Somewhere way back in my relatively short posting history, I told y’all about my best friend fooling me (for many years!) into thinking he was born again (and here I thought I was fairly discerning). We joined up as business partners and then I found out the truth. He is in fact not saved. He is instead very caught up in, and thoroughly deceived by, the New Age “teachings” so prevalent today. I have of course, tried to witness to him to no avail.

Long story short, the unequal yoke has resulted in very hard times for the business and strained our friendship terribly. I moved my family up here to WNC for what we thought and prayed would be a better life. Everything fell into place so rapidly that we were sure we had the Lord’s blessings.

It has been nothing but trial after trial ever since.

The business has been nothing but a financial drain on my life’s savings which are now gone. I've since started another business on my own and I need some contracts right away. My family life has degenerated as well. My wife’s faith in me as a breadwinner is shattered. Although she has never gone without in all our years together, now that times are tight (Without getting into more detail, please trust me when I say things are bad. Very bad.) she is turning on me. My wife is born again (she even read the Left Behind series and loved them) but is being drawn into Oprah’s deceptions. When I try to talk with her I’m “preaching”. My wife resents my spending time with y’all – and this is only place I find comfort anymore. She calls y’all my “Rapture Ready cult”! These spiritual attacks are weighing me down and robbing me of inner peace.
