every day Jo Blo like myself to understand complex issues he also had that ability 2 mix with commoners & kings. As he got older he became more handsome yet his good looks meant nothing to him. That made him more attractive. I say 2these women who blatantly lied; the truth of this matter is; You wanted to touch him not he you. In short, Hell has no fury like a woman/ women scorned!
I'm not sure how after RZIM's reports concluded that these things have happened that people continue to hold RZ in such high regard, to victim shame after many victims, unknown to eachother, have come forward with similar accounts and proof has been presented, and proof that stand up to biblical standards, is truly baffling to me. This is a huge part of what is wrong with the church. You will protect a predator by calling victims liars and continue to put RZ on a pedestal? The bible clearly states that those who teach will be judged with greater strictness than those who do not. So we do not get to dismiss what has happened as oh he's just another sinner. This was not a stupid man. He knew what he was doing was wrong, and he chose to do it anyway in arrogance and defiance to the scriptures and God. Now there is a wake of victims, those who were sexually victimized, those who were lied to for decades, those who trusted him, those in his ministry teams, even the church. But let's continue to stick our heads in the sand and pretend this didn't happen, and blame those victims for one mans depravity. Let's keep glorifying a fallen and broken man, and not Jesus himself who demands truth, who IS TRUTH. Y'all need to go back to scripture and pray for God to open your eyes, as you are not seeing truth, you're actually actively denying truth and that is not a biblical response to what has happened here.
Just saw the 2013 Sermon "What does it mean to be Human." It is probably one of the greatest sermons I've seen and heard in my life. I wish God would have used me to speak in that fashion and manner. Great Sermon! Great Sermon!
Ravi is still my hero. My sympathy is with his family; what an embarrassing situation they are in. Why are people so evil and heartless. The devil is taking full advantage in these whole situation Let God almighty be our final judge.
I do not believe for one minute that your statement is true. That has not happened in the Christian community. There is zero "vile mob mentality" concerning what has happened to Margie or Ravi. To talk about what's happened is a very healthy thing that families do. We cannot always be talking about sunshine & puppies. We must discuss all topics openly bcuz Ravi's sin was done openly. Margie has to stuff bcuz those are the consequences. Sad but true.
I appreciate the sentiment. Many Christians have done well in this matter. Many people are truly heartbroken - and we should never follow the world with words of disrespect to Margie.
@@marcieanderson3762 What a sad representation of ‘Christians’ you are. If you are one. I pity you. Ask Jesus to help you see what you don’t. And to forgive you for your blindness. Apparently you haven’t read much in comments on other videos made by those like you, who are almost gleefully spewing their personal takes on this horror show. Even some vile spewers on this one.
If there’s one thing Evangelical Christians love to do, it’s to condemn other Christians. That Pharisee up at the front of the sanctuary never knew he was surrounded by a great host of The Holier Than Them.
The choice is ours. One of the best sermons that I’ve ever heard came from Ravi at Mount Paran years ago. Do I throw the sermon away? The word that he preached is still the word. The word doesn’t change, no matter who preaches it. When I hear the word my answer should always be amen! There are scores of videos here that Ravi left, and the Holy Spirit can still guide the unbeliever with them, or they can be used for study. What Ravi did in answering questions people have about the gospel is something we all should be able to do.
That poor woman, I can’t imagine the roller coast of emotions Margie must be experiencing and feeling. Disbelieve, betrayal, loss, brokenness and much more. Thank you Father God that you hold Margie in the palm of your hand, you do not condemn her or hold her responsible for the actions of her husband but rather you pour out mercy and grace with each new day.
My heart has been broken for Margie since the first rumor of this detestable situation came up. She has been in prayers constantly. It is beyond the scope of my imagination what she must be going through. May God's grace, wisdom, strength and comfort envelope her constantly. Thank you so much for posting this. Blessings to you.
All love and appreciation to Margie and family. Ravi taught me, and I listen to his sermons today. I loved him and always appreciate his brilliance and teachings. May God continue in love, strengthen, and providing for Margie and family.
