Dear pricefhome, Greetings in Jesus' name! As Charley Brown would say, "Arrghhhh!" The Bible does not contain 'start up church,' specialized 'founding pastors' whose qualities do not include marital counseling, 'large churches' with 10,000 that feed you but don't shepherd you, or 'smaller churches' for kids but no meat! Forgive me, my friend, but where is the Holy Spirit in any of that?!?!? NOWHERE! What you need is a good, old-fashioned G.P. (general practice) church with a God-called, faithful, humble minister of the Gospel with the heart of a shepherd. Forget all these specialized, 'niche' churches with their 'xx-point programs to Jesus' and 4 carbon-copy services. These may serve John and Jane Doe with baby Judy as long as they have no problems and don't make waves, but apparently they are not serving YOU, right? Friend, you may have to go on a 'meatless' diet for the sake of your life. Forgo the intellectual satisfaction or 'programmed security' that satisfies your soul (or flesh?), and get Christ into your Christian life. Your situation is dire, and calls for some drastic measures, like finding a basic church that will cater to your basic needs. To me, a church is a place where the pastor and his eldership are there anytime, 24/7. They may not have the sheepskins, but they do know how to rely upon the Holy Spirit to help every situation in their church, effectively, to the spiritual health and well-being of every sheep in the flock. I think you need much more than, "I'll pray for you." And if you want to know how I really feel, contact me via hotmail. I'm sorry if I sound incensed, but I am! "Theoretical Christianity" plays the odds, but often does not match with real life. Only the real-time, practical application of Biblical priciple under the guidance of the Holy Spirit will solve the kind of problems you face. May the Spirit guide you to a conviction of what must be done, and give you the strength and perseverance to do it. In Christ Jesus, charis |

I agree with the previous posting!! I understand your situation more now that I have read your previous positngs of your problem. He is right, you do need to humble yourself before the Lord, seek him ernestly, pour your heart our and tell him how you do not want to grieve him, but do his will. Remember, God does know the true intentions of our heart, more than we ever will. He does work out all things for the good of ourselves and others. Also during this time you may need to seek out and ask Gos what is he trying to teach you at this point in time of our life. Many times, often times it is when we are in deep tribulation that God not only want's to change our lives, but to teach us many valuable life changing lessons. I know, been there, done that...Don't have the tee-shirt yet. Still there!! When you feel very burdened, lay it upon him, rest in him as he does promise us that the weary and the weak shall find rest and peace in me, not as the world gives, but only as he can give. Maybe he wants you to learn to trust him more, to lay these cares completely at his feet..and leave them there, trust me he know how you are hurting and he will resolve this for you. Keep the faith, my best advise is to cling ever so close to him, for he is your comlete comfort and guide. Reemember he will never leave you nor forsake you.....In Jesus Love, |
