    Went to a Southern Baptist Church as a young man in the early 1970's and after getting married fell way from the Church but occasionally attended my wife's Catholic Mass . I never stopped reading and studying the Bible and also took theology classes while working on my first degree . Just recently I have been told I may have cancer by my physicians and always considered myself a Christian but have not lived my life in or for Jesus .
    I am sure my hypocrisy is staggering in the eyes of God , I attend on going back to my old church and enrolling in their Wed. night Bible study . I am from Pittsburgh Pa , thanks for reading .

    Welcome. I am praying for your good health.

    All of our hypocrisies are repugnant in the eyes of God. Join the club.

    Here's a verse that shook me to the core a couple of days ago. Even though I've read the Bible through and through - every time I read -something clobbers me over the head as if I've never read it before.

    Proverbs 16:3 = "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

    I've usually done this backward. I sometimes establish my own plans and then commit those human plans to God. ~ le sigh ~

    Take your desire to grow in the Lord and commit that desire to him and allow God to direct your plans as to all the "hows". Wednesday night Bible study is a good start. Keep your options open for God to lead.

    Thanks for the kind words , speaking of clobbering over the head , just yesterday I heard a person on Facebook speaking of when Jesus while on the cross Saying," My God why has thou forsaken me " I never knew he was quoting Psalm 22 and after reading Psalm 22:1-31 it foretold exactly how Christ would be treated on the cross .

    Welcome to the BB. Thank you for your honesty. "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" (James 4:8).

    Welcome to the forum, brother.

    Be on alert and study the word of God with Jesus's help so that you may be found approved as a witness and a minister to others in need as the Lord enables us.

    I lift up your health to the Lord. For whatever it is worth, a YouTube video says sugar feeds cancer and so cutting back on sugar or cutting it out entirely may help in your recovery.

    There is also a YouTube testifying to the use of castor oil topically, that can get rid of tumors and such. The nurse in that video says those having breast cancer would apply castor oil topically on the area, and it would go away eventually.

    I had applied castor oil on my head for a different reason but I can testify that the cysts I had in my right ear lobe is completely gone and the two cysts in the left ear lobe is diminishing. I am trying to be persistent in continuing that to get rid of those two cysts in my left ear lobe completely.

    I had applied castor oil on several areas of my abdomen, using a wide bandage to cover the spot to keep it from rubbing off on my clothes in the hopes that maybe it will get rid of my diabetes, but no such luck. I even applied 2 drops of castor oil in to my belly button and covered it with a bandage to allow it to spread into my body that way at night before I went to bed, but again, still have diabetes.

    Originally, I had applied it as such because of a small growth on my gall bladder, but I have not checked with the doctor yet to see if there is any change in size, but in the back of my mind, I was hoping it would get rid of my diabetes too. FYI The doctor does no know I was doing this, but just said for my family doctor to be watching it.

    A little more information: I applied castor oil over the abdominal area of where my pancreas would be topically and over the area where my gall bladder would be at and covered with a type of wide bandage to prevent it from rubbing off unto my clothes. The YouTube video does instruct having a plastic wrap between that castor oil on the skin and placing the bandage on top of that plastic, but I just put the band aid over it.

    Anyway, check with your doctor before doing that as I am not aware of what kind of cancer you have. It may do nothing, but it might do something.

    You can always go to the Lord Jesus Christ in payer to give you the peace you need to carry you through this difficult time.