The enemy knows that Jesus is coming soon that is why he is so angry with the good news that Ravi spread. I grew a lot by listening to his teachings.No matter what the enemy do the Spirit will let the seeds grow that had fallen in good ground. He did what he had to teach the good news and he is now going to get the crown 👑 that he was working for amen
I tried to imagine what it must feel like to be told the person you have loved with all your heart, and have known and trusted completely, is not whom you believed him to be. Rather than a saint, you are being told he was a snake. Would you embrace the evidence or look for flaws in the new narrative? How do you deconstruct the memory of someone who has been a pillar of love and strength in your life? It's probably a lot easier to build a defensive wall around his shrine. I'll continue to pray that God will give Margie the strength to get through this heartbreaking ordeal. We need to have compassion for others. Thanks for demonstrating the kind of Christian compassion that we need to show.. .
Don't worry about what people have to say Margie. How they react to a situation shows who they are. My sympathies and prayers are with you. From Sri Lanka. ❤️
I am a man who has lost not one but two wives to cancer. Both of them were godly women, both beautiful inward and out. I think it would be very hard for me to accept it if someone was to come along and tell me that one of them wasn't what I thought she is! And then to find out it was true that she was a hypocrite or whatever the evidence is pointing out! I would have to literally go into second state of grief! I would have go into the process of acceptance again! Only way I could do that is God's Grace(2 Cor.12:7-11) ! Only through Christ Which strengthen s me(Phil.4:13)! And then it would be someone you lived with and loved in a marriage bond for nearly fifty years! I think in Margie's it would be a nightmare that would pretty follow for the rest of her life! So she deserves our prayers!
Many did. Try to keep that in the forefront. It will get easier as time allows. He was well versed in his mind. It doesn’t appear to have reached the depths of his heart, however. His final destination is between him & God. I would think he begged forgiveness on his deathbed. Just sad he didn’t from Margie. :/
Thank you for your kind words. I am a widow and my daughter is a widow. People are cruel to us for no reason. I had a good husband and my daughter did.too. People have been like vultures to us. Widows are not reversed or respected by people like the Bible says to do. You would not believe what we have gone through.
So hard to hear that. I am sorry to hear that. I don't know your age but I find people in our country are rude to people as they grow older...even in the church...Dear Lord, help us love one another. Forgive us for sinning against each other.
This was beautifully done. Thank you for doing this. I am a Christian as well and this is something that is most needed. I thank God for this. May God bless and keep you.
Ravi woke up in me my faith I was losing after yrs of going to "dead" churches. We all are sinners, we are all going to account for those sins. God bless Margie n her children. They can face the world standing up straight in faith through Christ. God bless you all.
I have walked through the heartache of infidelity. My husband was someone I never thought would ever be capable of such a betrayal. This woman was someone he witnessed to at the gym and than claimed she was a friend. She actually came to church and sat with our family in church. I had a strong intuition that their relationship was becoming much more than friendship I addressed it with him and he of course denied it. He would not give up her “friendship”. I sought help from our church. There are so many more details to what happened and what I went through. My husband ultimately decided he needed to leave and within a week he was with this woman. Believe me when I tell you that they were people that actually said I should have made him give up the friendship. I did ask him to stop the friendship with her but he refused. The Lord held me and carried me through this painful experience. And the thing that is most amazing is that the Lord helped me to forgive even in the midst of all of this because of his great love for me. If I did not forgive I would not be able to go forward with my life. I did not want to remain a victim of someone else’s infidelity for the rest of my life. Please understand that his wife is not the one that should be criticized or hurt even more especially from her own brothers and sisters in Christ. They should be holding her up and supporting her through all of this. I cannot imagine her grief losing her husband and finding all of this out after his death. A secret life. And if she had any inkling that there might’ve been something going on can you imagine that pain. I have been there I know what it does to you it eats away at you even though the person that is involved in the infidelity continues to make you feel like you are just not trusting them. I pray that those around her and those brothers and sisters she has known for years would help her and in time of need him to forgive to move on. The one thing is to remember God always uses our pain for his glory that we can help others that go through the same experience.
