Thomas, you have sown seed, and you may never know what it will produce. While a “Church” may not have been established, the Word you have preached will not return void.

Thank you for some needed insight. We have worked with a people and a city for upwards to 10 years in preaching and teaching God’s Word in the hope to see a church established. And after all this time and not seeing fruit remain we belive lead by the Lord to move on. A church has not been established yet a testamony left. Shaking the dust off our feet is not so dificult with this greater understanding of an “eastern eye”.

When I was kicked out of a church for standing up for YHWH’s Feasts rather than the pagan festivals, a verse that helped me tremendously was, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the YHWH.” Romans 12:20 (also Deut 32:35). Each time I felt anger or frustration for being called a false prophet and a heretic, and then told we are divorced, I had to quote this verse to myself and/or spouse to help us dust off our feet. Two months later “Pastor Ron” was found in fornication with a student and left the church and the country in disgrace. YHWH repaid!

You are right, Judy; being bitter does not help you. There are times when we just have to move on.

I was thinking of this verse concerning a neighbor…have invested the last 10 years in their life but have decided that our time spent there isn’t productive and it is bringing my husband and I down. I like how you explained it…..I am a bit angry but not for them not responding to the gospel..just their negativism and vulgarity. Believe that life is too short and want to be around those who help me continue to grow in y walk with Christ and help those who I can help. Thanks for the reminder to not walk away being bitter.

Francine, shaking the dust off the feet simply means to not carry any hurt, bitterness or animosity. But as far as never going back again, I don’t think it implies that. I think that it is very helpful to remember that we are just delivering a message – people can accept it or reject it.
