While the situation was unfortunate, it seems as if the Lord is gradually bringing around His churches to be more as Christ and His disciples taught. All too often man has imposed upon them all kinds of sets of beliefs and rituals and demands, not always in accord with His will.

There appears to be a strong winnowing of the fields, doesn't it, separating the wheat from the chaff?
You are fortunate the Lord has clearly brought you and your family into a position where you can be more useful, and I rejoice for you, Rus!
As you know, the entire focus must be upon Him, if we as individuals, or as a church group, are to be effective.

Prayers continue for your injured friend and his family....

There appears to be a strong winnowing of the fields, doesn't it, separating the wheat from the chaff?

Yes there is and it is getting stronger everyday. All we have to do is look around us and watch and see.

Revelation 3: 19 -22
As many as I Love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come unto him, and sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my father in his throne.
He who hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

May the Lord Bless the reading of His Word..
