When the Word of God is not set up as the supreme authority, division is inevitable. Such happens even in evangelical churches, when pastors and other leaders begin substituting their own ideas for the truths of Scripture. The substitution is seldom intentional, but it will always happen when the Bible is neglected. A Bible that is not studied carefully cannot be followed carefully. And where it is not followed there will be division, because there will be no common ground for beliefs and practices. When the truth of Scripture is not the sole authority, men's varied opinions become the authority.

Lisa, you must have more patience than I do.  I think I would tell them that she is dying and needs help.  Can't they help at ALL?  If they still say no, then may God have mercy on them.  🙁
Only by His merciful grace,

I spent most of yesterday on the phone lining up people to stay shifts with Jan and for meals. Most days, I talk very little on the phone so it was a little overwhelming to talk to so many people. Some of them aren't accepting or are naive to the fact that Jan could go to Heaven pretty soon. They would tell me about all of their activities as reasons for not having time to help. I'm not talking about jobs or necessities, I'm talking about fun things that they like to do. Some of them are not willing to skip a fun activity one morning or afternoon a week to sit with Jan even though they claim to be close friends. One lady goes to several Bible studies each week, but didn't want to commit to time with Jan. I feel sad for her as she is missing an opportunity that she may not have again.
 
 
I better start making those calls. I hope everyone's day is awesome!
