While contemplating the difficulty we have found in finding a church home in this place called California without compromising convictions of what we believe to be clear teaching of scripture on secondary issues of the faith, or having to sign documents which contain rather legalistic sounding requirements for membership, which appear to be on paper only; but not adhered to by the actual members of the church; the following came to mind.
My brothers count now all with joy
The trials of various kinds
You face as God will use them,
Testing faith and steadfast minds.
Let patience have her full effect.
Grow perfect and entire.
For Christ has raised you from the pit
With Him from deepest mire.
And if you lack the wisdom
That you need for each new day,
Then ask of God, Who liberally
Gives all through Christ, The Way!
For every good and perfect gift
Which comes down from above,
Our Father gives Who changes not
And answers out of love.
I'm starting to really feel like a missionary in a foreign land. Praising the Lord for a good home church (in North Carolina) and modern technology.
