I am having a big crisis now. I know I'll probably have to leave my church, and I am fearful of telling them about my new "ideas". I have also started telling family members. My mother and older sister seem OK with it, but my younger sister seems worried and I haven't told my younger brother yet, I kinda know what his responses will be. Anyway, I am having a lot of anxiety, some of it has to do with me flying tomorrow to Denver. :-[
Thanks in advance for your prayers.

Read Ray's article about Witnessing to people. You don't have to. Relax and when you know more yourself then if the Lord leads so be it.(didn't Paul study for about 14 years before he took the gospel to the gentiles) Don't cause strife in your family if you don't need to.
I am sorry Joe, don't want to be bossy :D Just my opinion from the been there done it and wish I wouldn't of.

You have got my prayers Joe!

Hi Joe,
When I first started learning all these things at BT, I was anxious about having to give an answer. But you know here it is 2 yrs later and I have rarely been ask about what I believe. Family members seemed to be happy with what they believe (Southren Baptist) and not interested in hearing what I've come to understand and I don't try to push it on them at all. So you may be worring for no reason.
Fear of flying is a whole other thing.
I will be praying that all goes well :)
mercy, peace and love

Hi JavaJoe,
Strangely, I've only seen this post now, today. How are you doing now? I pray peace for you as you requested. I know what you mean about worrying, I'm a good one at that, but amazingly, God is giving me blessed peace in my life and circumstances. Knowing He contols every aspect in our life and being goes a long way in just....ahhhhh....resting! :) :) :)

Brother Joe,
All will be well with your family. If they reject the truth now, it's ok. But as others have stated you don't Haveto do anything. I did the same thing. When I first started learning the truths I nearly attacked a christian co-worker with them. I know now my zeal was not in the right place. If the spirit moves you, then speak. If not, soak it up, brother! He wants you to sit on what you know, and move you to know more. I have learned the revelations of the truths of God are literally endless. It's beautiful. Peace be with you on your flight. I've never flown, but I know I'd probably be nervous too.
God Bless

Gena, keep giving kisses on the cheek of someone you love... or even someone you don't love :D.... kinda out loud... let your lips make the sound.... not lips pursed up and closed tight like a smooch, but lips making action.... first the lips close and purse up a little bit... mmmmuuuu... then the lips part and open up for the second half of the kiss.... aaaahhhh. Mmmuuaahhh! Took me awhile too... is it because we're from Michigan, dunno? (http://bestsmileys.com/wink/3.gif) :P BTW... LOVE your bundles of JOY!

Thanks Brandon. I have not been on the forum much lately, work has been very stressful. "All will be well with your family" rings so true with me since I have been learning more and more about God's purpose for mankind. I don't see my wife as lost anymore, but someone whom "God is drawing unto Himself for reconciliation", that puts her on the same level as myself, so we are truly one, even though she may not know it yet.
ciao, and His Blessings to you and yours!
