Remember to pray for those...

[benshelpmeet]

Dear brethren on this site , please remember to pray for those who come on this site and then either are made to leave, or leave because they do not agree with something said or believed here, and then there are those who their husbands do not believe in the covering and ask their wives to leave, and then for those who sign on and never become a part.

We need to pray for one another, say a prayer for God to bless them and guide their path. Maybe the Lord will lead them to another site that will be a blessing and helpful in their walk.

As for those who come on and stir up unnecessary conflict, and then are made to leave or leave of their own accord, we need to love these folks to, they are not our enemy, Satan is...Satan is the one who causes division, he just uses people. Most people are totally unaware that they are being used in a negative way. We need to lift these people up in prayer for the Lord to work in their life and to guide their path as well.

We want people to be blessed by God, this is a cold cruel world, with fast changing political times, we are headed for the return of Christ and we need to be forgiving, we do not have to accept bad behavior, but we do need to forgive and go forward holding no hard feelings, we would want the same done for us.

May the Lord bless, guide, and direct all those who come across our path here at Head covering Baptist/ Pilgrim Believers.

P.S. Please also remember Bro Ben and I as we seek the Lord daily for this site, it is hurtful to us when people come on stir up unnecessary conflict, and have to leave, and we miss the others for whatever reason they decide to move on.

Amen Sister Darlene, this is an excellent and much needed post. The people you have mentioned definitely need our prayers. I believe those who need it most are the ones who come in to stir up trouble. The administration of this site as well as the vast majority of the participants do their very best to follow the teachings of God's Holy Word. Unfortunately there are many professing Christians in the world today who do not attempt the same.

When we say that the Bible is the sole authority for both faith and practice it is dealing with not only spiritual matters but also the conductance of life itself. Since I have been involved here there are some things I have changed about my life and the way I conduct it based on not only the content of the posts but being able to verify that content through the Bible. We recently had a Brother (and he is still a Brother) come here and attempt to get us to believe a whole lot of things with no scriptural references at all. That is not correct and as I have said numerous times before, I don't really care that much about what any man has to say, tell me what does Almighty God have to say. The Bible has something to say about everything.

The ones who sadden me the most are the Sisters you have mentioned that have been forced to leave by their husbands. It really hurts me when we have a sweet Sister who is lead by the Bible and then the husband in effect says he does not believe the Bible and forces her to leave. When such a thing happens I am quite torn. I know the Bible says that wives are to obey their husbands and there have been many discussions here on the subject. However when the husband goes against something in the Bible what is the woman to do? I believe she has an obligation to pay attention to God yet if this causes division in the marriage what is the answer? Does the wife obey the husband to the point of disobedience to God or do they continue to follow the Bible at the risk of causing a rift in the marriage? What an almost impossible situation this must be.

Again, thank you for reminding us of the need for prayer these folks have.

In Christ,
George
