Michelle, just a thought. The person you went with can probably talk to you most anytime they want to. You went to hear others talk. File that away for future reference and don't be afraid to say, "this is what I came for, we'll talk later if you still want to." But, I'm real glad you got to go, dang, guess I gotta move to Texas.

Kris...I know that I should have, but I'm so darn spineless sometimes. And the person I was with was the reason I needed to hear what Joshua had to say. Go figure.

Sounds like avoidance and denial to me kiddo. What does it sound like to you? I'm sure you knew the subject before not going to it.

There'll most likely be a dvd available before long

Hi Michelle,

Just wanted to add my $.02.

Avoidance and denial maybe, the devil for sure. Not saying that your beau is the devil, but the enemy will use anyone and anything to keep us from hearing the Word. That's his job, to keep as many people out of the Kingdom as possible.

Rebuke the whispers Michelle, you know what's true. And remember all that the bible tells us about unevenly yoked. I know in the real world it's hard to take directions from a dusty old book, but you know and I know, it's God's instructions for living, given to us for our benefit until Jesus returns...

I'm not trying to be condescending, you know that. I love and care about you. Our Heavenly Father wants His BEST for you. Do you believe this is His best?

Amen to that Allen, Embie is one remarkable lady! Love the teasing here between friends.

Embie, I'm not as versed in scripture as you are but use secular terms to try and makes points you do with the bible. It's all good, I think?

Sorry Kris I will do that

Unevenly yoked pertains to couples where one person is a Christian and the other is not. I'm not certain if Michelle's significant other has accepted Christ or not, but from her postings, I would think not.

2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Relationships/Marriages are difficult enough for people who's faith is centered on Christ. I couldn't imagine facing a crisis with a mate that had no trust or hope in the Divine?

When things are going wrong and you're feeling low, who will encourage you to get your poor pity-partying self out of that bed on Sunday morning and get to church? Who will point you to Jesus who holds all the answers? It is just another burden to weigh you down.
