Hi....Do people still post here?
I am seeking a "like-minded" believer/friend. My church is "cold"... I hope that maybe we can "talk"... my kids (grown) are " lost"... and I have Jesus, but feel alone...are you looking as well? Are you, like me, wondering if there are others who have " not taken something that ' they ' are demanding"... and look around and see how our society is being deceived? Are you in love with Jesus.... and long to be with Him? Do you feel like a " misfit" in this world? Are you looking up? If so, I would like to chat.
God bless,
Kari
Kari,
I live in Illinois and I attend an online church now. The church I was attending didn't address the times we are in, the pastor even commented on how he was receiving a lot of phone calls from members asking if we are living in the last days. His response was basically, that people always think they are living in the last days and we should just focus on what we are doing each day. I had joined a women's group and everyone was getting a certain something because they wanted to be able to travel, when I asked anyone about it they all said they had prayed on it and felt the Lord told them it was fine. I just didn't feel like I fit in there anymore. The church I'm now an online member of is Calvary Chapel Kaneohe, the pastor is JD Farag. He's all about addressing the issues that we as believers are facing right now, which helps when your like me and don't have anyone to talk to about these things.
I also have two grown sons who have been taken in by this world. I keep praying for them, and John 14:14 says "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." I believe that as long as we are asking something that is in the Father's will, He will do it. 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." I really believe that He will answer our prayers for our children before it is too late.
Are you going to keep attending your church? How are the restrictions in Washington, from the news it seems like it was one of the stricter states.
Have a great night,
Em
