* May 31, 2007 Lugoff, SC : 1:50am
The phone rings. I am thinking: somebody in our family has died, or there has been a serious accident involving a loved one.

But, thankfully, that is not the case. A brother in Christ had received a call around midnight from a young man that he had studied with a year before. This man desires to be baptized right away!

* 2:10am With little hesitation, (only enough to fully wake & dress,) I am driving to the building in Camden to meet with Kenny & this young man.

While I am driving, I am think-ing how joyous this morning is going to be, & what a wonderful way to start a new day!
Praise be unto God for all that He
has done!!!

* Camden, SC 2:20am
I arrive at the building. The young man is already there wait-ing. I walk over & introduce myself.
![Page 12: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
He apologizes for how early it is, but I tell him that it doesn’t matter what time it is when one wants to obey the Gospel! A short while later, Kenny arrives, & we all go in & sit down on the front pew.
![Page 13: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The young man begins to talk about his desire to be right with God, & his justified fear of going to the Judgment unprepared. His fear is truly justified!

* 2:35am He relates that the studies that he had had with Kenny over a year before had caused him to look deep inside himself, & to re-evaluate his life up to that point.
![Page 18: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
He has had no peace, true peace, in his life since he ended the studies. Kenny & I are joyously anticipating this precious soul being added to the Lord’s Body: of gaining another brother in Christ!

* 2:45am The baptistery this entire time has been filling with water, & Kenny leaves to see if it is ready. Then this young man begins to relate to me a serious situation that he is involved in.
![Page 23: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
As Kenny returns, he relates that this situation involves a deception that has serious consequences if it were discovered: serving up to 10 years in a Federal prison, & a fine of up to $500,000!
![Page 24: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
These could be the conse-quences if: 1) He were to admit to the lie he is living, or 2) This lie would be uncovered. He then, very soberly, asks Kenny & I:
“What should I do?”

Further, the fear of his lie being exposed are compounded by the real fear of not being able to see his son, whom he has joint- custody with a wife whom he di-vorced because of her unfaith-fulness.
![Page 31: TOUGH DECISIONS. TOUGH DECISIONS This is a lesson that helps to bring to our mind just how uncompromising the religion of Christianity is!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649e2b5503460f94b193ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A Federal prison term would sever the custody he now has. He begins to cry, & proclaims through all his tears,
“My son is all I have in this world!”

“Perhaps God is answering your prayers right now by showing you the right thing to do: give up this lie, &, if needs be, accept the con-sequences of your past actions. Be freed from the guilt of sin, & be truly baptized for your sins!”
