Dear Judie & Dwight,

    Thank you for both for sharing how you are going through similar circumstances. It helps to know we are not alone.  I am so grateful for this forum! I know that my husband doesn't understand but fellowship online with like minded believer is my church.

Dwight you are so wise to be gentle and not preach at your wife. I am not so smart sometimes. I say more than I should and it just leads to contention.

Judie you wrote:" if it does not bother him that you feel called out of the church, then don't worry if he is lagging in understanding". Well we have come to a compromise. My husband wants to attend church at least one Sunday a month, the rest of the month we do home study. The problem is that people look at you like you are a backslidder- so fellowship is hindered. The pastor preached today that it was wrong to not be committed to the church and go every week. That if you miss you need to get the tape. He preached like if you didn't go to church you weren't pursuing God! It offended me but not my husband he says he is like a duck he lets it slide off his back.

My husband wants to go to church for the praise and worship and to be under authority. Also he wants to have somewhere to go if we need prayer. He says he feels transported to the heaven in worship. I asked if he can experience that on his own in praise and worship and he says "no". So while we don't agree I want to respect his wishes and his authority as the spiritual leader of our home.

Blessings to you, Paula

Paula,

  Lots of prayer.  Make sure you do not over state what is on Ray's site.  He knows what is on here.  He will have to come around when it is God's Will.  What we need to remember is that all things happen in their own time.  Just pray and talk to God about this.  When he asks a question, only answer that question and do not elaborate on it.  I just see him asking questions in the future and then it will be time for you to get a foot in the proverbial door to speak.

  Patience.  I will pray for you and your husband.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire
