I just hope your son will realize that one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch...there are other wonderful Apostolic men out there, but they are not all "ministers"

BINGO!
"He" could be a assistant manager at a fast food restaurant, or work at a call center, or work shift work at a factory.

Right and still be a great guy....even a great Apostolic guy.

It's sad that we have to believe that a "minister" is only someone that stands behind a pulpit in church and "preaches"...often they are just preaching to the choir too....Sorry sister for getting off topic here and this was not meant as a reflection on you. It's just an issue I think all of Christianity needs to address. I believe we are all called to be ministers and I don't believe there is to be a special "ministry" class within the church like the RCC has priests.

I have a friend who met aguy on the ASF and they too got married. She actually moved from Arkansas to New Orleans. He was very mean to her, she left and came back home. That forum seems like a very scarey place.

Praying for you and your children.

I am addressing this to all "God's Baby Girls" or "Any Age Girls"..!

I sincerely believe the enemy has deceived many girls and guys,

women and men into thinking they cannot live without a companion.

Sure, it's great to have someone. I would not want to be without my

husband of almost 50 yrs. But regardless of our age or whatever, and

whatever situation we find ourselves in,. if we would start or start over

by "seeking FIRST the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and wait

for Him to provide "all these things (needs) shall be added unto you", it

would prevent so much heartache. If you rush out of one marriage into

another, without divine direction, you very possibly will find yourself

in trouble again. We are putting man before God and then wanting Him to

bail us out.

One of my younger sisters came back home after almost 15 yrs. of marriage

to a man who claimed to be called to preach. She met him at youth camp.

Later he came to visit and even moved to the area where we lived. There were

things others saw that were not right but nonetheless they were married and had

five beautiful children. There was infidelity and she returned home with a broken

heart and five little ones. He insisted there was no one else but married as soon as

the divorce he had filed the year before was final. He had the lawyer put it on hold,

putting the "other woman off" until he was found out! My sister left. She was faithful

to God and He was faithful to her, providing a good job that provided her with a late

model vehicle (she had no car or home), and it was near her home and schools in case

her children needed her. God watched over her and provided all her needs, including a

new brick home which she could afford. An older Christian homebuilder was willing to

help without trying to make a killing off her.

Long story shorter, six years later the ex-husband suddenly died of a massive heart

attack. She waited for seven years, when her youngest child had just turned 18 yrs.

old and God sent a wonderful man, who had lost his precious wife to cancer, and was

so lonely, her way. We had known this family for many years and knew him to be a

precious child of God whom HE had delivered from alcohol in his earlier years. He was so

thankful for God's goodness in his life and God had allowed him to preach the gospel of

Jesus Christ. He also sang and played the guitar that ministered to many souls longing

to be set free also.

Today they have been married 18 yrs. I believe, are still very much in love and pastor

a home missions church in Texas. If we wait on the Lord, in His time He will give us more

than we ever dreamed or hoped for. HE is Faithful who will not suffer (allow or permit)

the righteous to be tempted (tested or tried) above what they are able, but will with the

temptation (test/trial) make a way (door of escape) that they may be able to bear or

endure it!! He will make a successful means of escape. A safe door leading out of the

trial or testing/proving grounds!

They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with

wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. We

need to ask the Lord to teach us to wait..upon HIM!!!

This also applies just as well to God's Guys and Men of God!!

Blessings,

Please please - how many people belong to that forum and we just heard of 2 bad apples and the whole forum is scary-NOT

We don't even know for sure who we talk to on ANY forum

When someone opens themselves up to go on a forum - it is opening up a world of the unknown for sure

I feel sorry for sister but as she said it was tooo soon and definately was not a wise choice...we just can't mark everyone for that one individual that does not deserve this precious lady who wants to bring her children up in the sight of God and be a godly woman herself. I am sincerely sorry for your trouble you have been through. Word of wisdom: Don't get bit twice~

Just a note more!

This wonderful man also had children and between the two of them, have

provided love and strength to both of their families who are all grown and have

families of their own. But they all love to go "Home", for Home is where there is

God and love and warmth and a godly example of what True Love (God's Love) really is!

Blessings,

I just want to point out this other person is not here to comment and quite frankly it would turn this thread and forum messy if he did. Let's not speculate anymore on him or other forums because of a couple bad situations. The condolences are fine though

Sorry for what has happened ... only our God can mend what is broken in your heart. May our God give you peace in the storm.

Sorry that you and the kids had to go thru this.