Your former Husband is not a man he's a boy that doesn't know Christ. I'm so sorry you went through this Patricia 😞. 'If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.' (1 John 1:6
So much strength in your words. You truly overcame the hurt, now you are brilliant. Now that you're free you can give so much! If we stood the trial we earn the crown.
Thank you for this episode . To those who are bullying the legacy of Ravi let us remember what Jesus said "who among you is sinless cast the first stone"
Matsung longkumer, “ bullying the legacy of Ravi”? Seriously? Can’t you accept the truth of his behavior? It’s not “bullying” Ravi when we tell you what he did, how he treated vulnerable women and others. Do your research.
@@kurtanderson5023 then you the elec! That can cast the first stone!!? Kurt one day we all be in the judgement day to pay for what we did! But now in this earth we need to pray for our brothers and sisters encourage them according to the Bible! Maybe you and a lot people like you need to read more the scriptures and let the judgment to the lord that knows everything
@@deliarobinson3185 I always appreciate the encouragement to read and study Gods Word. But that isn’t the issue here. Ravi harmed and manipulated many innocent people. That’s a fact and there is evidence. Commenters like myself have a moral obligation to point out, using Gods love, what Ravi did. Or what others do to innocent victims. Our desire is to follow the steps that Paul told Timothy to follow. You can “encourage” those who mistreat others like Ravi did. But I won’t. I will disqualify them from the ministry and warn others about their manipulative, deceitful behavior. That is the Biblical response that God demands of us. Do you want to protect innocent people or allow them to be harmed injured and violated?
Margie is not the enemy. She was married to a man who fell from the grace of God. I don’t understand how people can be so blind to the fact that, Margie is a victim to her husband’s fall and blindness.
I can understand how she feels after seeing my mother go through this. My father died 4 years ago. 30 plus years of marriage and she still lives in the same same house. That’s a hard reminder. And Paul instructed us we to take care of the widows. People won’t understand it until they go through it. Look how wicked we truly are.
What a powerful perspective, @Mr.Wood. I’m sorry for the loss of your father and I’m sure your mother knows exactly what it feels like. 30 years of marriage is a truly a beautiful thing and a testament to the love of God. Praying for your family!
We need to take care of WIDOWERS TOO!! My dad was one and the church ignored him. In fact, they told him that he should have given ME up for adoption...yet asks me 30 years later, "What is your relationship like with him?" Hypocrites!
God bless you!! The ministry failed woefully to uphold scripture in the situation. Who knows if it is a propaganda by the ministry because of all the money involved. This is a multi-million dollars ministry that Ravi built before he passed. You know what they say about the love of money...Just saying. I wont trust a ministry that is quick to kick a widow out of the house where she lived with her husband that built a great ministry because of his failures while he was here. We are dealing with the widow now not the man! where is our compassion and the heart of Christ?
@@saxmanjpr5092 Wow. After my husband died, I asked somebody in my church for help. His response? "If you can't take care of your children, you should put them up for adoption." I'm not sure that any secular group would have told me that.
Thank you for remembering that we are not here to criticize and vilify each other when things go wrong. Margie is a human being who loved her husband and her world crashed when he died. My heart broke for her and her children and grandchildren. God will carry her through this, however we should help not hinder that journey.
