Hello from Missouri!!

[brommd]

Hiya Pilgrim Baptist folks hope this finds you all well!

My name is Steve and me my wife and our 2 daughters live in Missouri. I come here as an invitation from Preacher Ben. We just recently left a Christian Non Denominational church for an IFB church.

In leaving the Non Denom church my wife and I started learning alot about what God really expects of us versus what the world says. We home school our 2 daughters and my wife occasionally covers (not fully or full time just yet) and wears dresses occasionally. She has really come under conviction but struggles badly (she is afraid of making a "scene" and we live in the town she grew up in).

But, nevertheless I really get a kick out of the way Preacher Ben and Darlene valiantly hold fast to God and his precepts and those of Jesus.

I myself want desperately the same. I would like to recall biblical manhood and lead my family to Heavens shores.

I can see myself learning alot from Preacher Ben and the members here! Thanks for having us.

Take Care and may God richly bless you all as you long to serve Him

:)Praise God friend for convictions on belief AND practice! You are a rare bird these days. May the Lord bless you in your walk.

Welcome, Bro. Steve! How exciting, how the Lord is working in your family. God bless each of you.
On behalf of your wife, it's not an easy thing to change life-long habits, especially those that deal with her personal appearance. Just pray for her, gently answer her rebuffs, and be patient. I've been where she is!

Hello,

At our church all the female members are to dress in dresses or skirt/tops, but I do recall when I first got saved it was at a different church and then as I read the Bible and learned from other women how God dealt with me... I understand how your wife doesn't want to make a scene...Women can be very unkind. I recently just started covering so perhaps my brief testimony of church service will help her... I started covering for prayer, but we pray alot at church and it was getting difficult to put it on and off at a moments notice...after reading some testimonies from other women on the board I decided to cover throughout church...the pastor made some comment, but he did not realize I was doing it for a purpose (he thought I was trying someting new like a hairstyle) I told him it was a covering and he was very kind about it.
