Where is all of this going?

Dean

It is very healthy that you express your fear of persecution, rejection, ridicule and all those things for which it is written

Heb 4 : 15 For we do NOT have a High Priest Who is UNABLE to understand and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in EVERY RESPECT AS WE ARE, yet without sinning.

For this we are DRAGGED against our better judgment, choice, preference or will, into the marvelous light of liberation into the mind, heart and life of Christ! :D 8)

Peace be to you

Dear Dean, i understand your reservations, but ultimately,......does it matter where you are going.... as long as you are in Christ and HE is in you?  Can you trust HIM to lead you in your blindness right now?  Just know that HE will eventually show you things that you  cannot handle right now.  Your eyes are opening daily, little by little...just be patient my friend. ;)

Good post Dean.  It's not easy to "go against the grain" so to speak.  It's hard when it's with friends who still go to church and believe what we used to believe.  I have spoken to a few about it, including the pastor, but we "agree to disagree", and I no longer bring it up, and they don't bombard me with their side.  If the door is opened however, and an opportunity comes up....that's a different matter. 

I have been guilty of being hard on the church people, and catch myself being impatient with their attitudes.  All I have to do is look at how deceived I was....(I followed anyone who sounded good.  I'm suprised I didn't end up a Hare Krishna or something!)  Then I find my patience restored.  But it takes work for me anyway....

I have to remind myself everyday to relax....God has a plan, and it's taking shape.  I get myself worked up sometimes....I kind of hear that in your post.  So I feel for you....sometimes it takes letting go, and letting God be sovereign. 
And if that doesn't work....do what I do....tell yourself, "It's all going to be ok!"   ;)  That's almost become my mantra lately! :D
