But there are still family members offended by my actions and not concerned at the time with the facts... but I am told by others that these family members expect an apology from me.<br /><br />My husband and I have gone before church pastors, spiritual sisters, and public confession before church body... all led by the Spirit, but feeling that our sins were against Hod and each other that no more apologies are necessary. <br /><br />Also feel that if they are so offended that they should personally come to us with their grievance. We would hear them out.<br /><br />Input?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175311570309609565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504425930185898579.post-61098196401879169272020-09-26T19:14:30.909-05:002020-09-26T19:14:30.909-05:00If you are in need of healing and remember that yo...If you are in need of healing and remember that you committed adultery 30 years ago when you were separated from your ex husband.

You're welcome. I'm glad you ...Anonymous,<br /><br />You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful. It may be of some encouragement to you to know that the scourge of addiction has hit close to home, having two family members who have battled it. By the grace of God--and it truly is a miracle--they are gaining victory through Jesus Christ. May the Lord give you the grace to endure in love and prayer for your brother.<br /><br />DougDoug Enickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521382555614587285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504425930185898579.post-29884420748635733162020-05-02T08:55:02.257-05:002020-05-02T08:55:02.257-05:00Thank you for this message.
My brother for years ...Thank you for this message.<br /> My brother for years has been addicted to alcohol, drugs. He constantly, when not in jail, calls me at am hours cursing me out because I won't get up and listen to his rants that I can't understand. He says that is just our relationship. I disagree, I love my brother and want him to get sober. I have prayed for him, asked him why he does me that way. I have decided that it is nothing I have done, it is the evil that too much alcohol, drugs alows in when a person isn't sober. When he is sober, he is so fun to be around. But doesn't want to discuss his antics toward me. I have a sister and 2 other brothers that he does not do this to. <br /> I needed this message very much. Again, thank you. Please pray for my brother and me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504425930185898579.post-9357325695715697042019-09-14T07:52:15.675-05:002019-09-14T07:52:15.675-05:00I am going to have to disagree with this. Pride in...I am going to have to disagree with this. Pride in a man’s heart can leave him believing his is above offending others or his actions have no consequences. I have come to see many evil behaviors done in the name of Christ. Paul says, “if you have the faith to move a mountains but don’t have Love then I am nothing. I feel grievanes against oneself are opportunist to test your own character and heart.<br /><br />I believe Jesus is pushing his disciples to strongly examine their hearts. As to refer to your example, if an employee is continually late and your job is to let them go, and you do and they become hard hearted, I believe it is of great benefit to pursue the individual and communicate clearly the reasons for the decisions as well as, “listen to the employee.” The employee may be suffering great grievances that you are now able to minister in and teach, aide, and help. These grievances shouldn’t be something to avoid but seen as opportunities to act and minister and demonstrate the Love of Christ.<br /><br />I would hope, should the storms of life and should my own corrupt heart heart deceive me that it would not keep Godly people from reaching out to me and helping me through the challenges of life.<br /><br />I appreciate your time and wish you all the best. This is just my opinion and it is definitely up for interpretation and prayer. Thanks for allowing me to share my 2 cents.Brian Lindahlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504425930185898579.post-17724674464406854902013-07-01T15:35:25.279-05:002013-07-01T15:35:25.279-05:00That's a good word.
