I just don't get it. I don't understand when it became a good idea to:
- Say that my wife being paralyzed over most of the left side of her body isn't a big deal and that God's going to arbitrarily snap his magic fingers and make everything perfect overnight.
- Claim to be our home church, but be completely non-responsive to our need.
- Attempt to use this surgery and paralysis as leverage to get us into a new church when my wife can barely move.
- Crow about being a Christian hospital and then blackmail, abuse, and harass my wife as a patient.
So, if you are a pastor who cares more about your hobbies or your offering plate than people, may your followers vanish and your "ministry" fail. If you are a holy-rolling Job's friend type who dismisses everyone's pain and suffering as trivial because your life's been easy, please do the world a favor and poke yourself in the eye with something pointy. Oh, and if your first thought is to comment and tell me how everyone and everything is so great and/or everything's going to work out just peachy and/or that its all for my good and God's glory, just don't. I really can't stand any more bull.
The smartest person in the world can spend their whole life trying to discover reason, why, and wherefore, yet they never will. Regardless of what circumstances come a person's way, only one thing matters-Obedience (obedience is better than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of rams). Submission to God's will, controlling yourself to the point of death (pick up your cross daily).
ReplyDeleteA person can use their experiences to justify anything, including: beat their wife, cheat, murder, or simply to blaspheme God or to justify their disbelief in God. Don't concern yourself with other's dude. All that should concern you is if you are either going to serve God no matter what to the point of death because you have integrity (something God called being a man, and told Job to stand up and do), or are you going to be a bitch and pussy out like everyone else would/does just because you've decided that the shit you are going through is too much. (do all things without complaining) People are bastards and christians have never served god, nor do they know anything about God. Unfortunately God said love em anyway oh and something about forgiveness too. I know he's pretty demanding...TOUGH! Check your attitude. Be a man and don't worry about anything else. The reality is you are going to suffer. In summation...when the world (btw christians are apart of the world though they like raise to pretend they are not the scripture that suggests i'm wrong is grossly misinterpreted) fucks you in the ass, bend over and take it like a man, because no matter what, the world is going to fuck you in the ass. I love you man, I'm sorry you both have to go through this, and I am praying for you both.
I grieved when I read what you wrote. Yes, there are SOOOOO many well meaning Christians who need to pull their heads out of their rectums. All I can say to you and heather is "not that things will be peachy and keen, but to just keep your eyes on the Lord. Romans 8 does say that all things work for the good, but I agree that it can sure be hard at times. I am just going to be supportive in prayer, and to say not to let this embitter you. My father once told me there are more horses a__es in the the world than there are horses and I agree. There are way too many christians out there who aren't grounded and have no true understanding. Love them anyway! I'll be keeping you both in regular prayer!