My observation is;churches and Christian people often talk about love and forgiveness, but when push comes to shove, they don't usually practice it.i say that as a practicing Christian for 50yrs.🇳🇿
Finally, Love message to this situation! Thank You Jesus! I am so tired of public talking of many big well known preachers. Some of them sent Ravi to the hell already. Some of them provided "perfect" analyzes. But who was mostly hurt? Ravi's dear wife and Jesus. Do we know last talk of Ravi to them? Really do we know all? The full true we will know one day, day when I or you will stand before God and God will not show me, you Ravi's life but mine or yours! Keep it on your mind! Do not send to the hell any person in your mind. Because one day you could be surprise. My, your life is still running. Do you stand strongly? If yes, keep your heart humbled, it is the only ground to run to the final victory. I know what it is to fell down as a follower of Jesus Christ and wanna tell you, Jesus gives to us the chance to last possible moment to regret and to say our humbled sorry to Him and to siblings.
As a widow of nine years whose name is constantly mispronounced, I want to thank you for saying this. When we stand before God in judgement day we will stand alone for our actions. But while we are here we should be supporting each other in light of Romans 12: 9-10.
I am Catholic and I loved Ravi when he was still alive and i still do. I respect the man for what he had tried to stand for. I am grateful to him for the lessons i learned and I will not forget them nor would i forget Ravi. His deeds, he will answer to GOD but his words will remain in my heart. I do not feel anger, i only feel sorrow and my family and I will always pray for him. GOD bless his family, too.
LOL he was not christian apparently, it was an act, to sustain income, he lost faith 15 years ago, his family member and close aids said this. Anybody can act like Ravi. Anty christianity is dead really.
Thank you Adam. As always your kindness and passion for the truth shines though! I feel so for Margie and the family. It is time to let them grieve in peace now!
Hi what sad thing to say to a man that help strengthen and influence my Christian Lìfe. I am from Papua New Guinea one of last Country to be Christianatised as I am making this comment we have the Sevent Day Adventist World President here in the Country Preaching Message of Hope in Book of Revelation for two weeks a Country of about 80% uneducated. A Denomination established by by Backslidin Baptist followers It is man like Ravi that help me in my Christian growth. The Hope is Jesus Only. Ravi from a Hindus background to become a Great Inspiration in Gospel of the Truth. The God of Abraham. Let God be the Judge. His rewards are in Heaven. I believe there are much for Him Thankyou Ravi. May God Bless his Family in whatever circumstances they are going through. Praying for you
100% True! This Man Is Condemning Ravi Over And Over And Trying To Make Is Channel Famous SHAME ON HIM? Guilty Or Not Judgement Belongs To God! Not For Morons Like This?
I met him when he was in Jakarta, it was an honor meeting him. Whatever he did when he was still alive, we must remember that he was a human, we worship our Lord Jesus Christ. We must forgive and move on and that’s what being Christian is!!!
There's being human then repenting. Then there is living a lifestyle of lies, adultery, manipulation, rape and taking from God to finance it all and using His name as a shield to cover it up and crush others in the process. Read the investigation on what they found out he did. I heard it read to me and wanted a bath afterwards. Christians CANNOT sweep this under a rug. If we do, we alienate every victim of sexual abuse that we should be reaching out to and make ourselves a mockery for a double standard of morality. I'm not saying we should bury RZ's family, it's likely they are his victims too. But we cannot make light of this and call ourselves a people that fear God. The truth is God hates this behavior more RZ's victims do. The situation is horrifying and tragic.
Mimi Gee. Amen. I thank our LORD, that I gleaned from Brother Ravi's teachings, many truths for my growth, as a Christian. I shall ever be grateful to our LORD, for using Brother Raviis teachings, to feed the multitudes. All other things I offer into YOUR HANDS, in JESUS NAME Amen.
@@Stranger_Than_Fiction299 I agree with your statement 100 percent. We all sin but when we ask God for forgiveness then we are to stop the sinful behavior. I feel for his family and all who trusted him!
