The Official Russell Groff Story

I would like to post a paragraph from a book, I found in my Mother’s belongings after she passed away.

She loved Russell very much, and I want this to be a tribute to Russell in memory of her. I think Mom would like this to be written, as she loved the Lord and was very hurt that Russell had lost his life to this destructive lifestyle.

This quote is from the late D.L. Moody, from an 1898 book, The Gospel of Love, by David C. Cook.

“If I thought I could make the world believe that God is love, I would only take that text and go up and down the earth trying to counteract what Satan has been telling them. It would not take twenty-four hours to make the world come to God, if you could only make them believe that “God is love.” God’s dealing has been all love, love, love, from the fall of Adam to the present hour. Adam’s sin brought down God’s love. That voice, which rang out through Eden, was the voice of love hunting after the fallen one: “Adam, where art thou?” For all these thousands of years, that voice of love has been sounding down the ages.”

I would like to be able to convince people involved in the homosexual lifestyle, that this is not what God wants for your life. This is a sin God can forgive, it is a choice, no one is born gay. As in D. L. Moody’s quote, “I would do this if it were possible.” I never want to have another person die like my son did. God’s love and amazing grace is forgiveness.

God’s word is indisputable.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not parish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
