THE NARROW ROAD
(a biography of Lois Delnay) 2003
Born-again in 1961
Married 57 years and residents of Fallbrook, California since 1969
In a desperate need to find answers to life, I began to read the
New Testament scriptures. After a week long struggle trying to
understand it, God the Holy Spirit convicted me of the reality that
Jesus Christ died on the cross as my substitute, and I believed in
Him. Since that moment in time, God's Word has become uppermost in my
thoughts.
Because the Lord wants a new 'babe in Christ' to mature, He
faithfully provides help by directing the new believer to a
pastor/teacher/ for edification and spiritual growth through sound
Bible teaching. (see 1 Peter 2:2) & Romans 10:17)
During our first few years as Christians, the teaching of Dr. J.
Vernon McGee furnished an excellent foundation on which we were able
to grow in grace and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then in
1964 we were introduced to the academic teaching of Bible Doctrine by
Col. R. B. Thieme, Jr. of Houston, Texas. Since the year 2000, our
pastor-teacher has been Robert McLaughlin of Grace Bible Church in
Somerset, MA. Both these men teach from the original languages of
scripture and are dogmatic in the presentation of God's Word. They
teach historical facts corresponding to the time in which the Biblical
events took place, as well as exegetically and categorically rather
than giving a mere application of God's Word.
In 1 Corinthians 2:18, the apostle Paul tells us that Bible Doctrine
is the very thinking of Christ, so we cannot truly love Him unless we
know how He thinks about every situation in life.
In the spring of 1998, the Lord motivated me to write some Bible
tracts for young people, and our friend Wesley Miller put them on the
Internet. Many of those tracts present the Gospel message of salvation
which is FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE so that young people can exercise
their own free will to believe in Jesus Christ and have eternal life.
A series of 33 Bible studies followed in order to help young believers
in their spiritual growth.
After the tracts and Bible studies, several colorful, illustrated
stories featuring Biblical characters like Jonah and Esther, were
added to the website along with 5 dramas on Bible Playhouse. All of
these materials have been written and put on the Internet in order to
stimulate interest in God's Word, but, most of all, to glorify the
Lord Jesus Christ.
We are confident in his truth; "THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND
POWERFUL, SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE
DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT AND OF THE JOINTS AND MORROW, AND
IS A CRITIC OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. (Hebrews 4:12)
