“Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away” (Psalm 37:1-2 NIV).

God will not reject you, though Christians may.........


Nationwide there are many Christians today leaving Christian fellowships disappointed, confused, rejected, condemned, feeling devastated, and disqualified by God.

If this is your situation, one thing you need to know, whatever bad thing happened to you in the fellowship you attended was not God's fault.

God always plans and expects the best for you. He always expects the best of everyone. But people are only human and make mistakes. People are sometimes disobedient. Sometimes people are blind and deaf, thinking they are doing right when they are doing wrong.

The main thing is - don't get your concept of God hooked up with a human being. Human beings fail. But God will never fail you.

Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow." (John 10) Learn how to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd; learn to be His sheep, and judge whatever you hear from pulpits by the voice of Jesus, the voice of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you.

I John 4:1 says "Try the spirits to see whether they be from God."

Have compassion on all people. Don't judge and condemn. But become fruit inspectors. Jesus said, You will know them by their fruits. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit. Neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. (Matt. 7:15-18

What kind of fruit is being produced? Are people being help? Are people being saved? Are people being fed true spiritual food? Are they being strengthened? Are they maturing? Is there real Christian fellowship? Is light there? Is the life of God there?

Sometimes darkness descends where there used to be light. The lamp goes out. Then you have to decide. Will I stay in the dark? Or will I search for God's Light and what He is doing right now, not what He did 5 years ago?

Remember that Jesus is your Shepherd. He will lead you to fellowship. He will lead you to green pastures. Look to Him for direction. And if you are rejected by a fellowship or forcibly ejected, do what Jesus told the disciples to do, shake off the dust of your feet. (Matt. 10:14) Don't let rejection cling to you. And don't ever seek retaliation or retribution. God will take care of it in His time.






Proverbs 10:18
Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,
And whoever spreads slander is a fool.





"Am I the only one that thinks our leadership now replaces real love and time with a person in heartfelt conversation with dry, rules-laden politically correct reactiveness?
Yes, LH has been pulling this 'i'm wounded, nobody cares, it's my fault, please respond and show me I'm right' thing for a while. Yes, she has an issue feeling marginalized somehow.
So, leadership has to vote twice and nominate someone to contact her? We should all be heading for our private messaging systems and letting her know as individuals that we've valued her, still do, and want this to stop.
If you have a beaurocratic entity tell you something, versus an individual tell you something, which one engages your brotherly love the most.?"
