I began to start every day by sitting on the edge of my bed and saying, “today I put my faith and trust in God”
And that will now be something I do for every day of my life here in this earthly place. It’s been a great spiritual awakening for me. And I think for many others too, even within my immediate family. And that is one blessing in this whole mess.

This sharing brought tears of joy to my heart (and eyes), Truthseeker!!! Indeed...the believers of "The Way" were persecuted beyond our comprehension - and that is how WE know the Gospel--they went "underground" and migrated to the "western countries" away from Israel and the persecution by the Romans in charge at that time.
FLEE TO THE ROCK WHO IS HIGHER THAN OURSELVES, FRIENDS--THE "ROCK" CHRIST JESUS!!
Certainly not my cup of tea. People can be whatever they want but when they start shoving it down my throat and doing all the marketing and indoctrination nonsense is when I get angry. I will not accept it.
And it’s my understanding from our church counsel that the churches PAY to join/support this… so they’re really funding geopolitical ideology. We had to get rid of our organist because of budget cuts and money is being spent here instead. It is upsetting.
When the pandemic began…

I believe the pandemic created more people turning to God, something they didn't expect. The churches failed us, but people are working around that.
I share that sentiment.
The churches did fail us- In a multitude of ways.
My church became a ‘reconciling’ church during that time…

If I wrote a book on THIS topic… it still wouldn’t be enough. So.

I would be upset w/that. Crazy they are spending money on it, that they pay for it to join.
For me, it’s Ps.118:24 : ‘This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it’. Even when it’s difficult...
