A quote from the article that brought tears to my eyes...
The next Sunday, Ann returned to church. Having limped out the door the previous Sunday, she returned with a spring in her step that said, “These are my people, and I want their God to be my God, too.”
Thanks, Lynn.

WOW!
Praise God for hearers of his word.
my reply was really not about the article in the original post.
My point was to 7777pinacled, who several times refered that if there was no drug dealers,
there would be no users. My stance is, if there was [no users] , dealers would be out of business.

Your life sounds similar to hubby's first marriage -- a child that wasn't his became the reason he married his first wife, and that daughter considers him her dad. Also not a happily ever after for the daughter or the marriage. (Still not for the daughter, but getting better ever so slowly.)
Some times I wonder if having a tough life is God's way of preparing us to look forward to next life. One thing for sure. I'm definitely not as committed to staying alive as I used to be. lol Not in a reckless way. More like something my great uncle said to his little sister once. He was 93 and had just lost his oldest son to... well basically to old age. And Gram was 91. He asked her, "What did we do so wrong that God hasn't called us home yet?"
Gram had no idea either, but she died two years later, and he died three years later.

Reminds me of a guy i know. He was a really bad heroin junkie. He would vandalize things, pee against Windows etc.
I was the only one who talked to him. Once a dude full on cocaine showed up at our fair and provoked him, i was able to calm him down after i kept telling him Jesus wins.
Well he decided he wanted to marry me and i declined a few times. But always kept building him up.
So the next time he got into therapy was the last.
He has been clean for over 2 years, got his son again and is looking for a job

And what Ruth said was my marriage vow to John.
Ruth 1: 16-17
[FONT="] “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”[/FONT]
That's great that they went home. I remember at my 50th birthday my uncle Don told me he did not think I was going to live that long, I told him neither did I. Sorry to hear about your hubby's daughter, mine are doing okay and my oldest just got a job with Kaiser Permanente which is a healthcare company here is So.Cal. So now my sisters, daughters, nieces, nephew and a few cousins work there.
I just found out that the Church I go to supports a Church in Turkey and I feel like starting to exercise so I don't need my canes to walk and hopefully I can go over there for a month or two to do some evangelism, so please pray for my, if God is guiding that He would provide as will as guide.
So you are for [no new believers] coming to this christian chat site, that's on the internet?
What if someone is laid up and can not go anywhere? Why on Sunday?
I read in the N.T. the Sabbath was when they went to hear the bible read.
-
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words
might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

Also not sure what you where trying to say to me in your post 68 reply?

I said the internet,
just as a poster here was recently misled, by an internet article leading her to nearly curse God without her knowledge.
A new believer needs to first read and study.
And if possible, yes, seek an elder or anyone who is Faithful to study with.
Discipleship will come after the Healing of the soul and body.
2 Timothy 2 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
2 So then, you, my son, be empowered by the grace that comes from the Messiah Yeshua. 2 And the things you heard from me, which were supported by many witnesses, these things commit to faithful people, such as will be competent to teach others also. 3 Accept your share in suffering disgrace as a good soldier of the Messiah Yeshua. 4 No soldier on duty gets involved with civilian affairs, since he has to please his commanding officer. 5 Also an athlete can’t win a contest unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The farmer who has done the hard work should be the first to receive a share of the harvest. 7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will enable you to understand everything.
8 Remember Yeshua the Messiah, who was raised from the dead, who was a descendant of David. This is the Good News I proclaim, 9 and for which I am suffering to the point of being bound in chains — but the Word of God is not bound in chains! 10 Why do I persevere through it all? For the sake of those who have been chosen, so that they too may obtain the deliverance that comes through the Messiah Yeshua, with eternal glory. 11 Here is a statement you can trust:
If we have died with him,
we will also live with him.
12 If we persevere,
we will also rule with him
If we disown him,
he will also disown us.
13 If we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
14 Keep reminding people of this, and charge them solemnly before the Lord not to engage in word-battles. They accomplish nothing useful and are a catastrophe for the hearers! 15 Do all you can to present yourself to God as someone worthy of his approval, as a worker with no need to be ashamed, because he deals straightforwardly with the Word of the Truth. 16 But keep away from godless babbling, for those who engage in it will only become more ungodly, 17 and their teaching will eat away at people like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are among these; 18 they have missed the mark, as far as the truth is concerned, by saying that our resurrection has already taken place; and they are overturning some people’s faith. 19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, stamped with these words:
“The Lord knows his own,”[a]
and,
“Let everyone who claims he belongs to the Lord
stand apart from wrongdoing.”[b]
20 In a large house there are dishes and pots not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. That is, some are meant for honorable use and some for dishonorable. 21 If a person keeps himself free of defilement by the latter, he will be a vessel set aside for honorable use by the master of the house and ready for every kind of good work.
22 So, flee the passions of youth;
and, walk along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart, pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love and peace.
23 But stay away from stupid and ignorant controversies — you know that they lead to fights, 24 and a slave of the Lord shouldn’t fight.
On the contrary, he should be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and not resentful when mistreated. 25 Also he should be gentle as he corrects his opponents. For God may perhaps grant them the opportunity to turn from their sins, acquire full knowledge of the truth, 26 come to their senses and escape the trap of the Adversary, after having been captured alive by him to do his will.

Imagine trying the read an article or story that is over 300 words. Now imagine that it was written in English but every E was written as a W, every V is written as an S, and all the rest of the letters stayed the same, (including the V and S's.) You could read it, right? You could almost make sense of it, right? But it would never ever make perfect sense to you, and by the time you were done trying to get the sense of it, you would have a headache, right?
Yeah. Honestly. That's what it's like to try and figure out anything 77's says.

Well ok, to get to cc forums, [Christian Chat Rooms & Forums @ Christian Chat .com!,
you do know you have to be [on the internet] to do that, right?

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these?
Law
Love God with all your heart.
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation.
Pretty sure this means never.
Prophets.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the rulers.
King of kings.
A royal priesthood will never take bribes nor curse the Lord.?
Remember how Abraham was approached and offered a bribe?
To ignore the royal law in this circumstance is to take the mark of the beast. From such turn away.
It is the false teachers peddling tolerance to those who are lacking in knowledge.
If some do not heed to the Word of the Most High, there is nothing I can do but warm others to avoid these criminal elements looking to offer blood money.
