It is indeed wonderful reading your encouraging words. Having placed all of my concerns, frustrations (because he does not see things the way i expect him to see things and feeling inferior about not being able to carry accross my view by quoting scripture) and judging at Jesus' feet, and having left it there, has indeed freed me. You and the other people are wonderful! Thank you! Harry |

Thank you Darcy! I have felt a warm sense of release since last night. Your response from the Word of God makes my heart go fluttery with praise for God's greatness. And when people like you take time to impress His greatness in others in order to alleviate another's "suffering", Life takes on a bright shining aura! Thank you! God bless you! Kindest possible regards Harry |

I appreciate your response. I am a Christian and saved by the Grace of God, for which I am immeasurably thankful. I appreciate that I judged him, as he was me, for worshipping on Sunday, having taken the sign of the beast by doing that. Is it not incredible that doctrines, views, opinions etc. abound amongst ALL of us who call ourselves Christians? I've been reading through of the stuff on this site and am deeply aware and concerned that, according to views out there, being saved by the Grace of God does not seem to be all that will get one to heaven. How is that possible to preach damnation and the Grace of God in one go? If repentance TRULY comes from the heart, and not me simply "adding" Christ onto my life because it seems to be working for my rich friend, why do people still WORK at being saved? This person said the following: "God does not want quantity, but quality. It is not for me to say God will not save someone by Grace, but that would mean the person has to uphold the Law" (referring to the Ten Commandments) God saving a person repenting on death row does not gel nicely with him, but he grudgingly says that it is not up to him. It would seem that, according to him, once I accept Jesus into my life, I HAVE TO UPHOLD THE LAW to be saved. Strange is it not? But, again, I thank you for admonishing me as far as judging is concerned. I want to so much keep telling him that Grace is sufficient! God bless! Stay in His love! Kindest possible regards Harry |

Thanks everybody! It would seem as though I have such clear answers to give him. He, however, does seem to be bent on having family or the churc look after her. When asked, he simply smiles and answers that God will provide. I have reached the point where I simply feel that I'll not change his perception. It's like calling a green thing pink. I am convinced that it is green; he that it is pink. I did as he requested and drew up a letter for him to sign as far as the cancellation is concerned. Maybe I should add that it is his belief that Christ will come again before he dies. He is 38 years old. That may account for his need for retirement provision or disability cover, believing he will not die, however, and I confronted him with this. He accepted that being run over by a drunken driver will not be God's will for him but life, yet still persists in his ways. A co-server in his church also said that he should cancel his life assurance. I found out, when I asked him whether this guy has any assurance at all, that the guy had lost all his assurance due to bankruptcy. Do I sound annoyed? Frustrated at the situation is more like it. Thanks again for the response. I fear that the situation is troubling me more than it is troubling him. He is, as mentioned, just toooooo vlever for me when it comes to quoting scripture and his interpretation (with the aid of writings his church uses)thereof. Please pray that Christ my remove this burden from me. Kindest possible regards Yours in Christ Harry |

Hi everyone! My name is Harry Fröhlich. I live in a beautiful little town called Bethlehem in the eastern Free State highlands of South Africa. I tried a search on my query but found no answer. I am a Life Assurance broker, and my question concerns advice given to client of mine. Allow me to provide a bit of background. He had (some he still has) the following provisions in his assurance portfolio: A few million Rands worth of Life cover, an Income Protection Plan that will pay out a substantial monthly income upon him not being able to work (either temporarily (there is a seven day waiting period) or permanently) and a substantial policy for retirement. He requested me to cancel the life policy, because he believes that God will look after his widowed wife. I told him that I do not at all believe in his view, and told him that he effectively only trusts God to look after his wife upon his death, but, by not cancelling ALL his assurance (the Disability Income Protection Plan and the Retirement provision), he actually declares that his trust in God when his own welfare is concerned, is not too good. He said that he'd find something in scripture, but has not come back to me yet. I get frustrated because I am convinced that he is wrong about it all, but I am not as liberal in quoting scripture as he is. Does the Bible deal with these issues at all or is it a view expressed in certain writings of the church he belongs to? (I do not know whether I may name the church) Why do I feel that he is putting God to the test? Your answers will be GREATLY appreciated! Kindest possible regards Harry |
