"...Hey Jeremiah,<BR/>Your following quote was excellent! "...people want to be accepted as they are, but will not accept God's word as it is."<BR/><BR/>When I first got out of school, had just gotten married, and was desperately needing a job, I tried out at a place in Ohio. At the dinner table surrounded by elders, deacons, and a few members and their wives, one of the members said, "I divorced my first wife without the cause of fornication, and am now happily married to the woman next to me. Do you think I am going to go to Hell?"<BR/><BR/>Well, I sure needed a job but I needed my integrity more. I simply quoted Matthew 19:9 to him and asked him what Jesus said about it. The silence was awkward to say the least. Looking back, I've always wondered if that was a "test" to see whether I would be true to God's word or sell out.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your writings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
