In Jesus name, amen.
De-stress Laura tonight and throughout this Christmas season. Give her calm and peace amidst the business. make her finances work out better than she could have imagined. Help her to celebrate your advent in true worship. In Your name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
"with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning". God can never change or can have anyone change Him; nor can He cast a shadow (as one's shadow would fall to a surface & move according to the sun's position), because God doesn't move from Who He is & what He does. That is my understanding & Wesley states, "In God is nothing of this kind", meaning, though He is Light & the Creator of all the light we see in the heavens, the effect of that light in the heavens that impacts our lives to some degree, has no impact on God, even if God should stand under its glow. I don't see that Wesley has said anything contradictory - given that no one person would fully agree with another on some of these interpretations & the thoughts & expressions also affect what we read.
I don't believe that it's a curse to strongly warn someone of their behaviour or their accountability before God. If that's the case, we won't have a Gospel to preach. A curse would be the words one uses & manner of delivery that puts the other person under some type of curse that will come from God. People certainly don't want to hear, 'You'll burn in hell', even if they don't believe in God (I've always thought that to be very strange).
You have stood your ground & there is blessing & proof of your devotion to the Lord & deep concern for wayward sinful souls. Leave them alone, pray for them (Adam has given some good verses of encouragement), & continue to be a strong quiet witness of the Lord's Grace. My concern would be more for your husband & kids - they must truly be convinced of your Christian witness, both in the home & in sharing with unbelievers.
