yours, mine or ours?
Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 11:29 AM

Hey guys,



I've been thinking about this in light of two friends of mine prayerfully hoping to be married next year, God willing. She goes to my church which is small in stature and members but she's heavily involved in ministry. The guy goes to another assembly that is about a two hour drive from where we are and he is also heavily involved in ministry. They have yet to decide on their place of worship when they get married God willing.



So I know this happens a lot and it's something that a couple needs to work out. What is your take on such a situation? I know the general consensus at least growing up that the woman has to go to the man's church no questions asked. I have not found any scriptural reference to something like this.



I already have in mind how I would want this situation addressed if it comes down to it because I too am heavily into ministry where I am. I know this is not a clear cut matter and there are many factors that surround it.



Thoughts?

Would it not be possible for them to each attend the other's church a few times to get the feel of it and to let God lead as to which church to both attend? Would it be possible that they could each continue in their own church but share their expeeriences at home and also have the meditations together at home? I know this would leave the question of children and where they should go but I would think the mother would take them with her until they were old enough to decide on their own. If they are so heavy into ministries I would think God would reveal his plan to them in time. Just food for though.

Tw,





I am a open book. In the beginning when Adam and Eve hid from God to cover their sins. God came to them and asked where are you? speaking to Adan and Eve. This word from God is to the church today. Where are we? Where are you?



Are we hiding or are we open and honest?



When someone like my self is totally transparent before God and people who choose to hide become unsettled.



Their is much that needs to be proclaimed and to honest with you if I was confident that God wanted me to walk up to the president of united states and give him a message I would not have any problem with that.



What God has poured into my life to take me from a scared little boy to make me a mouth piece for His purposes I have no choice to speak of His purpose.



Does that make sense to you?

Oh yes LTM I understand where you are coming from. And having courage to do so is not easy, but you know who you are and what your purpose is and the God that you serve.



I was thinking about the reactions of those you have spoken to. I know that sometimes when a prophet speaks he can either speak for the people or personally into the lives of people in a private setting. I know discernment is needed, I just wondered if those who felt uncomfortable would have rather had you speak to them in private. But if the Lord had commanded you to speak publicly that was his will in that situation.



Please do not think I am criticizing you I just wondered.

Tw,



God has long ago removed my ego and pride that was a very huge ego and pride.



If I need to seek forgiveness from anyone for any reason I have no issue with doing so in public.



I try not to offend but truth offends many times.



But I dont want to be a vessle distributing truth absent of love.



I love everyone here and all people because Gods love all. My heart deeply desires to see a end of the disfunction in families and the resulting divorce between parents.



My passion comes on strong and some individuals are just not used to such passion. I have commited my life to such persuit and my future bride will be one who will walk with me in such a uphill persuit.



I accept that the majority is not going to get me and will dismiss me as a religious fanactic or nut. Such is the life of a prophet.



:)
