@kaleb @sinbach @tymektt … hi kaleb I saw this discussion and thought I would join 😁 … I will just say it’s very important that we pay close attention to all the small details of Scripture. At a closer look of acts 5 you’ll discover that Ananias did not die for failing to give to the believers. He died for lying to the Holy Spirit. His greed and his desire to people please led him to deceive. Based on those verses,, he could have given any amount and then been honest. His deceit is what was condemned. That’s a huge difference. Also take note of acts 4:32- these believers were of one heart and mind. Their hearts led them to give freely.

Can you tell me all those who suffer under communist regimes are of one heart? Do they give freely from their heart? I don’t think so. If they were, then why would they try to escape from places like north Korea or others.

@kaleb @sinbach @tymektt
I’m addition to the last post — EVERYWHERE else in the Bible that financial giving is talked about (both for Old Testament Israelites and New Testament believers), collections are made based on freely and generously giving as each one desires from their heart

@kaleb @tymektt we are going to have to disagree, because scripture is clear it was a choice. Acts 5 is not about force, it's about deception and lies. Ananias could have kept everything. it was his to give, but he took credit for something he didn't do. "Whilst it remained, was it not thine own???? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power???? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God!!!" its great to have a debate, but let's pls not pretend that one of us understands the Bible more than the other by telling one to read something.

@Berrybunchfamily may the Lord's healing hands be upon her!! Glad you're home!!

So tired this morning!

Jo's on pain meds. Pale, worn, tired, but getting better. Praise God!

We're up and about and recuperating.

Update on Jo

Firstly, thanks for your prayers. Truly. She felt them!!

Secondly you couldn't make up our day!!

She was discharged and forgotten about so we were actually there for 13 1/4 hours (they assumed she had left...sadly another woman got forgotten about in the morning due to the same issue - WAY too many people wanting to access the hospital).

They don't know what caused such bad pain in Jo, and there are way too many possibles so they have given her strong pain medication. If it comes back, plus any other symptoms, we go back to see a doctor.

On our way out we paid for the medication and they took twice the amount. But their card machines are new and they were unable to refund us...so they had to take lots of details so they can get the hospital finance team to lay us back the difference.

What a day! Now, where's my bed?!?

Had to bring Jo to accident and emergency (ER) due to stomach pain that caused her to vomit a few times yesterday. It's not a pain she's experienced before.

We've seen a triage nurse and are now waiting for her to be seen by a doctor...it's far beyond very busy here, so we have many hours yet to wait (they have already taken bloods to check out)

I'm running on two hours sleep as Jo was sick at 4am and I took a while to get to bed and to sleep before that

Prayers would be appreciated

Dear brothers and sisters, I would like to ask you to pray for my wife Anna.

The excessive stress due to the challenges we are facing has led her to have trouble swallowing and consequently to swallow food.

She is eating little, she is not very hungry and she is losing weight. I ask you to pray that my wife can be healed in her throat, that she can eat without hindrance and that she can regain her natural weight.

Thanks so much. You don't know how precious your prayers are.

God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏
