Believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and you, He will save,
For us,he was nailed to the cross, His life He freely gave,
So that we could find His glory and grace,
And be with Him forever,after running the good race,
We gained our Salvation by His goodness and love,
That can only be given by our Father in Heaven above,
God has a plan for us,each and every one,
Of His children that follow His Holy Son,
He is the Way,the Truth and the Life,
I'm not saying that it will be easy,but it is well worth the strife,
Evil will not give up on us,because we belong to the Lord,
Satan will actually double his efforts against us,so sharpen your sword,
Meaning your faith,love and truth in God's own word,
We CAN overcome evil,if we believe,
In Christ Jesus,and that only He can set us free.

Just something I wrote when my wife was suffering from dementia. I used to believe, I was a Chaplain at one time so I had your belief:
Abandoning christianity.
Andy Brister (Goldfinch60) – August 2019.
Most of my life I had believed,
Believed in the Christian way,
The way of Christ.
Said to be Christ Our Lord,
The Saviour of Our World,
Son of God.
But where was He?
Where was He when my wife was ill?
Struck down with dementia!
All her life she had sung His praises,
Always there for Him,
But He was not there for her,
Or for me!
I looked after her
Often praying to my Christian God,
But nothing happened.
Each day she got worse
Until that time,
That time when I could not help her,
Help her any more,
So to a Care Home she went.
I was so sad,
So guilty,
But it had to happen,
Or I would also be there.
My Faith had become strained,
My Spirit was still there,
But not the spirit of the christian church,
My christian faith failed completely.
Then came that day,
That day at Church when I stopped,
Stopped praising Jesus,
Jesus as the son of god.
Yes Jesus was a good man
But not the saviour
Believed by the christian church.
That day changed my life,
It was like a weight had been shed,
Shed from by body.
All was well within me,
My own life had returned,
My Spirit was with me
And always will be.
But the ways of the christian church have left me
And relief pervades my body,
My body and mind.
I know Andy,and I'm truly sorry for your loss,my grandmother also had dementia/Alzheimer's and I watched her go down hill also,and it is very difficult to see and experience as a loved one,but everything that has happened has led you to the lady that you are with right now,my friend,
It's a true write C4C. We know we don't mean believing 'religion' or 'rituals'.
I feel we would still hold to Jesus as Saviour even if our faith dwindles.
I've not actually been to church for ages, since lockdown. Not sure which church to go to now.
Google lighthouse Community Church in Dania Beach Florida,it's my church,and it is an excellent one,the sermons are posted online on YouTube,give it a listen you might enjoy it my friend
