You are right Beloved, as I have always known that HE DOES want us to be in the world and just not of the world; sometimes I just forgot to use the spiritual application/discernment. I agree and have always had a heart for the lost sheep of the world (including the HS group), b/c i remember what it felt like to be a lost sheep...it was very scary! Ever since the first time that I ever read and heard Matt 28 about going out into all the world and preaching the gospel, I have always wanted to help others to see Gods truths.
As far as the HS group, well, DH and I finally decided to stay away from them for this next year and to just HS without them (but with other HSers) since it would not be a good learning environment any longer for our son to be around. Thank you Lord, the problem is solved! We will see these people occasionally, and we will be nice, but, we no longer can trust them to have the best interest in mind for assisting and sharing in our child's education. (Especially after a couple had told their 2 kids to hit my child as hard as they could if they didn't want my child to mess (play) with them...and one of them did do just that to Daniel last year when Daniel was just being a typical boy and was not being hateful to them; whereas my child could have retaliated and used his Karate' on the kid who hurt him, but he loved his enemy and forgave. We don't need to be around adults who are teaching their kids to be violent instead of using their words to communicate and who teach their kids to hate their enemies.) At least God has answered our prayers and we are still resolved to HS Daniel, just not anymore with this clique of hs families who don't care for us, but pretend that they do when we are around them.
I was not worried about the rejection from the Hsers, but I was wrong to worry about Daniel not having their HS support in a HS environment any longer...(Lord forgive me for not trusting in your providence more in this area.)
I can relate Beloved...I try to not debate or argue the scriptures with anyone. If they are erring when speaking of scriptures, I will correct them; if they ask a question and I think they are sincerely wanting to know the truth then I will tell them; if they aren't really wanting to know the truth and they just do want to hear, then I will not give them them any precious truths. I am not saying that I don't get hornswaggled into speaking truths sometimes by people who just want the head knowledge or to test me in what I know, b/c I do get snookered at times by them. And when I am rejected, I think about how the Lord has not opened their ears and how God will credit me for being persecuted and how He will hold them accountable at the White Throne Judgement: that is all that I can do. But, you have a great attitude for not taking it personally Beloved when the churches kick you out! I do not go to a church anymore...but, if He ever leads me back to one and they kick me out, well, then I will just rejoice, knowing that I did the right thing by standing up for the truth. (DH did this in our last congregation and all of the men still hate him for telling the truth, even though theyknow that he is right.
....thank you all for your prayers to help me to get discernment...it worked
