@juliemann2419 It get hard living in a community with lots of people but alone . Been single by far to long . And the sda organization simply does not care about singles . Sincerely Howard
@juliemann2419 Perhaps God is looking out for me . But I know I'm not alone ( being single ) . How ever people get lonely, alone . So to many sda singles , go find a companion in other religions. The sda need there own singles website so sda members can have a chance to find each other . There like 7 sda sites but anyone can be on them . (Looking for a one nite stand , many are all ready married) it is very discouraging. Because no one gets it . Sincerely Howard
Your wife was so blessed to be raised in a loving home. Where love was freely given. I was raised in a home where my father almost destroyed me. At 87 I still struggle with this. You were blessed with your upbringing too. I became an Adventist at 85, almost 86. I have no problem admitting how sinful I am. I know there is nothing good in my carnal self. I wish I had been like your wife. I am so grateful my daughter is in my life. Sadly though she is not a believer. My son was killed at 27. I heard he accepted Christ from a relative. I have such a long way to go but I sure hope God will accept me. And that my daughter and family will be saved. So often since being an Adventist I have felt so anxious and worried and not good enough. The message I get from so many pastors who I listen to on UA-cam is I am a failure. We aren't all where you say we need to be with our understanding of Jesus and that His love is freely given. I hope that I misunderstood. I keep growing and am sure not where I was, but I am not where I want to be. I hope that does not leave me out of Heaven.
I grew up in a cult religious church . And 10+ years ago I became a seventh day Adventist. To find that I'm unable to speak or teach , I've been told I'm a undesirable person. For several years I did odd jobs ( some things I could do ) I got called out , saying it takes more than tithing . Being single it is all most overwhelming for me 😢 Sincerely Howard
Howard...Take heart my brother. Jesus is right by your side. He sees every wrong done to you. Know that God has a work for you to do. Ask Him what it is and be persistent. He will lead you to it. He wants you to take your eyes off those who hurt you and to look at Him. He is who we must behold especially in the face of cruelty like you are speaking of. To quote someone I recently was listening to, "There is an investigative judgment and everything will be revealed". We serve a God whose love knows no bounds. Hold on to Him with everything you have realizing that the strength to do that comes from His great heart of love for you
Brother, be not deceived, For there shall arise false Christ, and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders (teach great and wondrous things) insomuch, that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect Matt. 24:24.
Pastor Kelly. You are an amazing man of God. He is watching over you. And we, the people who love and respect you, are praying for you.

It's great to see so much support for Pastor Kelly!
I pray he is restored to his position.
God loves you my dear brother, He is your God and He will lead you to still waters.

It doesn't help when the world tries to put your testimony to bed before it glorifies God.
