Scripture References Found – 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Thessalonians 5, 2 John 1, Matthew 7, Psalm 23
Note – excuse my disheveled appearance? I was distracted running late and had just come in from walking Dakota. During the week of facing Facebook Bible-Babble-Land’s Church Militant’s Hungry Pagan Lions and Merciless Gladiators, the truth finally came out of the ordained by SDA Land Pastor’s mouth, of the church that the Lord had led me to to seek refuge, spiritual guidance, and hopefully a hand up. It was the same church where my parents were married in November of 1961, and where I was dedicated to the Lord as a baby, around a year after my birth.
On a public social media platform, the Pastor of this church at the time I was a homeless widow in distress, had informed me the previous week, that, after I told them that I had one year in which to get the heck out of Madison TN, before a man whom my testimony had jailed for a year would be getting out of jail. The Church Board had had a secret meeting to determine that I needed no kindness, nor justice, nor charity, nor knowledge of God, for I was nothing more than a drug addict. That deserved nothing less than death? It took awhile to get over that one?! I mean, I get it. It is very typical, and expected. But, it still was a hard pill to swallow. Because the people who knew better, said nothing in my defense? And, only the Lord pulled me out of the arena. I was a spiritually beaten and bloody mess!
To date 03/19/2024, only one person has apologized and only one person has accepted my apology for the way in which I rejected their theologies. And that’s out of 197 Facebook friends, and countless SDA Land Church members from around the world. Or, in the words of Ellen White. “Not one in twenty.”
Face It And Taste It! …. Keep it going.
The Spirit within, determines our destination.
