The Church is supposed to take care of its own; the Bible makes this crystal clear. No one is supposed to go through what you went through. God distinctly commands that we not let what happened to you happen. He placed His Spirit in us so that WE would do the work while He receives the glory. That doesn't appear to be what happened in your case and that's shameful. Eliyah,

That is the crux of it. Worship and Love are a Key ingredient, as is perfecting ourselves in the Lords eyes. A big part of that perfection is learning how to get along, Love one another, follow his precepts, and share. Up until recently, I thought I had that. I was only foolling myself. Now I know that I am slowly learning it- eating the pablum by the spoonfull, and starving for more. Walking the talk does make all the difference in the world, but sometimes, its very hard. Thanks to our Saviors love and affection, and perhaps a bit of humour, we are able to endure that walk a little bit easier. The Evil one puts hurdles in our path- and thankfully, our Savior takes them away. Cheers! Wolfgang Dan,