This is heartbreaking! No matter what Ravi did you have a wife of 48 years that has lost a husband, regardless of what kind of person he was, what he did, she has lost the husband that SHE has known and loved, not what the public now knows and sees! How can she be expected to turn on all of the love and memories that she has known for an idea and events that was brought forward after his death!?!? The memories and thoughts of him are already painful in his absence and now she is expected to replace all of that with this new revelation that her husband isn't here to answer for!?! This man, regardless of what he has done out of her sight, is the man she has done life with for a big chunk of her life, they made decisions together, they solved problems together and now she is alone! She also has her children to think of, publicly denouncing her children's father!?!? No mother would want to do that!!!! She is stuck with her truth and now the other truth brought forth by an investigation of people that aren't close to her and now the public. Of course she is going to stand beside the man she did life with, brought children in the world with, prayed with, knelt with, how can you expect her to do anything different!?! To change everything she has ever known after he is no longer here???? I just can't even imagine what she is going through! For them to now take her house from her!?! The home with all their memories!? She is a victim in all of this, why is she being treated like she is guilty in anything other than being a devoted wife of 48 years and mother!?!?!
@@gracelatour3441 we don't know what she "knew" and their are many women that are abused that are still loyal and love their spouse. Ravi was all those things, but Margie is a victim of the him as well! She shouldn't be held accountable and treated as if she did all those things!
The women aren’t innocent. Oh gosh w everyone freak out on me now. I have been in a similar situation and while the man/men weren’t innocent, I was a participant and accepted financial help and gain. These women are not innocent
Grace Latour, you need to go back and read and put into application Galatians 6:1. If you read James 2:10, we all can be aptly called those things you so readily labeled Ravi with.
Johan, South Africa. Margie my heart bleeds for you and the family. I praise Gods name and thank Him for putting me and my wife in touch with Ravi thru RU-vid. We will always remember his wisdom in showing us the true road of Christ. God bless you and your family.
Adam, thanks for producing this spiritual and heartfelt segment. I came back to faith in Christ almost 2 years ago, heavily influenced by many of Ravi's videos online and a couple of his books. He had just died when I came around and then a few months later all of these "revelations" come out about him. Yes, I was disappointed that it seemed evident that Ravi had some sin issues, but I have been totally appalled at the venomous, judgmental critiques, most of whom claim to be Christians, that kick this dead man when he is gone. I'm not trying to defend any wrong actions of Ravi, but there are certainly questions of why so many of these people and women came out against him AFTER he died. IF all of these accusations are true, one also needs to ask if there was not complicity in the sin by many of his accusers. Finally, my main issue is with purported Christian's reactions to this in the public forum of RU-vid and the internet. The judgers and accusers of this dead man will stand at the same throne of judgment Ravi will. I think it will be very interesting to hear what God says to each and every party. Even if Ravi was guilty of all accusations, it does not change who God is or did through Ravi. Judging by the fruits of his ministry just in my own life, I will not sit among the accusers and judges quietly. I will not let secularists or Christian judges convince me that his books and works are "trash" to be obliterated. If that is the case, I can give you a long list of "famous Christians" who should then be treated equally. Based on the Ravi Ministries atrocious treatment of Margie, I will no longer be looking to them as sources of trusted input as they obviously have just been fighting to survive by trashing their founder. God's grace is sufficient, even for Ravi. Compare his sins with those of many of "God's favorites" in the old testament and then come back and convince me that somehow Ravi was NOT chosen by God or question his salvation. You are in error to judge...and Christians are never to judge their brother, especially in front of the unGodly and heathens that most of the world is made up by. Shame on many of these Christian "judges"...and I pray that repentance of the judges will eventually win out over the venom and negative spirits they have conjured up or gone along with. The church overall has a lot of blood on its hands in handling these kinds of circumstances and sinners. I still say the worst thing about Christianity as a religion is how it kicks their soldiers when they are down or dead...or takes on the role of judgment that God will not share with any other but Himself! Continued prayers for Margie and her family...
@@AttySig But God didn't allow David's sin to be hidden and David was still punished and his punishment affected many in his life beginning with the innocent infant son. Why should Ravi deserve the same legacy as King David is it because like David he admitted what he did? Oh wait a minute Ravi didn't.
