Think On These Things By Juanita G. Wingo
Wounded by Circumstance
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. Psalm 109:22 You can see it in the eyes. The hurt. The pain. The confusion. The resignation. The questioning. How did I get here? How did I let this happen to me? How do I get back to where I belong? What do I have to do? God will place circumstances around you. They will be out of your control. They may be unpleasant. They may be ugly. They may be miles away from where you want to be. But if you cooperate with him, God will use those circumstances to heal you. Like rough instruments can be used to cut open wounds so that healing can begin, so circumstances can be used to open places in your life that need healing. We may not like the circumstances, but they serve a purpose. Cruel twists and turns can divert your attention away from your intended path and before you know it you are somewhere you don’t want to be. Circumstances. Hard circumstances. Difficult to even think about dealing with. Circumstances you don’t even want to think about dealing with, but deal with them you must. Confront them you must. They are in your face and God is not moving them until he moves you! Circumstances will move you. As much as it hurts to be there, be there you must. You will have no choice. Circumstances will box you in until there is no escape but into the waiting arms of God. I have wounded and I will heal. Deuteronomy 32:39 Power Magazine n September 2016

THE CHURCH TEA
THAT PLACE
But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go; Deuteronomy 12:5 (NIV)
So you are relocating to another city or the church doctrine where you attend no longer lines up with your biblical beliefs? Or your church seems to be shrouded in secrecy and exhibits cultish behavior by shaming, intimidating, marginalizing or bullying members? If that is how you feel, it may be time to consider a new place of worship. But first a selfexamination is in order, to rule out self as part of the problem. Truth be told, I have offended someone … somewhere … somehow … sometime. And for that I must repent. Who of us, looking in the mirror, cannot say the same? Nevertheless, as Christians we must strive to offer love and support and “do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Gal 6:10 Of our churches, we must continually ask, “Is that place a place of love or a cause for concern?” If unity is our goal, the last thing we ought to do is drive each other away. Such instances are heartbreaking. Especially, when there is a member who has actively participated and supported the church (an usher or clerk for example) that decides to leave the ministry. And what’s ironic is that often in a large congregation you may not be missed, while in a smaller congregation your personal life may be open to unwanted scrutiny. In Hebrews 10:25, the Bible instructs us to forsake not the assembling of our selves together. To the contrary, here are ten potential reasons why I believe people may leave a church. 1. If the church seems cultish. 2. If the church seems judgmental.
3. If the style of preaching seems patronizing. 4. If the church seems not embracing in times of crisis, such as the death of a loved one, divorce or loss of a job. 5. If the church takes social or political views that they disagree with. 6. If an ex started attending with a new “boo-thang”. 7. If the pastor has been caught in a scandal. 8. If there is no children’s ministry. 9. If there are health concerns. 10. If relocating. The important thing to remember is that while our eyes should always remain on God, sometimes they are distracted … and what may be trivial to one may be major to another – especially when hurting. Leaving a church is often like leaving an extension of family. The decision should not be made lightly. Whatever reason you decide to stay or leave a ministry, make sure you never leave the presence of our Lord and Savior. Until next time be sure to listen via cell phone, radio or internet to me & Rev. Wingo on WOLB 1010 Fridays from 12-1:00 p.m. Email me: annwilliams@ramovers.com.

Meet Choo Smith and create your family’s Baltimore story at the
4t h ANNUAL BALTIMORE FAMILY REUNION EXPO Saturday, September 10, 2016
Experience the heritage in Baltimore. I’ve traveled all over the world as a member of the Harlem help but feel energized here. Look at our world-renowned African American museums, filled with stories of triumph over adversity. Look at our colorful neighborhoods—the creativity in the art, the food, the culture. Baltimore is a place to learn and discover. You owe it to yourself to visit. Inspire
