Pera,
I am glad that HE used me to help you. This is a hard life and being a man and spiritual covering over a wife and children must be one (if not) the most responsible jobs that a human has... in my opinion. I respect you guys for having that job...obviously you men are right for the job and women aren't!!! I do not envy your role! MEN will have to answer in judgement for how well you lead your family; we women will have to answer for how well we submitted to and supported our husband and children. (One always knows when they are not in their God given role b/c ...NOTHING WORKS OUR SMOOTHLY as it does when the role is lead by the proper gender.)
I will pray for your family as well. Being in our proper roles makes for an easier and happier marriage. Would your wife be willing to get on the forum? We would love that! I love it when couples are equally yoked and can share this info. Just try to show her LOVE in what ever you choose to do; otherwise, she will not see God and all will be done in vain.
God bless you too Pera. :D
mari_et_pere:
Wow. There's lots of new replies so I'll just reply to all of you. Thanks by the way to all of you who responded in love and kindness.
I have to set the record straight though:
First, I can't stress enough that I'm not going for my wife. Yes I've gone on a few "special" occassions as a favor, for Christmas and Easter and stuff, but not routinely.
Second, if any of you think I'm going to be deceived, you're way off. It's been brought up in this thread. "The church" couldn't deceive me when I was a young child, how then will they now? Even as a kid I had God saying, "No that's not right. Don't listen to that." If you can't April Fool a kid, you won't get the adult. God is on my side.
Third, and this one's big. None of you mentioned this unless I overlooked it which is possible because I've been working 12 hours at my job lately and I'm tired. But if I end up going, or not going, it's because God is in control!!!! If God wills it, I'll be there. If He doesn't will it, I won't be there. It's that simple! That's one of the basic teachings here at Bible-truths! If God isn't pushing for it, it's not going to happen, no matter what it is. Correct? I know it's correct. I don't need to ask.
Fourth, I'm not going to attend "The Church". I am thinking about going to A Church. Not the church that hurt some of you, but a different one. I'm not defending them or attacking them, but only saying it's A Church, not The Church. They aren't as one. They're so divided it's not even fathomable anymore. You all know that. Two churches across the street from one another can have totally different doctrines.
I love you all for your concern, I really do. How awesome it is. Just to let you know we didn't end up going at all, which was cool with me! ;D We'll see what happens this weekend I guess. Whatever God has me do is what I'll do. It's all Him.
Matt
hebrewroots98:
matt, you correct...Whatever God wills will happen in the end. Bu, did I misssomething? What was your main reason for going to church in the first place if it wasn't for your wife/kids? (I'm not trying to argue here, just trying to understand...) :)blessings.
Dean Peterman:
Dear Matt,
I read your post. I can totally relate to what you are saying. I have a similar problem and I don't even know half of what you do. However, something I have learned recently is that your number one responsibility is to be faithful to God. Also, ask yourself this question. If they knew you thought they were in deception and in Babylon how would they feel. Would they want you there? Probably not.
It is Rodger who taught me this truth. Although he misunderstood me, the principle he was teaching is the same. It really hit home how wrong it would be for someone to do this. So you have to ask yourself whether or not your motives are pure and then let God guide you.
Amazing, I guess I do know something now. Thank you Rodger. This is something you taught me.
Sincerely,
Dean