@@AttySig First I never said I knew whether or not Ravi repented before he died and I can only hope so. But if I were you I wound not compare him to King David. When David was confronted with his sin by the prophet Nathan he "acknowledged it" he didn't go to his grave lying. It was not covered up, it was not hidden, it is in the Bible for everyone to read and his repentance is in Psalm 51 for everyone to see.
Thank you Edward. My sentiments exactly. Do these so called Christians write David out of their bible? and what about Solomon, Sampson, and others who failed during their lives? What about me? I wouldn't be here if it was not for the grace and salvation of Jesus.
you never choose kindness /over the truth... Jesus certainly didn't...He spoke the truth ( word of God)......and called hypocrites out and false prophets & pharisees....Keeping the peace is only hiding sin...in order for true forgiveness...you must be a peacemaker...not a peace keeper.....you must acknowledge the sin & repent...I am very sorry for Ravis wife and family....but....Bottom line...he did sin ...and we all sin BUT he was to be held more accountable in light of his calling...He also had a lifestyle of sin... ..but as Christ said...(you will reap what you sow and sometimes its family members husband/wife that brings judgement to the undeserving...this is one of those times...
@@Theranchhouse1 Truth can be very different from being right. Often we "think" we are right, but we are not. So it is better to be kind, as often, only God has all the information while we do not.
Believe in Jesus doesnt mean to choose kindness over Truth - she means kindness is more right than being haughty and proud in your personal opinion about others.
Thank you brother Adam. God Bless you! We need to pray for Margie and her family. May God give them the strength to stay strong during these tough times.
As many other commenters have said, when this happened and unfolded my heart immediately went to Margie. On the other hand, our sin (financial, social, emotional, sexual, etc.) effects our life beyond ourselves. In addition to be gracious It SHOULD also be commentary on how your sin has far greater consequences as it ripples through other people’s lives.
How but all the woman that were abused and shot down by Christians , they didn’t believe them. But believed ministry . God is cleaning up and let justice come to victims
I have been careful not to listen to many peoples' commentary regarding Ravi's legacy. I felt compelled to watch this video. You eloquently provided a snapshot to allow us to see into Margie's experience. Acknowledging the depth and complexity of her grieving experience, which from the outside looking has been trivialized. Thank you for your Christ-hearted response.
@ForeverSong This means a lot, thank you! Like I share in the video, I honestly had NO intention of speaking into this, especially with so many other videos that I’ve done. Then I decided to pray about it and ask the Lord what HE wanted as opposed to MY plans-always a dangerous move 🙂. He allowed me the “snapshot” that you mentioned and it was Him and ONLY Him! You’ve encouraged my heart and I want to thank you for confirming that I made the right choice by stepping out in faith on this one. Thanks for being a blessing!
It has truly broken my heart that a grieving widow is being treated this way. No compassion for her and what she must be going through! Thank you, Adam, for saying what has been on my heart. Have I become so obsessed with justice that i have forgotten that Christ commands me to forgive everyone who sins against .me? This is the same Jesus Who prayed. "Father, forgive them, " as they were nailing his hands and feet to a Cross, where he sufferwd and died for MY sins!
After being married to my wonderful God-given husband of 52 years, and being a widow for the last 13 years, I can understand the heartbreak of Margie with all those memories to look back upon and the loneliness she must be feeling. I had so much respect for Ravi and loved his teachings and his wisdom and the books he wrote. None of us are perfect, who is justified to throw the first stone? I praise the Lord for His forgiveness and mercy and the restoration He brings to the hurting hearts. My sincere love and prayers are for you Margie. May you experience the ongoing love, the strength, and peace that only God can give. 🎚🙏
Adam, thank you so much for bringing a genuinely compassionate, human face and voice to the situation for Margie. ❤️ It is absolutely impossible to begin to understand what this is really like for her, but I have thought many times of her and their children, and how deeply their hearts will be hurting. 💕 This multiple layered grief process must be like sitting under a gigantic boulder for them. I have close personal friends who have mentored me from a position of Christian leadership for many years. It recently emerged that the husband has sexually abused young boys over a number of years 😪 He is now convicted - he pled guilty to a reduced charge from the original - and is awaiting sentencing. It has rocked and shocked our circles. ❤️ We must continue to pray for the families, and many of us are praying for this guy to allow Jesus to heal his heart as well.
