Nothing grieves my heart more than this. How did this happen, we ask? That is where the Soul searching begins. Fortunately, we have a forgiving God. I pray, not only for my myself, my own kids and family, my friends, my Church... in this regard, but for our whole American Culture which is now thoroughly immersed in this consequence. I too believe that what we see today in the deterioration of the American family, for the most part, is irreversible, barring miracles, on every level, like the one we saw last night with the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. There is always Hope. But the Supreme Court is not the ultimate Judge. God is.
I've got to be honest. I'm seeing all of this in my family and I'm just bewildered. I've been a stay at home mom and thought that doing that would give my children a good life and values but it turns out since I've accepted Jesus as my savior that they've pretty much been my persecuters. I never would have thought this would happen but it is. I'm the enemy of my family and I'm fighting trying to save my family and I fear I'm losing this fight. I'm now having to make a decision that will change my life forever. My marriage I'm pretty sure is over after 28 years because I want to follow Jesus ways on marriage and my husband is a rebel more than ever. I only married him cause I felt in my heart it would be forever but now that I want a godly man he's not willing to even hear about it so I'm going to have to make a decision that will change my life forever. Do I stay because I made a covenant with God when I got married or do I leave and live the life I know I can't have with him.
Thank you Pastor Jimmy, I have been listening and reading your blogs as well as the "Tipping Point" book for a few months now. I completely agree with your teachings and am praying that I can continue to grow in my understanding of the scriptures, especially as they relate to the end and my personal walk.
I'm divorced after 20 years. It was both of our faults. My kids suffer from it. He married the girl he left me for and I have a boyfriend. Unfortunately I let him live with me because he doesn't have any other place to live. I don't think I want to marry him because I don't know if I trust him. He cheated on me the first year we were together but I forgave him. I know its better to be married but I don't know if he's right for me. I support him financially. It's a bad example for the kids. I have prayed about it but I'm not sure what to do. I'm seriously torn.
Sorry guys, I'm running a couple of weeks behind the rest of you. I'm trying to catch up tonight. Had to turn the TV off. This mess with the election has got my down, so thought I'd come here for some Spiritual pick me up.... I believe like Pastor Jimmy, that this is the apostate (falling away) and in the world we are living in, the nuclear family is a thing of the past. Breaks my heart to see how being married and having a family isn't important in this millennial age group these days. I was married for 42 yrs when my husband passed away, and keep thinking these kids today have no idea of what they are missing out on, besides what happens to their babies who don't have a mom & dad at home. Again I pray Come Lord Jesus, come quick...

Reading this hurts my heart. I've seen and felt the tears of the children, my own children. I just cant understand how a father can leave.
