Time To Leave Church?

I have been attending the same church for nearly 30 years and with the loss if my beloved wife I think I owe it to myself to take a hard look at my life. That includes which church I attend and if me being there is where God wants me to be at this time? It is a question that my late wife and a I talked about often. As of this moment my heart is telling me it’s time to move on because the church just is not meeting my spiritual or supportive needs.

However, everything is still clouded by my mourning of my wife which was less than 4 months ago. Scripture tells us to wait on the Lord I just wish he would hurry up and tell me what his plans are for my life.

Want To Talk About Jesus I’m Your Man!

On April 3rd of 2025 the love of my life went to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Being married to this remarkable woman was the honor of my life.

However, the thing that brings me internal peace and joy is talking about Jesus Christ. It’s something I have known since childhood and my late wife knew it and was supportive of it. At first she was like “oh no!” but she quickly came around. With her passing and all the uncertainty that it has brought one thing that has not changed is my love of Jesus Christ Just the other day I was speaking with another remarkable woman and when I mentioned Jesus some special happened. Jesus came up in regards to how I handled my wife’s last few hours. We were alone , in our den with those traditional hymns she grew up on and at about 6:30 it got real quiet. I picked up her arm and it just fell back to the bed and at that moment I knew her pain and suffering was over and she was with The Lord Jesus Christ. So if you want to talk about Jesus bring it on because I am your man!

Did God Put Something On Your Heart?

There are times in our lives as believers when we feel that God has put something in our hearts, but we fail to act on those feelings.

This begs the question: Why do we fail to act? Of course, the easy answer is to blame Satan, but I suspect that there may be more to it than just that. I think there are societal pressures that people fall prey to, especially when it comes to the opposite sex, when they are married. Sometimes, it could be that there may be a large age difference, and the younger person may feel they could not do anything to help. In most cases, I suspect they would be wrong in that assumption.

As I said to someone some time back ( who is married) that if something is put on her heart in regards to me, then follow your heart. She has, and I cannot express how grateful I am for how she has helped me get through the most difficult time of my life so far.

So has God put something on your heart? Then act on it and God will be happy and Satan will be mad. That is exactly the way it is supposed to be anyway.

Besides, always remember that when your time comes to meet The Lord God Almighty, all of those folks who have shared all of their “wisdom ” about how you should do something will be no where to be found.

Something On Your Heart By God?

There are times in life when we all hesitate to reach out to others even though we know that God has put it on our hearts. This begs the question of why, and frankly, using Satan ( although his hand is never far away)as an excuse really does get old. I do think sometimes people are hesitant to reach out because of their marital or relationship status. If someone’s marriage is so insecure that outreach directed by God to them by a member of the opposite causes problems, then I would suggest they seek guidance from their Pastor.

However, you have to be on guard that Satan could use that honest desire by God for outreach which could lead to great damage. One of the biggest ways to fight that is to surround yourself around other Godly women.

Many years ago when my wife started having serious health issues a friend of mine talked to me about the kind of women I was being around. Of course back then my emotions were so raw that anything could have happened. Today that would be extremely unlikely.

Then comes a bigger question? When God puts this outreach on your heart are you going to do what God has guided you to do or not the choice is totally up to you.