Thank you for this, Adam. We should ask ourselves, what would Jesus do? I hope we are doing what He would do, mourn with those who mourn. Why do Christians shoot their wounded? Margie was truthful, she could not find anything suspicious. She is a good, faithful wife, God bless her. 😢
Margie faith in GOD is as truthful as RAVI's faith in GOD. Ravi taught us wisdom from GOD. He did not profess but spoke technically about Jesus and his belief in GOD. We will love him always, Margie and family too. MALAYSIA
That is what I thought too. I felt really bad for her. I can’t imagine what she is going through and I don’t blame her for feeling the way she does, whether people call it denial or not. A woman of God has been broken into pieces, her heart is shattered. She thought her husband was for her but it turned out she didn’t know him as well as she thought she knew him. He lived a double life. She became a victim of his actions. I still remember the way Ravi talked about his wife whenever he gave speeches...I thought it was so beautiful and I said that is some Godly marriage and that is what all of us Christians should strive to have but nothing is what it seemed like. How can she think that a man who she thought loved her wholeheartedly for this many years would do such a vile action to her. I understand her feelings and I sympathize with her, no need to call her out. People need to show grace of what she is going through and like you said she is morning two deaths. The magnitude of feeling she is going through is far beyond what others are saying as they are watching it from the sideline and not actually going through it. It is easy to call out whenever you are on the sideline seat but it isn’t so easy when you are in. It. People should put their shoes in her place and think about what they would feel if that was them. My only prayer is that may God give her abundant comfort and strength to move through this unimaginable pain.
I have questioned the motives of people on You Tube talking about this since day one. I made sure I only listened to very few, trustworthy Christians who don't want to gossip about or sensationalize anything on their channels. I read the RZIM letters and reports for myself because I had been on their email list prior to these discussed situations. I prayed for the wife and family. The situation seems complicated and tragic for many. I don't know anyone personally at any level, so I can only pray and believe the Lord will come into the situations, hearts and lives of all involved and bring healing, peace and good out of it. I just happened to see this video that came up in my feed. Keep praying and keep looking into our own hearts in our own lives. Follow Jesus.
Amen. The shock is wearing off now. Reality is setting in. Margie & the whole family needs prayer, always. We all have things we would be ashamed of if our dirty laundry was hung out for the world to see. Anyone who says they don’t, is a LIAR. And we know how God feels about that.
We've no right to vilify Ravi. What Ravi accomplished for Jesus n the millions of lives he touched across the world. We still are scratching the surface. He that is without sin let him cast the first stone. Let us bear the families margee n the children in our prayer. I'll always look unto Ravi as a mentor, teacher, preacher, edifier. I'm sure Ravi is safe in the arms of Jesus. Just like the thief on the cross. Jesus said to him today ull be with me in paradise. God bless.
I never believed allegations against Ravi Zacharias for the reason that the RZIM board violated the Bible by reaching out to unbelievers to conduct the investigation - clear violation of 1 Corinthians 6. Maybe they need to focus less on apologetics and more on the pure Word of God. They chose to believe a professional (in my view) gold digger - just listen to her giving interviews - she is a clever phycologist and had a strategy to take down Ravi. I don't understand why the board decided to believe a married woman who takes naked selfies and sends them to strangers. It's shameful that the RZIM board members, colleagues and friends got blindsided and CANCELed Ravi.
