That took courage to write. This is not meant to discourage you, but, your wondering and wrestling with the issues of life will be wiith you all your life. That may seem to be unfair to some but to someone honestly called by God to serve, it is a means whereby God develops a strong Christlike faith. Trying to reconcile what you see in the world and what you read in the Bible does not come about merely by study but by practice and study. &quot;Be ye doers of the word and not just hearers&quot; writes John.</p><p>It does seem, however, that you are struggling with issues more personal rather than 'what's in the world'. And with that I would encourage you to surround yourself with a few godly men to whom you may be accountable especially if you are entering the pastoral ministry of Jesus Christ.</p><p>God bless you,</p><p>KD</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
