Problematic on many levels . . .
"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
FAMILY STRENGTH = unity
Core value #1
- Unity of beliefs and practice - we have tried over the years to be in church on Sunday, so when the 10 o clock invitation came on Friday I immediately saw it as an 'affront' and I SAID to mom we can't go.
- Mom went to EBC with Jo and Daleanne, perhaps in her mind she had planned to go to the "brunch"; if so I WAS NOT TOLD.
- I went to the Salvation Army because the officers asked me to help with Sunday church. Seeing they are a much smaller group than Emmanuel and need our help more we've been helping.
- I was called during service towards the end by mom and Steve, I texted my response that I was in church and asked Steve to get mom
- I see it as my duty to help as much as possible to "preserve" the beliefs we were taught and hold : "I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints . . . - JUDE
- When I was told Terry, Steve and Mitzie were all there My first thought was WHERE IS CATHERINE? So I texted her:
- I'm now Conflicted - big time ! : FAMILY BRUNCH? at church time? At a bar/restaurant? At $15 per head? Did we pay our tithe? Did we all even go to church? . . . so yah I'm "a little miffed" - I HOPE I CAN UNDERSTAND
Sorry I yelled . . . a little lol
"seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