They waited until after he died, then they came out to take everything he had. They waited until he couldn't defend himself. He bought that massage place, after he got hurt in a bad personal area on his body. He wasn't trying to hide it, he talked about it when he traveled, because it helped him. He was doing a good thing, because he was also helping other people, with employment. It was to help people, get relief from their injury, and pain, without feeling embarrassed. When he got sick with cancer and needed to stop the money flow, they were only concerned about the business. They were thinking about themselves, and got attorneys that were not Christian. They saw how much he was worth, and they started planning. His injury was in a personal area, and they knew how to get to that area. They were supposed to be like nurses/ professionals. He wasn't hiding anything, and his family should have sued them, for slander and defamation against Ravi. After he died, their lawyer had a RU-vid livestream asking if anyone else knew anything. I started asking them questions, and they had no answers. Dead men can't defend themselves. They got away with their crimes here on earth, but not when they go into the afterlife. There is no proof, only a set up. Ravi knew God, and would have been afraid to die without repenting. He would have told her about it, no matter how much it hurt her. Ravi feared our awesome God, and spent his life trying to bring others to the truth. He would have just stayed home, with his family, and done some other work for God. The devil is a liar, he wants to destroy, and that is what he tried to do to Ravi and the family he had to leave behind. This entire lawsuit was to make his family feel like they never knew Ravi. I pray that they see that this was planned, and God will have the last word. Ravi told them he had to close that business because it wasn't making any money, it was losing money. He was talking about it in public, so it was no secret, or ugly, like they made it out to be. I am so sad for his family, and pray they don't believe the lies. They treated his family like trash, and they will all regret everything they allowed, for money. The love of money, and attorneys who don't know God, are the devil's combination to destroy good people who love Jesus.
Thank you Adam for sharing your heart. Part of discipleship is helping others to deal with and respond to difficult situations. Margie and the family are in my prayers. The trauma Margie must be experiencing is hard to imagine and as you said her reactions and responses need to be treated with much grace.
Wonderful word! Thank you for sharing your heart. As a former victim myself (of a family member) I understand the importance of forgiveness and making sure we see everyone as a HUMAN with feelings at ALL times. Including the ones that we might deem "unclean". It's our job to love. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you, Ama! I appreciate you sharing some of your story and I’m sorry you walked through that. I’m glad this blessed you and let’s continue to pray for all victims involved in this type of abuse! Appreciate you watching!
We have all been through the same hurt, and more so Margie and she so much need our support now. I thank you Adam for your view! God bless you and Margie.
THIS VIDEO IS EXACTLY HOW BELIEVERS SHOULD TREAT EACH OTHER!! While I am NOT condoning anything that has been found out about Ravi, who would want their life lay open before the world? Does anyone of us measure up? Does ANYONE want their whole private world made public for all to comment on? Thank you for reminding Believers that THIS^^^ is Christ's heart toward us. MAY IT BE OURS TOWARDS EACH OTHER!
I just read your text here Katherine, I hope and pray the love of God through Jesus Christ brings you peace and comfort, my sincerest condolences to you and I pray you will be ok .God bless and keep you,🙏🙏🙏
You so right people need to leave her alone ..asking her to leave her home at her age ..is sad and cruel . She's old now and needs to be respected .sh did nothing .he did so .....let her live a peaceful life ...
So wonderfully said. This is how I've felt about every Christian or non Christian that has to go through something like this, the sadness that I feel when they have to face the consequences of their sin and how it profoundly affects the family. I just want to shout, "Leave them all alone!"
in short, the ministry he started dumped his family? Lesson: Don't put trust in people. Provide for your family even after you're gone. Only heaven will bring permanent comfort and treat you well.
The visual aide lesson in all of this should be, be sure your sin find you out. Do not sin! Sin has consequences on your loved ones. The ministry didn't dump Margie. Ravi violated the standards of the ministry that he started. I agree in that Margie trusted her husband Ravi & he let her down. He didn't provide for her. Ravi committed the sin against the victim's, his wife & his family & ministry. Big object lesson if you ask me.
Thank you Mr Simon for being the one in a million to show Christian love and honor. It is always easy to throw stones at tombstone but to put flowers on it takes sacrifice and effort. 💐
