Robin, I was just wondering where you are at with hope now? If it's still lost, I'd love to talk with you and try to help you find it. Please just let me know
@@robinbowles6915 I'm glad to hear that! I will pray for you, Robin! Whatever you're going through won't last forever, but God's love for you will and he proved that love for you by dying on the cross to forgive your sins. And then he rose from the dead to give you eternal life in paradise - that's what our hope is in, that's what can get us through this temporary suffering! May God bless you!
Building churches by their human business model is unbiblical. The seeker sensitive movement is unbiblical. In Paul's time, the most blessed churches were small and poor...But deep in faith.
God bless you i have learnt more about hope today

A STORY OF HOPE
A long time ago, there was an Inuit family high up in the
Arctic. It was a terrible year for hunting, and for months the
weather was extremely cold. There were very few animals to
hunt in the area, and so the family decided they would have to
travel south in search of better hunting grounds. When they
started their journey south, the walk became long and hard, and
they had very little food to eat. Their grandmother was very old
and slowing them down. It was a tradition in those days to
leave the old folks behind in hopes that the rest of the family
might survive. So they said their goodbyes and left her standing
alone on the ice. Later that day, a polar bear saw her and started
to hunt her down, but she was too slow to escape. As the polar
bear got close to her, she took off her big fur mitt and put it on
the end of her narwhal walking stick. She then stood there very
still and quiet, making no sound or movement. As the polar
bear got within feet of her, it opened its mouth to bite her, and
at that very moment, she shoved the mitten down the polar
bear’s throat choking him. It wasn’t able to breathe, and it died.
She walked all day and through the night and was able to catch
up with her family, and she told them what had happened.
They went back to the polar bear, and it gave them enough food
to survive until the spring. So you see, there is always hope,
even in the very last moments of certain death, there is always a
chance things can get better. There is always hope.
