.... to him that Oberst was not the murderer. When Gillespie arrested Sam Wood Virgil also proved him innocent.

.... the spiritual realities that God teaches. God permits suffering in the life of the believer in order to strengthen his faith. It is precisely when the hedges are moved from around us that we find ourselves depending upon God. The more we are deprived of the temporal supports for our earthly happiness, the more we are driven to the Lord for our comfort. This is why Job was chosen, because of his completely underserved suffering, and his steadfastness in faith and submission to God, Job received the honor of becoming the chief figure in the bible(Psalms 23, He .....
