That is good news Beth! Yes God is working things out, and you dont even have to say a word to anyone! I saw these Scriptures today and you were the first person I though about.
1Pe 3:1-4 Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live, when they observe your pure, reverent lives. Your beauty should not consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothes; instead, it should consist of the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God's eyes.
I think this applies to anyone in God's family, because I used to think I HAD to teach and "spread the word". Not all are teachers, we all have something to offer, different body parts doing different things, all for His glory.
Anyway I hope this further encourages you as it has me. :)

We would do well to look after our own house, as Ray points out, Light and Salt do not make noise. Humility is the end game for this life of evil we are living, read Ecc:1:13. The entire chapter of Ecc:1 is also a great read for some perspective on what is different from before, or not.

I totally agree George, as I've had to learn this the hard way lately. Being given an experience of evil really does humble one.
Peace, G.Driggs.

"Institution" means something that is usually highly developed with laws and customs approved of by larger segments of a culture or society. Or any smaller such
institute which follows the teachings and practices of a larger institution.

Just wondering if American Civil Religion can be part of Christendom [?] since it;
''follow the pattern and customs of the larger well established Churches.''
These would make Christendom even bigger to my perception.

I just had these question adove...
Kat:
Hi Moises,
Yes of course, this term is actually the over view of religion/Babylon in America.
Americans embrace a common "civil religion" with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holidays, and rituals, parallel to, or independent of, their chosen religion.[2] This belief system has historically been used to attack nonconformist and liberal ideas and groups. (From Wikipedia)
mercy, peace and love

Hi Moises,
No need for any apology or explanation. It is always good to remember where one has been, wisdom, is knowing that it was wrong, and turning away from the bad past (that Wisdom comes From GOD). None of us took ourselves out from Babylon, The FATHER Dragged us out By HIS own Power. Since we are all bought with a Great Price (CHRIST Jesus), what can any of us boast about.
As our Master Has Already Said:
Joh 8:7 But as they continued to ask Him, He lifted Himself up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.
Joh 8:10 And bending back up, and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, Woman, where are the ones who accused you? Did not one give judgment against you?
Joh 8:11 And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I give judgment. Go, and sin no more.
