Bible Question:
new creation ...thank you for the info. on where to find help. There is much more to this story ... like you said ... more info keeps showing up ... I also was denied a position as music director at my home church two weeks after I lost my job. The review commitee said they need someone more stable and better suited for the job. I am still devistated. I have known many troubles, as often Christians do, but this time I feel anger. I have waited in hope many years for the chance to serve my lord in praise. And now the rejection has got me befuddled, and drifting. There is some merit to the excuse they gave for terminating me, but I know otherwise. My Christian beliefs tell me to forgive and go on, but I can't seem to go anywhere. A friend pointed out to me that this man (the manager) broke the law. Why should an enemy of God go unpunished by man? |
Bible Answer: Dear joelk; Whenever you feel rejected, unwanted and as an outcast remember that Jesus Himself was also rejected and despised. Luke 17:25 But first must he (Jesus) suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Peace be to you New Creature |
